Explanation
§ State Utility Contractors, Inc. has developed a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) for construction of the improvements and relocation of the force main for the Paw Creek Pump Station, serving areas in northwest Mecklenburg County (adjacent to and including Council Districts 2 and 3).
§ These improvements will upgrade and relocate the force main to enhance the reliability of the station and to accommodate future projected flows in the area, including flows from the City of Mount Holly until the Stowe Regional Water Resource Recovery Facility is constructed.
§ On January 14, 2019, City Council approved a contract with State Utility Contractors, Inc. for Design-Build design services. Based on the design, a GMP for construction services was developed.
§ The project is anticipated to be complete by fourth quarter 2021.
