Explanation
§ Charlotte Water has recently concluded a condition assessment of the existing sewer within the CityLYNX Gold Line Phase 2 corridor. The condition assessment provided preliminary design recommendations for approximately 20,000 linear feet of pipe replacement or cured-in-place pipe liner and 112 manhole replacement or linings.
§ Relocation was reviewed but there is limited space in the street right-of-way and would be cost prohibitive.
§ Rehabilitation of the sewer would have been likely to occur within the next five years due to condition of the pipeline and manholes.
§ The intent of this project is to complete most of the sewer rehabilitation work ahead of the active construction for the CityLYNX Gold Line Phase 2 project.
§ Frazier Engineering, P.A. will provide final design, bid phase services, and construction administration services to include full time inspection.
§ On August 11, 2015, Charlotte Water issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for sewer rehabilitation within the CityLYNX Gold Line Phase 2 corridor. In response to the RFQ, the City received five proposals from interested service providers.
§ Charlotte Water evaluated the responses and determined that Frazier Engineering, P.A. is the best qualified firm to meet the City’s needs on the basis of demonstrated competence and qualification of professional services in response to the RFQ requirements.
§ A contract for the sewer rehabilitation construction should be expected in early 2016. Preliminary estimate of the cost of the total project is approximately $2,200,000.
§ The project is accounted for in Charlotte Water’s Community Investment Plan and in the rate projections for the future.
