The Engineering & Property Management (E&PM) project team managed the Archdale Signature Project through the stages listed below. Specific work was conducted during each stage with an emphasis on public involvement during the planning and design phases.
Planning & Design Phase (Fall 2003 - Summer 2005)
City staff worked with the Gannett Fleming Consultant Team to plan the improvements to the Archdale Signature Intersection. The plans were based on safety, cost, benefits, traffic analysis and a public involvement process. The public involvement process allowed citizens and nearby businesses to provide input at 3 public meetings.
Real Estate Phase (Spring 2005 - Fall 2005)
The City's Real Estate staff worked with citizens and businesses to acquire right of way and property easements needed for construction work.
Bid Phase (Winter 2005 - Spring 2006)
During the bid phase, final specifications were prepared and quantities of material were determined. The City of Charlotte followed the North Carolina state regulations and selected the lowest, responsible bidder.
Construction Phase (Spring 2006 - Spring 2007)
E&PM staff worked closely with the Contractor and property owners to ensure right of way agreements were followed.
Landscape Phase (December 2006 - Spring 2007)
E&PM's contractor installed trees, shrubs and groundcover throughout the project limits.
