2026 Watauga Street Improvements - Phase 1

The City of Kingsport is moving forward with the first phase of improvements to Watauga Street, a municipal roadway project involving substantial earthwork, paving, drainage, and related infrastructure upgrades. Three contractors have submitted competitive bids ranging from roughly $1.79 M to $1.83 M, and the city is currently evaluating the proposals before awarding the contract. This opportunity is ideal for firms specializing in civil construction, road reconstruction, and associated utility work, especially those capable of handling a multi‑million‑dollar municipal project. • Scope likely includes excavation, sub‑grade preparation, asphalt paving, curb and gutter installation, and storm‑water drainage improvements. • Project budget indicated by bid totals is approximately $1.8 M, suggesting a mid‑size infrastructure contract. • No detailed specifications or bid submission documents are provided; a prospective bidder would need to request the full solicitation package from the procurement office.
