Explanation
§ This project will provide approximately 19,500 linear feet of new sanitary sewer in the Toby Creek/Mallard Creek basins, located from Moulton Court to the East Mallard Creek Church Road and North Tryon Street intersection (Council District 4). The project will increase sanitary sewer capacity for development in the University City area.
§ The project will be delivered through collaboration and coordination with the UNC Charlotte, North Carolina Department of Transportation, Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation, and Mecklenburg County Land Use and Environmental Services Agency.
§ The contract includes design services and development of a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) for construction.
§ This 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.
§ R.H. Price, Inc. was determined to be 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, City Council will receive a request for the approval of the GMP once it is established.
