Council Direction Statement
This work corresponds with Carrboro Connects Chapter 10: Public Services & Communication (Public Works 1A) - Administer contracts for bi-annual street resurfacing, sidewalk improvements, and pavement markings based on maintenance needs identified in the Pavement Condition Survey and Sidewalk and Curb Ramp Condition Survey.
Annual maintenance and resurfacing of Town roads are necessary to prevent asphalt pavement failure and to maintain safe infrastructure. In addition to street resurfacing (both typical mill-repave and microsurfacing), this project will include ADA compliance related improvements such as crosswalk updates and adding a crosswalk with the necessary associated infrastructure (curb ramps and short sidewalk segment) at the intersection of S Greensboro St and Roberson St as well as minor pavement marking changes on Berryhill Dr.

Information
INFORMATION: The Town of Carrboro receives annual State Powell Bill funds for roadway maintenance. In 2022, Public Works hired LaBella Associates to conduct a Town-wide street condition assessment. Utilizing the results of this assessment, Public Works developed a project manual and bid package for street resurfacing and patching. According to the assessment, the weighted average Pavement Condition Rating (PCR) of the streets selected for resurfacing is 71.7, compared to an overall average PCR of 92.0 for the Town’s entire street system (note that pavement condition has universally deteriorated to varying extents since the assessment was conducted in 2022 and streets resurfaced since then have been assigned a rating of 100, meaning that the townwide average is likely skewed high). This bid package was advertised on April 19, 2026 and a public bid opening was held on May 18, 2026. The results of this bid opening can be found in Attachment B: Bid Tabulation.
Staff have taken steps to reach minority and women-owned business enterprises (MWBE) by advertising the bid opportunity on the NC Historically Underutilized Business bid posting website. Bidders were required to make good faith efforts to include MWBE subcontractor participation and to provide documentation of outreach and participation.
