The Town of Morrisville, North Carolina is requesting sealed bids for the International Drive Sidewalk Gap Improvements project, with bids due August 26, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. EST. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for August 12, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. onsite at 125 International Drive, Morrisville, North Carolina.

The scope comprises construction of approximately 2,810 square yards of new concrete sidewalk along International Drive from Aviation Parkway to the Dead End, including grading, driveway connections, curb ramps, adjustment of utilities, erosion control, and traffic control measures. Work encompasses 16 line items: mobilization, surveying, grading, concrete sidewalk installation, concrete curb ramps, retrofit of existing curb ramps, adjustments to manholes and utility boxes, fire hydrant replacement and relocation, temporary silt fence, fabric inlet protection devices, erosion control matting, seeding and mulching, mailbox relocation, and temporary traffic control. All work must comply with current North Carolina Department of Transportation Standard Specifications, Roadway Standards Drawings, and the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices.

The contract requires substantial completion within 120 calendar days from Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages of $500 per calendar day for failure to meet that deadline and an additional $1,000 per hour for violations of intermediate contract time restrictions related to traffic control lane closures during peak hours and specified holidays. Bidders must submit a bid bond or certified check equal to 5% of the proposal amount using the Town-supplied bid form with all entries in ink and unit prices limited to two decimal places. The Town retains 5% of periodic payments, with potential reduction to 2.5% once 50% of work is complete and proceeding satisfactorily. Contractors must maintain workers' compensation, general liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence), automobile liability ($1,000,000), and builder's risk coverage at full replacement cost, comply with E-Verify requirements and prevailing wage standards where applicable, and provide a 12-month warranty on all materials and workmanship.
