Description
The Masonboro Loop Road Phase II Municipal Utility Project is a comprehensive roadway‑improvement and utility‑relocation effort in Wilmington, NC, encompassing design, construction, and related traffic‑control work from Parsley Elementary to Andrews Reach Development. The scope includes grading, sub‑base preparation, concrete curbing, asphalt paving, extensive erosion‑control measures, utility relocations (water, sewer, fire hydrant, storm‑drain), installation of pedestrian hybrid beacon (HAWK) traffic signals, and a detailed Traffic Management Plan with temporary signage and pavement markings. Bids were opened on July 25 2024; three competitive bidders submitted unit‑price proposals ranging from approximately $1.48 M to $2.09 M. The contract will be awarded as a single‑prime, unit‑price agreement under full‑open competition, with a 10 % DBE subcontracting goal. No award has yet been made, and the project’s schedule and final contract value remain pending.
