The Town of Jamestown seeks a firm with the requisite education, experience, and qualified construction inspector(s) to enter into a Contract for inspection of work by private contractors constructing: various utilities, such as: water lines and appurtenances; sewer lines and manholes; and stormwater lines and stormwater structures; grading to approved plans; and roadway construction, including: excavation and compaction; subgrade compaction; proof rolls; ABC installation; and curb and gutter installation. Responsibilities include: observation of earthmoving and geotechnical testing; inspection of water, sewer, and storm drainage pipe installation; inspection of utility structures; and visual inspection of clearing limits, buffers, and erosion control devices. Geotechnical testing will be performed by independent testing companies.
Ideal candidates will have experience inspecting roadway and utility improvements, are familiar with Town of Jamestown Technical Standards, and have the ability to read construction plans; communicate with the contractor/engineer/owner; and keep construction records. The inspector will generally need to be onsite when the contractor(s) are onsite working, so workdays up to 12 hours and overtime should be anticipated.
Please contact Paul Blanchard, Public Services Director, at 336-454-1138 or pblanchard@jamestown-nc.gov. The RFQ will remain open until such time that a qualified firm is selected.

The City of High Point is considering options to repair or replace the dam at City Lake. They are in the process of acquiring property near the dam to help facilitate their access to the dam. The acquisition of property by a municipality (even in a neighboring jurisdiction) by negotiated sale or by eminent domain is a legal process governed by the North Carolina General Statutes and the Town of Jamestown does not have the authority to interfere. It is our understanding that the City of High Point has not finalized its plans. Our Public Services staff will continue to be in contact with the City of High Point staff to help mitigate any future impacts on our citizens during this process. For now, please direct concerns or questions to the City of High Point Public Services Director, Robby Stone, at 336-883-3217 or robby.stone@highpointnc.gov
