North Franklin Sidewalk In-Fill Project

The Town of Christiansburg, Virginia is requesting sealed bids for the North Franklin Street Sidewalk In-Fill Project under IFB #27500007, with bids due September 29, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. EST. Bidders must be VDOT prequalified contractors — a mandatory eligibility filter. The DBE goal is set at zero percent.

The project scope includes sidewalk and curb ramp improvements to ADA standards, asphalt mill and overlay, curb and gutter installation, storm drainage improvements, traffic and pedestrian signals, pavement markings and signing, and associated appurtenances. The work encompasses 42 line items covering clearing, grubbing, excavation, concrete and asphalt work, drainage, utilities adjustment, and traffic maintenance activities. Bids will be submitted on a unit price basis.

The successful bidder must achieve substantial completion within 270 calendar days and final completion within 300 calendar days after the Notice to Proceed. Performance and payment bonds are required within 15 days of the Notice of Award. Bid security of five percent of the bid amount must accompany each submission. Liquidated damages will be assessed per Section 108.06(b) of the current Virginia Department of Transportation Road and Bridge Specifications for each day of delay beyond contract times. The contract provides for unit price adjustments based on actual quantities, progress payments with retainage, and final payment upon completion and acceptance.

Award will be made to the responsible bidder submitting the lowest responsive bid, subject to the Town's right to negotiate with the apparent low bidder to obtain a contract price within available funds. VDOT concurrence is required for any determination of non-responsiveness. Questions are due September 4, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. EST, with responses provided via addendum by September 11, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. EST. No pre-bid conference will be held.
