Explanation
§ This contract is part of an ongoing program to provide repairs and/or improvements to existing storm drainage systems and the construction of new storm drainage systems.
- Each request is investigated and prioritized based on the severity of potential public/private property flooding and/or property damage.
- The necessary repairs for each project are designed and a work order will be prepared.
§ Approximately 30 projects may be constructed within a contract term that may not exceed 18 months. The number of projects may vary depending on the nature and extent of the repairs actually constructed.
§ On September 11, 2017, the City issued an Invitation to Bid; on October 10, 2017, one bid was received from an interested service provider. Since a minimum of three bidders are required for construction contracts in order to open bids per North Carolina General Statute, the project was re-advertised.
