After Bids are opened, the Owner shall evaluate them in accordance with the methods and criteria set forth in the Instructions to Bidders.

The Project consists generally of the following major items: 1. Replacement of two culverts a. The upstream 60" corrugated metal pipe (CMP) will be replaced with one 60" corrugated aluminum alloy pipe (CAAP) and two 36" floodplain CAAPs. b. The downstream 48" high density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe will be replaced with one 60" CAAP and two 36" floodplain CAAPs. 2. Priority 1 stream restoration through the Upper Reach, which includes replacing the existing incised stream with an excavated Rosgen Type C stream channel connected to the historic floodplain. 3. Priority 3 stream restoration through the Lower Reach with the objective of widening the available floodplain while keeping the stream bed near the existing elevation. 4. Significant elevation change is required in the Middle Reach in order to connect the Priority 1 Upper Reach to the Priority 3 Lower Reach. Constructed riffles, a boulder steppool sequence, and a more pronounced series of boulder grade control structures will be installed in the Middle Reach to provide a stable stream bed and necessary grade control. 5. Native vegetation will be established within and adjacent to the proposed stream. The City of Raleigh is solicitating two options, Option A and Option B, for the construction project Wilders Grove Stream Restoration project. All bidders (or contractors) must bid on both options. The City intends to award one contract for either Option A or Option B, whichever is in the best interest of the City. The exact edge of the landfill waste is not known. Option A involves constructing the stream channel at a higher elevation that is anticipated not to infringe upon the landfill waste. Option B involves determining the edge of the landfill waste by performing Test Pits and if possible, constructing the stream channel at a lower elevation using less fill.
