PW2006-17 – TW ALEXANDER DRIVE EXTENSION – BID AWARDED TO MAINLINE CONTRACTING, INC.
Pursuant to advertisement as required by law, bids were received and publicly opened on Wednesday, August 27, 2008 for TW Alexander Drive Extension project, PW 2006-17, with Mainline Contracting, Inc. submitting the low bid of $2,576,781.80. Mainline Contracting’s MWBE participation is 12%.
This project is a joint venture between the City of Raleigh and SLF Ruby Jones, LLC (“Stratford”), as established via Public-Private Agreement (“Agreement”) on October 16, 2007. The Agreement stipulates that Stratford will provide the City with a letter of credit equal to their share of the bid amount. This letter of credit will be held in accordance with City policy. Under the Agreement, the City’s contribution is limited to $400,000.
Recommendation: Approve the low bid of Mainline Contracting, Inc. in the amount of $2,576,781.80 and the budget amendments as indicated.
So what exactly does this mean? Where is TW Alexander getting extended to? Where can we find out what this $2.5 million project is going to entail - where it is going?
Hopefully it is another way in and out of the new Best Buy shopping center! The main entrance to Brier Creek is just ridiculous and only going to get worse with Best Buy, etc.

That is going to be a mess! I went by the new BB yesterday and they had the front doors open with some people working in there. If you go out using the exit facing Walmart, you can only turn right and must also compete with everyone coming out of Walmart and making U-turns.
If you exit on the Glenwood side, then you must turn right and make a U-turn at T.W Alexander if you want to head back towards Raleigh.
I think there will be a lot of accidents in this area during peak busy times of the day after BB opens.

Or if you drive a truck you just drive over those U-Turn things like I do.
It is pretty crazy sometimes out that way, you just have to plan your attack on where you are going.
The TW extension has been being worked on for a while now.
This road will lead from the intersection of 70 and tw to the intersection of access blvd and brier creek parkway. the construction has been going on for at least 3 months now.
So it's not going to Leesville Rd.? When I googled "tw alexander extension", some of the results suggested that the extension would be going to Leesville Rd, not Access Blvd.
If it helps with getting out of Brier Creek, that would be an improvement.
