Beaumont Avenue Sidewalk

The City of Burlington, North Carolina is soliciting bids for the Beaumont Avenue Sidewalk Project #4646-23, a comprehensive infrastructure improvement initiative located on S. Beaumont Avenue between N. Church Street and Bowman Avenue. The procurement involves constructing approximately 100 square yards of concrete sidewalk with ADA-compliant ramps, 200 linear feet of various curbing and curb and gutter, and associated site work including stone, grading, asphalt paving, and landscaping restoration. Bidders must be licensed under Chapter 87 of the North Carolina General Statutes and are required to submit comprehensive documentation, including a Bidder Checklist, minority business participation forms, and non-collusion affidavits. The project is funded through Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds and requires a 5% bid security. Bids will be received until October 14, 2025, at 1:00 PM local time, with the City targeting Substantial Completion by December 15, 2025, and Final Completion by December 31, 2025. The anticipated Notice to Proceed date is November 1, 2025, and bidding documents can be obtained through the BidNet Direct website or by contacting Brad Barber.

The contract includes provisions for minority business participation and requires contractors to demonstrate the capability to perform at least 60% of the work with their own personnel and equipment. Contractors must comply with local, state, and federal regulations, including E-Verify and Iran Divestment Act requirements. An Owner's Contingency Allowance of $10,000 is included, which can only be used with explicit written approval. While specific set-aside designations are not extensively detailed, the project appears to encourage diverse contractor participation. Bids will remain irrevocable for 120 calendar days after the bid opening, and the City of Burlington reserves the right to accept or reject any bids and waive informalities. Though a precise budget range is not specified, the project's scope and the inclusion of a $10,000 contingency allowance suggest a moderate-scale infrastructure investment typical of municipal sidewalk and street improvement projects.
