The Engineering & Property Management (E&PM) project team managed the Arrowood Road Sidewalk 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 - Winter 2005)
City staff worked with the Gannett Fleming Consultant Team to plan the improvements to the Arrowood Road Sidewalk project. 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 2 public meetings.
Real Estate Phase (Fall 2004 - Spring 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 2005)
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 DOT Construction, the lowest responsible bidder.
Construction Phase (Summer 2005 - Fall 2005)
E&PM staff worked closely with DOT Construction and property owners to ensure right of way agreements were followed. |
