The City of Greenville, North Carolina is issuing a competitive sealed-bid Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the Wildwood West Side Parking and Pier Project (Project No. 20250193). The scope of work encompasses construction of a 1,400-linear-foot gravel access road with wood bollards and rope barriers with GUC lighting, a 24-foot-wide asphalt driveway (50 feet long), an 18-space parking lot with two ADA-accessible spaces on approximately 2.0 acres of disturbance, a floating fishing pier with kayak launch facilities including an ADA transfer bench, concrete stairs and ramps, retaining walls, earthwork and grading, and erosion and sedimentation control measures. The project also includes recreational amenities such as picnic shelters, picnic tables, benches, and trash receptacles, with vegetation requirements mandating protection of existing Loblolly Pines and planting of at least 98% native species plants (836 of 848 total plants comprising trees, shrubs, native seed mix, and sod). The contractor must comply with TAR/Pamlico River Riparian Buffer Rules, obtain a Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control Permit, secure a City of Greenville Stormwater Permit and NCDOT Driveway Permit, and ensure all concrete work meets 3,000-4,000 PSI air-entrained specifications.
