The City of Asheville has implemented a Business Inclusion Policy specifically designed to encourage participation of women and minority-owned businesses (MWBEs) in the public bidding process. Successful bidders will be required to provide performance and payment bonds covering 100% of the contract amount upon selection. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed in the documentation, the procurement is structured to promote competitive bidding and inclusive participation from diverse contractors. The City reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to waive informalities in the bidding process, maintaining flexibility in contractor selection. This approach underscores the municipality's commitment to securing high-quality infrastructure improvements while supporting equitable opportunities for local and regional businesses in the public procurement ecosystem.
