CBD and Historic District Sidewalk and Streetscape Prequalification

The City of Asheville in North Carolina has issued a prequalification solicitation for sidewalk and streetscape improvements within the Central Business District and Historic District, aiming to streamline the selection process for future construction and renovation projects. Interested firms must submit their qualifications by the deadline of August 5, 2026, to be considered for participation in upcoming work that will enhance public pedestrian areas, improve accessibility, and maintain historic character in key urban zones. This prequalification does not guarantee work but establishes a pool of vetted contractors who may be invited to bid on future projects as they arise, reducing procurement time and ensuring a baseline of capability and compliance. The solicitation is open to eligible entities under the state-level government procurement framework, with no specific set-aside or NAICS code designated, and inquiries should be directed to Sarah Armstrong as the primary point of contact.
