FY27 Utility Cut Concrete Repair

The City of Asheville Public Works Department is soliciting bids for the FY27 Utility Cut Concrete Repair contract to restore sites damaged by utility installations. The scope of work involves repairing small sites, typically measuring 5 by 5 or 8 by 10 feet, including curb and gutter work, located throughout the city limits and the county for public water line repairs. Contractors must adhere to a strict operational timeline where sites are poured the same day they are dugout, ensuring no patches are left open overnight. The project is managed through a system of 10 work orders assigned at a time, with new orders issued only upon completion of the previous set. Each repair requires a minimum of three trips: meeting the inspector, performing the work, and opening the site. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder who is qualified and reliable. Applicants must hold current North Carolina General Contractor licenses with appropriate classifications and be certified as a building or highway contractor. Additionally, bidders must not be delinquent in ad valorem taxes owed to the City of Asheville and must certify a drug-free workplace. Bids must be submitted in writing via the provided proposal form by December 2, 2026. Successful contractors are required to provide itemized billing twice monthly on the 15th and 30th, including specific details such as work order numbers, dimensions of cuts, and total costs. Failure to complete work in a timely manner will result in liquidated damages.
