PURPOSE:
The purpose of this ordinance is to appropriate $1,054,734 in funds from multiple completed projects, interest earnings, and capital balances to the Hooker Road MUP (2TRST1428), Hinton Avenue MUP (2TRST1427), and Wrightsville Avenue/Greenville Avenue Intersection Improvements (2TRST1410) projects.
BACKGROUND:
Following a rejection of bids by City Council and re-advertisement, a bid opening was held on August 28, 2025, and three bids were received. Wells Brothers Construction Co., Inc. was the lowest responsive, responsible bidder with a bid of $4,297,913.52. This amount includes $2,394,080.91 for the Hooker Road MUP, $950,953.68 for the Hinton Avenue MUP, and $952,878.93 for the Wrightsville Avenue/Greenville Avenue Intersection Improvements.
This appropriation of additional City funds will reconcile the current funding gap, allow the award of the construction contract, cover the full-time Construction Engineering and Inspection (“CEI”) services required by the projects’ federal Surface Transportation Block Grant - Direct Attributable (“STBG-DA”) funding, and provide an appropriate construction contingency.
This additional funding is available from Water Street Improvements Phase 2 (2TRCP2001), Riverwalk Best Western Pier Demolition (2CRRF2315), Greenville Loop Guard Rail (2TRST2330), interest earnings, and capital balances. The remaining funding for the construction contract already exists in the projects.
budget
BUDGET IMPACT:
The budget impact of awarding the construction contract for these projects is $780,688 from interest earnings and capital balances. The remaining $274,046 needed to award the contract is from residual balances in various other projects.
