# Raleigh Advances Sidewalk Design-Build Contract

Raleigh City Council’s November 2026 agenda recommends authorizing a contract with Crowder Construction Company for up to $1,008,824 in Phase One progressive design-build services to close sidewalk gaps at five locations around the city. The work covers project coordination and design through 60%; construction is excluded and would require a later Guaranteed Maximum Price amendment, so this action funds design services rather than construction delivery.

- The proposed Phase One contract creates a defined design-services opportunity for Crowder, with any construction work dependent on a subsequent amendment.
- Contractors pursuing similar municipal infrastructure work should distinguish the funded design scope from the potential follow-on construction phase; no construction value or schedule is stated.
- The five-location scope may be relevant to firms providing sidewalk design, project coordination, and design-build support in Raleigh.
