The City of Asheville is seeking non-binding construction pricing for a large riverine urban park restoration project.
- **Buyer and opportunity**
  - Government buyer: City of Asheville, North Carolina; no sub-agency or office is identified.
  - The requested unit pricing is for project planning and comparison of construction approaches, not a binding offer.
- **OEMs and vendors**
  - No OEMs, manufacturers, or vendors are named in the materials.
- **Requested construction services**
  - Assume a project area of 10–50 acres; individual work quantities are provided below where specified.
  - Class II rip rap meeting NCDOT specifications, including placement in waterways, ditches, and around culvert ends; assume 100–200 tons of material.
  - Embankment excavation along eroded waterway banks, including unsuitable-soil handling and, if needed, dewatering and disposal. Pricing assumptions include 1–10-foot depths, narrow access, and a work length of approximately 200–500 feet.
  - Silt excavation from ditches and retention ponds to restore stormwater profiles; approximately 2,500 cubic yards, with disposal of excavated material and dewatering as needed.
  - Fill and compaction along eroded waterway banks; include bringing fill to the site and dewatering as needed. Assumptions include 1–10-foot depths and approximately 200–500 feet of work length.
  - Velodrome concrete surface: remove and dispose of 5,600 square yards of existing 6-inch concrete, install a 6-inch drainage layer, and place a new 6-inch concrete surface. Approximately 60% of the surface has a 20% slope.
  - Velodrome asphalt surface: remove and dispose of 3,400 square yards of existing 4-inch asphalt, install a 6-inch drainage layer, and place a new 4-inch asphalt surface meeting NCDOT S9.5C standards.
  - Replace a damaged pedestrian bridge with a 40-foot-long, 10-foot-wide steel-and-wood bridge rated for pedestrian traffic; include demolition, foundations, decking, and handrails.
  - Furnish and install a 20-foot-long, 8-foot-wide bridge rated for H15 (30,000-pound) vehicle loading, with steel structure, wood decking, concrete foundations, and wood handrails. Demolition is excluded for this bridge.
- **Pricing and notable requirements**
  - Unit rates should account for materials, equipment, labor, overhead, and profit; the RFI materials also identify specified exclusions.
  - Describe assumptions and methods for wet work, dewatering, restricted access, unsuitable soils, hauling, and disposal where applicable.
  - Applicable NCDOT standards, environmental and historic-preservation considerations, worker-safety and labor requirements, and potential federal funding requirements may affect pricing.
