As of May 16, 2024, project was awarded to Midstate Contractors Inc., with an awarded amount of $337,575.12. SCOPE OF WORK Catawba County (hereinafter "County") is requesting bids from qualified Contractors to provide road repairs to Brookstone Drive, Tuscany Court, Windsor Court, Carriage Lane, Waterford Drive and Cottingham Drive, located within the Brookstone Subdivision in Catawba County. A Brookstone Subdivision Road Improvement Project Map is attached to this Invitation for Bids as Attachment A. Project Summary: Brookstone is a subdivision located off of Zion Church Road, in Hickory, North Carolina, that consists of approximately 91 homes or lots. The roads in the subdivision were constructed in or about 1997 and have been privately maintained. The subdivision residents have petitioned the County to finance road repairs to bring the neighborhood roads up to North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) standards with the goal that the roads will be accepted into NCDOT's secondary road maintenance program. The roads are in poor condition and need repairs throughout. The main access road into the subdivision is Brookstone Drive and is approximately 4775 feet long. There are four (4) Cul-De-Sacs that access Brookstone Drive, Tuscany Court, Windsor Court, Carriage Lane, and Waterford Drive. Also included in this project is the relatively short section of Cottingham Drive, which can be accessed by Waterford Drive. Brookstone Drive, Waterford Drive, and Cottingham Drive have a 50-foot Right-of-Way. Tuscany Court and Windsor Court have a 45-foot Right-of-Way. Carriage Lane is not a part of this repaving project. Road Improvements: The majority of the subdivision roads surface will require milling 1.5 inches down and overlaying 1.5 inches of Asphalt (Design mix S9.5C). Some sections will have to be milled 2 inches and the gravel base will have to be reconditioned, where wheel ruts and pot holes will be filled with gravel (type ABC) and the entire base will be compacted and must passa proof roll before being overlaid with 1.5 inches of asphalt (Design mix S9.5C). On Waterford Drive from station mark 20+53 up to and including the Cul-De-Sac, recondition base and add crown. On Windsor Court from station mark 4+33 up to and including the Cul-De-Sac, recondition base and add crown. On Brookstone Drive from station mark 9+15 to 10+40, from station mark 24+57 to 24+93, and from station mark 27+35 to 28+00 recondition base and add back the crown. There is a pothole that will need to be patched at 1534 Brookstone Drive and at 4200 Windsor Court. The Contractor will be responsible for providing all tools, equipment and materials to complete the work. Proper traffic control measures and signage will be necessary to control access during construction. Access to all houses and active construction sites will be maintained throughout the duration of the project. The Contractor will be responsible for having the gravel density tests performed by a qualified and certified testing firm and for coordinating with County staff to witness proof rolls. The Contractor is also responsible for pulling asphalt cores every 1,000 feet of travel lane and tested per NCDOT specifications as presented in NCDOT Quality Control Manual (NCDOT QMS Manual Section 10).
