Sidewalk Project - Skibo Road

The City of Fayetteville is requesting sealed bids for the EB-6030 Skibo Road Sidewalk project, with bids due September 30, 2026 at 2:00 PM and a pre-bid conference scheduled for September 9, 2026. Bidders must be prequalified with NCDOT prior to submitting bids—a qualification filter that determines eligibility. The contract is a Federal-aid project governed by the 2024 North Carolina Department of Transportation Standard Specifications and includes Build America, Buy America (BABA) compliance requirements.

The scope is construction of a 5-foot sidewalk on the north side of Skibo Road transitioning to a 10-foot multi-use path past Morganton Road. All contractors must be properly licensed in accordance with North Carolina State Licensing requirements; non-licensed contractors have 60 days after bid opening to obtain proper licensing. The project includes erosion and sediment control certification and NPDES permit compliance. Contract completion is 270 calendar days from Notice to Proceed, with separate intermediate contract time provisions for traffic control operations. Liquidated damages are $600.00 per calendar day for failure to meet the completion date and $500.00 per fifteen-minute period for traffic control violations. The contract specifies a twelve-month guarantee on materials and workmanship.

DBE participation is currently suspended pending state guidance per the interim final rule and does not apply at this time. Sealed bids must be delivered to City Hall, 433 Hay Street, Fayetteville, NC 28301. Questions must be submitted in writing to Kimberly Toon, Purchasing Manager, at cofbiddingquestions@fayettevillenc.gov by 5:00 PM on September 16, 2026. A virtual link is available for the pre-bid conference. Bid and performance bonds conform to NCDOT forms. The City of Fayetteville will not retain retainage from progress payments, though contractors are restricted from retaining funds from subcontractors except as permitted by Standard Specifications.
