The scope includes removing a variable-size stormwater culvert at and around 116 North Street and replacing it with 36-inch circular reinforced concrete pipes. A portion of the existing sewer beneath a residential structure at that address requires grouting and abandonment in place.

Unit prices are required for Remove and Replace Unsatisfactory Soil, Remove and Replace Trench Rock Excavation, and Remove and Replace Mass Rock Excavation, with all bid prices including applicable sales taxes.

Bidders must hold proper licenses under North Carolina General Statutes Chapter 87. Insurance requirements include Commercial General Liability and Business Automobile coverage of $1 million per occurrence and Workers' Compensation coverage of $100,000 for employer's liability and bodily injury by disease per employee, with $500,000 for the disease policy limit, with the Town named as additional insured. Bid bonds or cash deposits equal to at least 5% of the proposal amount are required, and the successful bidder must maintain performance and payment bonds for the full contract sum.

The project uses no federal or state funding. Contract execution is anticipated for December 4, 2026, with project completion required within 120 days after Notice to Proceed. The pre-bid conference and optional site visit occur at Town Hall, 405 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
