Relocation of existing CMPD Helicopter Hangar to an off-site location alongside Billy Graham Parkway will be performed via Alternative Delivery Method, specifically Progressive Design-Build (D/B).  FAA regulatory studies, analysis, coordination and permitting is a requirement of this projects scope.  A Design Build team will be solicited to implement the project scope.

This will be an RFQ for professional engineering services including final design, of grading, drainage, electrical, pavement, construction administration, surveying, materials testing services. The project will expand the exiting main terminal ramp to the south, in order to provide dual taxi lanes and create the space for the ultimate expansion of Concourse C.

The Consultant shall prepare technical plans and specifications for the required repairs to the City’s bridges per the Inspection Reports. The Consultant shall schedule completion dates for each bridge. Before the beginning of the next inspection cycle, all bridge repairs should be completed by the contractor.

The Consultant shall prepare two (2) bid documents (including one for guardrail work).  Each shall include the technical plans and specifications for the bid packages for each bridge, as well as bid information/requirements for potential contractors.

This project provides design services to Charlotte Water. The project involves rehabilitation of Preliminary and Primary Treatment Facilities. Facilities generally include headworks, flow equalization basins, primary clarifiers, and gravity thickeners. A facilities evaluation, conducted by the design team, will determine the final scope of work.

CMAR (aka CMGC) Services

The project is in the early stages of the design phase. A CMAR will bring value in determining the most cost-effective alignment and provide potential construction phasing options, thereby minimizing schedule risks and constructability concerns.

This selection will consist of two separate types of work. The general scope of work for each generally includes:

Urban Design Services
The urban design services may be used for multiple projects and will be a task order-based agreement. This selected consultant(s) will support the city by providing services that encompass planning, economic development urban design, historic preservation and placemaking. Projects will range in scope and size.

Grant Preparation Services
The city has applied for various state and federal grants (SS4A, RAISE, etc.) and is looking for consultant(s) to provide assistance with grant preparation services for future applications. The selected consultants will be expected to lead the effort in coordination with city staff to provide all services needed to apply for various state and federal grants. It is anticipated that multiple consultants may be selected for this task.

The Center Lighting Vault Relocation Project will relocate the existing lighting vault, located at the Mid-Field area at CLT Airport to a new proposed location. The project will consist of site work, building work, site utilities, and airfield lighting circuitry.

The selected Final Design Engineer or Engineer of Record (EOR or Consultant) will produce Construction Documents to be issued for competitive bidding of one or multiple construction packages, followed by Conformed or Released for Construction Plans issued to the responsive or responsible bidder for Construction.  The design and documents are to be based on Preliminary Design or bridging documents prepared by the Owner’s Master Civil Engineer (Aviation Consulting Engineers, LLC, or ACE).  The Preliminary Design effort will include completion of the Design Geotechnical Subsurface Investigation, preliminary design plans to a 30% level of completion, pavement design, and preliminary surveys.  Final Design surveys, including pavement tie-ins, etc. will be the responsibility of the Consultant.

Airport will seek qualifications for Architecture/Engineering consultant services for the expansion of Concourse C.  The project will develop approximately 300,000 square feet with up to 16 aircraft boarding gates.  Services will include concept development (including architectural planning and site planning), schematic design, design development, contract documents, bidding services, and construction administration.

Design of Upper Little Sugar Creek Interceptor (at least Phase 1 from Wastewater Treatment Plant to East Boulevard).  The complete project extends from Sugar Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant to Sugar Creek Rd.

The project is a study of the current City of Charlotte Solid Waste collection process, the existing facilities for the processing of solid waste, and future needs that include providing strategic locations for additional facilities. The consultant needs to be able to make recommendations as well as have the resources to design a facility.

The selected firm will review the Solid Waste collection process and develop a master plan for how services should be provided throughout the City of Charlotte. This will include identifying possible locations for facilities, the make-up of facilities, and co-location opportunities with other new or existing City facilities.
