Explanation
§ This project will provide public sewer service to concession and bathroom facilities at Veteran’s Memorial Park in the Town of Mint Hill (adjacent to Council District 5) by providing an extension of approximately 6,500 linear feet of trunk sewer, which will serve the Goose Creek Basin.
§ 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.
§ Crowder Construction Company 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 project was prompted by Mint Hill and, in accordance with the Charlotte Water Extension Policy, the Town was granted a five-year reimbursable agreement in order to accelerate construction.
§ On July 23, 2018, City Council approved a Resolution to enter into an Interlocal Agreement and Reimbursable Sewer Construction Contract with Mint Hill to design and build the sewer trunk line.
§ In the future, City Council will receive a request for the approval of the GMP once it is established.
