Explanation
§ The Roofing Replacement Program in the current Community Investment Plan for Fiscal Years 2018-2022 will replace roofs at various water and wastewater facilities.
§ The number of roofs distributed over this large geographic area will result in multiple design/construction projects. It is anticipated that 38 roofs at five facilities will be replaced.
§ The Roofing Replacement Program is proposed to be delivered by program management methodology to obtain efficiency and cost benefits. The program manager will supplement staff, thereby allowing Charlotte Water staff to deliver more core projects.

- Overall planning, scheduling, coordination, and reporting,
- Preparation of bidding/construction documents,
- Expediting plan review and permit approval through County Building Inspections,
- Bid Phase Services,
- Construction Administration and Inspection, and
- Post Construction Phase Services (warranty).
§ It is proposed that the Program Manager will contract directly with the design subconsultants.
§ On March 1, 2017, the City issued a Request for Qualifications; three proposals were received from interested service providers.
§ Amec Foster Wheeler Environment & Infrastructure was determined to be the best qualified firm to meet the City’s needs in terms of competence and professional services qualifications for the Roofing Replacement Program Management.
