BACKGROUND:
This action provides for the use of bond funds rather than NCDOT grant funds for the construction of this project to be consistent with current funding arrangements with NCDOT established under Supplemental Agreement #6 for Project EL-5101DL. These funding arrangements reflect limited federal funding availability, higher than expected construction costs, and the need to expedite delivery of this community priority project. The use of bond funds enables the City to avoid construction delays to the Friendly Avenue project as well as to other projects to be constructed under EL-5101DL (Yanceyville Street, Pisgah Church Road, and Lees Chapel Road).
This work consists of all labor, equipment, and materials required for installation of 5700 SY of 4” concrete sidewalk and segmental retaining walls; along with ADA compliant concrete curb cuts and driveways.
