Rothgeb Streambank Stabilization Project (rebid)

The City of Raleigh's Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources Department is seeking proposals for the Rothgeb Streambank Stabilization Project, a public infrastructure improvement initiative located along the Crabtree Creek Trail at Rothgeb Park. The project involves stabilizing approximately 100 linear feet of streambank through the installation of wood toe with soil lifts, comprehensive revegetation using trees, shrubs, and seeding, and implementing robust erosion and sediment control measures. Contractors will also be responsible for necessary traffic control during project execution. The Request for Proposals (RFP) was issued on April 14, 2025, with bid submissions due by April 23, 2025, at 11:00 AM EST. The project has a defined completion timeline of 180 calendar days, and bidding documents can be obtained from Accent Imaging for $80 for hard copies and $40 for soft copies. Evaluation criteria will focus on selecting the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, taking into consideration quality, performance, and specified timelines. Bidders must be licensed to perform work in North Carolina and submit a 5% bid security with their proposal.

The procurement includes a Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprise (MWBE) participation goal of 15% for construction projects exceeding $300,000, with specific documentation requirements including Affidavit A (Listing of Good Faith Efforts) or Affidavit B (Intent to Perform Contract with Own Workforce). Prospective bidders must demonstrate compliance with MWBE participation guidelines to be considered responsive. The project will be funded through the City of Raleigh's budget, with the total bid price including a 10% contingency to address potential additional costs or scope modifications. While no incumbent vendors are specifically mentioned, contractors will need to integrate their work with the existing Crabtree Creek Greenway Trail infrastructure. The precise budget range is not explicitly stated, but the inclusion of a 10% contingency suggests flexibility in project funding and a recognition of potential variability in streambank stabilization costs.
