Work must be completed within 180 consecutive calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, occurring between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday or on weekends for safety compliance on NCDOT-maintained and major roads. All timepoint signs are available for pickup at the City of Raleigh Sign Shop.

The project is federally funded through the Federal Transit Administration with potential federal funding assistance up to 80%. Bids exceeding $100,000 require completion of federal certifications on Lobbying (Attachment A), Debarment and Suspension (Attachment D), and Owner's Certification of Compliance with Davis-Bacon Provisions (Attachment G).
