Explanation
§ The Little Sugar Creek Tributary to Fairview Road gravity sewer line parallels Tyvola Road and Fairview Road, on the south, from Piedmont Row Drive to the Lower Sugar Creek Gravity Sewer Outfall in Park Road Park. This gravity sewer line serves homes and businesses located in the SouthPark area of Charlotte (City Council District 6).
§ The area serviced by this gravity sewer line has seen a high rate of infill development and land use changes since it was designed and constructed in the 1960s. The projected sewer flows from proposed developments in the area indicates that additional sewer capacity is needed and the gravity sewer line must be upsized.
§ In order to address capacity concerns, the project includes the replacement of approximately 6,000 linear feet of 8, 10, and 12 inch diameter gravity sewer.
§ Council has taken several actions to approve a five-year reimbursable contract with a developer for replacing a sanitary sewer outfall necessary to serve a development in the SouthPark area. A contract for design of this sanitary sewer improvement has also been approved.
§ On August 3, 2016, Charlotte Water issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Professional Engineering Services for Miscellaneous Sanitary Sewer Improvement Projects. In response to the RFQ, Charlotte Water received 16 proposals from interested professional service providers.
§ STV Engineers, Inc. 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.
§ The contract provides engineering services for the construction phase and includes inspection services as well as construction materials testing.
§ This phase of the project is anticipated to be completed by the first quarter of 2019.
