Explanation
* R.H. Price, Inc. has developed a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) for construction that will combine portions of three city projects that share the same corridor in east Charlotte (Council District 5), to ensure these locations are impacted only once by these projects.
* These three projects include the construction of a 42-inch water main along Monroe Road as part of an intersection project, a sidewalk project along North Sharon Amity Road, and a portion of the Idlewild Road Water Supply project that overlaps with the sidewalk project.
* On April 27, 2020, City Council approved a contract with R.H. Price, Inc. for Design-Build design services. Based on the design, a GMP for construction services was developed.
