Explanation
§ The Valley Haven Stream Restoration Project area is located in the McAlpine Creek watershed with boundaries of Rocky Falls Road to the north, McAlpine Creek to the south, Pineburr Road to the east, and Charter Place to the west in Council District 6.
§ Services consist of final design, construction, warranty, and required mitigation monitoring.
§ Restoration of over 5,300 linear feet of stream is expected which will yield Stream Mitigation Units when complete under the city’s Umbrella Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank.
§ Stream restoration projects are ideal candidates for the design-build method which allows for greater flexibility for field changes during construction.
§ On August 22, 2022, following a competitive solicitation process, City Council approved a contract for $1,193,100 with North State Environmental, Inc. for Design-Build design services for the Valley Haven Stream Restoration project.
§ The city’s design-build delivery method is in conformance with NC General Statue Section 143-128.1(a) and consistent with the Design-Build Institute of America best practices.
§ This project is pending Mecklenburg County granting a conservation easement.
§ The project is anticipated to be completed by second quarter 2028.
