Curb Ramp and Crosswalk Projects

The Town of Chapel Hill is requesting bids for three separate curb ramp and crosswalk construction projects—at Estes Drive at Halifax Drive, Legion Road at Formosa Lane, and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard at Central Park Lane—with sealed bids due September 24, 2026 at 2:00 PM EST and an optional pre-bid conference on September 10, 2026 at 2:00 PM EST via Microsoft Teams.

The scope encompasses NCDOT standard curb ramp construction, crosswalk striping, installation of Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs), modular pedestrian medians, green paint, and tubular markers or flex posts. All projects require utility locates prior to construction with contractor responsibility for utility coordination, and asphalt work to make streets flush with new curb ramps. Traffic control plans are included for the MLK/Central Park location; the Estes/Halifax location offers a traffic control option; and the Legion/Formosa location requires the contractor to submit compliant traffic control plans. All work must coordinate with Town Transportation Engineering and Planning Departments.

Bidders must hold proper North Carolina licensing for their respective trades. Insurance requirements include Commercial General Liability and Business Automobile coverage of $1 million per occurrence, and Workers' Compensation coverage of $100,000 for employer's liability and bodily injury per employee with a $500,000 disease policy limit. Performance and Payment Bonds are not required. Bid prices must include sales taxes.

Tasks 1 and 2 must be substantially completed by November 30, 2026, and Task 3 by December 31, 2026. Liquidated damages of $750 per calendar day apply for missed deadlines. The contract is subject to federal provisions including the Davis-Bacon Act and prevailing wage determinations. Requests for written interpretation are due September 15, 2026 at 5:00 PM EST, with responses published as an addendum on September 17, 2026.
