The City of Wilmington is seeking a single‑prime contractor (licensed under NC Chapter 87) to perform extensive bulkhead repairs along the future Water Street Park riverfront. The scope includes corrosion removal, steel hole repairs, removal of creosote‑treated pilings and girders, recoating of sheet piles with coal‑tar epoxy, asphalt pavement patching, and back‑filling with rip‑rap and stone. Bidders must submit sealed proposals by 3 PM on October 31 2024, include a 5 % bid bond, and guarantee the bid for 90 days. A good‑faith effort to subcontract at least 14 % of the prime value to minority‑ or disadvantaged‑owned businesses is required, with documentation needed if the target is not met. No contract value is disclosed; however, the work involves roughly 500 linear feet of bulkhead and associated marine demolition, indicating a medium‑sized civil‑construction project.
