Explanation
* These contracts will provide traffic control services for water and sanitary sewer infrastructure maintenance performed by Charlotte Water.
* Maintenance of water and sanitary sewer infrastructure requires safely guiding traffic through active work zones, lane closures, and other situations while protecting city staff, residents, and equipment during the work activity or closure.
* On December 8, 2025, the city issued a Request for Proposals (RFP); four responses were received.
* The companies selected best meet the city's needs in terms of qualifications, experience, cost, and responsiveness to RFP requirements.
* At renewal, potential price adjustments may be considered based on legitimate and justified increases in the cost of doing business. The ability to consider price adjustments also allows the city to accept decreases, if warranted.
* Annual aggregate expenditures are estimated to be $450,000.
