BACKGROUND:
Holts Chapel Road and Lowdermilk Street Widening and Sidewalk Improvements will enhance pedestrian and bicycle circulation in and around downtown and improve transportation safety and mobility choices.

The Transportation Department, with the approval of the NCDOT, has identified the need to add several items to the contract per the NCDOT review process: bus stop concrete pad revision along with corresponding revisions to the plans and bid documents, and bid proposal form. The cost to incorporate the additional engineering is $18,451.62. With this contract extension, the new total amount of the contract will be $462,929.69. Federal funds are reimbursing 80% of the cost.
