Water Street Transformation Project

GENERAL NOTICE

The City of Elizabeth City (Owner) is requesting Bids for the construction of the following Project:

Water Street Transformation

Bids for the construction of the Project will be received at the City Hall Council Chambers, second floor,

located at 306 East Colonial Avenue, Elizabeth City, NC, until 2:00 pm local time on Thursday, October 17,

2024, at which time the Bids received will be publicly opened and read.

The Project spans Water Street from the intersections of Ehringhaus to Main Streets. The Project

elements include demolition, removal, and replacement of existing, deteriorated sidewalk on both sides

of Water Street between these intersections, with the southern terminus of the eastern sidewalk

connecting to Waterfront Park. Replaced sidewalk should be the same width and height as current

sidewalk, unless inadvisable due to settlement or other factors. The Project will also install new sidewalk

eastward to connect Main Street to Moth Boat Park.

New sidewalk will include decorative brick-banding consistent in style with existing brickwork on Main

Street. Project elements will entail installation of new streetlighting and associated/necessary electrical

infrastructure. New streetlights should be consistent/appropriate in style, spacing and luminosity with

the downtown Main Street corridor.

The Project includes mobilization, demolition, undercut of existing subgrades, drainage structures,

pavement repair, flatwork, pavers, curb and gutter, curb ramps, driveways, tree planters, traffic control,

signage, streetlights, electrical, utility construction (if necessary), silt fence, lawn repair, and landscaping.

The foregoing description shall not be construed as a complete description of all work required.

Bids will be received for a General Construction Contract with a license classification for Highway

Contractor.
