I. PURPOSE

The Town of Holly Springs is seeking a Statement of Qualifications from licensed engineering firms for

Holly Springs is a global biomanufacturing hub located in Wake County, NC, the third fastest-growing

from RTP airport, and three tier-one research universities, Holly Springs boasts an ecosystem

encompassing infrastructure, diverse talent, affordability, and quality of life.

The town currently maintains over 170 miles of roadway for which it receives state funds. Approximately

every five (5) years, a pavement condition survey (FHWA method) is conducted for the entire town-

maintained road network. Based on the latest street rating survey, streets are prioritized for

rehabilitation. Funding will be provided through Powell Bill funds. Powell Bill funds are annual state-

shared gas tax revenues allocated to municipalities in North Carolina for roadway maintenance under G.S.
