Explanation
§ This project will alleviate sewer capacity needs identified through Charlotte Water’s Capacity Assurance Program due to the rapidly developing Barringer Drive and Stuart Andrew Boulevard corridor (Council District 3).
§ 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 June 27, 2018, the City issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ); 12 proposals were received.
§ Sanders Utility Construction Company, 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.
