Explanation
§ This project will replace approximately 4,300 linear feet of 8-inch gravity sewer along the McMullen Creek tributary at Quail Hollow, from Gleneagles Road to Quail Hollow Club (Council District 6).
§ The purpose of this project is to increase sanitary sewer capacity to allow for future development, and rehabilitate aging sections of sewer.
§ This contract includes preliminary engineering, 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.
§ Atlantic Coast Contractors, 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.
