Explanation
§ The project will provide for approximately 33,000 linear feet of gravity sanitary sewer, to replace existing sanitary sewer, ranging from 10 to 24-inch diameter to increase capacity in the Little Hope Creek Basin (Council Districts 1, 3, and 6).
§ This contract includes design services and development of a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) for construction.
§ The project will require the acquisition of easements along the sewer main corridor. During acquisition negotiation, property owners will have an opportunity to voice comments and concerns about the alignment of the sewer and easement acquisition affecting their property.
§ On July 13, 2018, the City issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ); 12 proposals were received.
§ Park Construction of North Carolina, 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.
§ In the future, Council will receive a request for the approval of the GMP once it is established.
