FY2026 and FY2027 Various Storm Water Services Projects

The following is a general description of the Scopes of Service included in this RFQ. The selected firms will use HEC-HMS, HEC-RAS, and/or a hydraulic grade line closed system computer model, or an approved alternative (SWMM) method. All methods will be in accordance with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Design Manual. The City’s then current AutoCAD standards will be used for production of all plans and profiles.

Work will be issued via written Task Orders, which will specify the requirements of the various projects. Multiple Task Orders may be issued for each project. Multiple Task Orders may be issued at once.  The City of Charlotte reserves the right, upon successful completion of a given Task Order, to issue subsequent Task Orders to the same or a different Company.

The below list provides a general list of the tasks required. Task orders may include any of the following:

• Surveying, utility locating, and PACP stormwater asset inspections.
• Existing and Proposed Conditions Analyses
• Channel Stabilization and/or Restoration
• Utility Coordination
• Easement/Plat Preparation
• Public Engagement
• Preliminary and final design
• Permitting/Encroachments
  (404/401, NCDOT, Railroad Agencies and FEMA Floodplain Development Permitting)
• Preparation of Construction Documents (Plans, Specifications, and Cost Estimates)
• Bid and Construction Phase Services
• Geotechnical and Structural Engineering Services

The city anticipates selecting multiple firms to provide these services. These will be drainage area-based storm drainage improvement projects that involve differing land uses within the project areas. Drainage basins may include closed and open systems. The study areas may be on a portion of the watershed or the entire watershed. Task orders may be issued for multiple projects at once. Upon satisfactorily completing a task order, the City may issue additional task orders. Scoping on these projects is anticipated to begin in early 2026.
