Wake BRT New Bern Avenue Construction Package 3

The City of Raleigh, North Carolina, is soliciting sealed bids for the Wake BRT New Bern Avenue Construction Package 3, which serves as the final of three construction packages for a federally funded Bus Rapid Transit project. The scope of work involves the construction of 19 station platforms at unique sites along the corridor. Key deliverables include concrete foundations and platforms, structural steel, metal panel windscreens, and various station amenities. The project also requires minor site work and limited utility improvements, specifically new electrical service, ITS, and minor storm drainage, as well as specialized excavation for the removal of rock, cobblestone, and old streetcar tracks. NCDOT specifications will serve as the leading standards for the project. Bids are due by 1:00 PM on November 16, 2026, and must be delivered to the City of Raleigh office at 222 W Hargett St., Room 305. Award will be granted to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, with evaluations based on bid price, quality performance, and the proposed performance time. Submission requirements include bid security equal to five percent of the bid and evidence of licensure per North Carolina General Statute, Chapter 87. The project features updated DBE requirements aligned with federal guidelines and an extended construction contract time of three months for the area. Coordination between contractors across all three construction packages is required to maintain site access.
