Laurel Avenue Storm Drainage Improvement Project

The City of Charlotte is seeking qualified contractors to design and construct improvements to the storm drainage system along Laurel Avenue and adjacent streets. Existing undersized closed‑pipe systems have caused street and building flooding; the project will replace or enlarge these pipes, restore proper flow, and mitigate future flood risk. The solicitation includes detailed insurance and bonding requirements and estimates a total project value between $1 M and $5 M. • Scope: demolition of existing undersized pipe sections, installation of new larger‑diameter storm‑water conduits, and related site restoration within defined boundaries (Laurel Ave, Dotger Ave, Randolph Rd, Hempstead Pl). • Requirements: vendor must maintain automobile liability, general liability, workers’ compensation, and construction bonds (bid, payment, performance). • Financials: anticipated total contract value $1‑4,999,999; the City will enforce bonding and insurance compliance throughout construction.
