Main Street Sidewalk Connector Project

The Town of Holly Springs is requesting sealed bids for the Main Street Sidewalk Connector project (Project No. 22-007, TIP No. BL-0052), involving approximately 1,200 linear feet of concrete sidewalk construction along the east side of North Main Street from Trellis Pointe Drive to Arbor Creek Drive, with bids due October 1, 2026 at 2:00 PM and a mandatory pre-bid conference on September 14, 2026 from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM.

The scope includes removal of soil and rock from the existing roadside, installation of a roadside ditch, and installation of guardrail. Estimated quantities comprise 530 cubic yards of undercut excavation, 690 square yards of 4-inch concrete sidewalk, 70 linear feet of 2'-6" concrete curb and gutter, 338 linear feet of steel beam guardrail, 1,270 linear feet of temporary silt fence, and erosion control, drainage, and traffic control materials across 68 line items. Work must comply with NCDOT Standard Specifications for Roads and Structures.

Contractors must be licensed to perform the specified work in North Carolina and must demonstrate E-Verify compliance and equal employment opportunity compliance. Current litigation with the Town is a disqualifier. Performance and Payment Bonds equal to 100 percent of the contract price are required, with performance bonds from surety companies licensed in North Carolina. Bid security of at least 5 percent of the total bid amount in the form of a certified check or bid bond must accompany each proposal.

The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. All work must be completed within 180 consecutive calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, which the Town will issue within 60 days of contract award by Town Council. Liquidated damages of $600 per calendar day apply for each day work remains incomplete beyond the 180-day deadline. Progress payments will be made monthly. Questions are due September 17, 2026 at 5:00 PM, and addenda will be posted by September 24, 2026.
