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.

The purpose of this project is to increase capacity along Rea Road. Capacity will be increased by utilizing the right turn lane drops and median to develop an additional NB and SB through lane along Rea Road between the I-485 ramps and Williams Pond Lane. This project will also result in increased turn lane capacity and intersection improvements at Piper Station Drive and Ballantyne Commons Parkway. Pedestrian safety and mobility will be improved by providing sidewalks on both sides of Rea Road. Other specific improvements include: curb and gutter, accessible ramps, and driveways.

This Project will install 270 LF of proposed 12′ wide multi-use-path, curb ramps, crosswalks across NC 49, Pedestrian concrete island, milling/resurfacing, storm drainage and pedestrian hybrid beacon with mast arms near the intersection of University Blvd and Mark Twain Road. This project will also install pedestrian crossings, wheelchair ramps, traffic signals milling/resurfacing and storm drainage system at the intersection of University City Blvd and Suther Rd.91347

Belk Greenway Connector is a cycle track project. This project will involve shifting the medians on McDowell St to make room for the cycle track, replacing noncompliant curb ramps, replacing noncompliant pedestrian signals, transferring signal heads to new mast arms, mill & overlay, pavement markings, sign installation, and the removal of 4 median trees.

The purpose of this project is to improve traffic flow on North Tryon Street by extending the left turn lane. This project will include lane widening, drainage and pavement markings.

This is an intersection project which will involve installing a new traffic signal with pedestrian signals, widening some of the approaches, replacing all curb ramps, mill & overlay, and pavement markings. The traffic signal will use steel strain poles.

This project will build bike facilities in several different locations throughout the Elizabeth neighborhood to create safer conditions and improve ease of travel for cyclists and pedestrians, including approximately 2.1 miles of sharrows, modernization of two existing rectangular rapid flashing beacons, replacement of 10 wheelchair ramps, a new pedestrian crossing at Pecan Avenue and Shenandoah Avenue, implementation of new bike detection cameras, a new full traffic signal at Bascom Street and 7th Street, and a curb extension located at the intersection of Pecan Avenue and 8th Street.

The scope of this project is to connect one 2000-ton chiller (owner furnished and set on equipment pad) and corresponding mechanical equipment to the CEP. The addition of the chiller will also include the installation of one 2000-ton rooftop cooling tower, one chilled water pump, removal of existing filtration systems, new side filtration skids, and one condenser water pump. Existing structure and piping will be extended as needed to accommodate the installation of the listed equipment.

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 project consists of intersection improvements at Remount Rd and West Blvd including sidewalks, curb and gutter, decorative pavers, bus shelters with amenities, pedestrian-scale lighting, crosswalks, curb ramps, pedestrian crossing signalization, and landscaping.

A new infill firehouse will be designed and constructed at 4032 Miranda Road to alleviate high call volumes and meet response time standards in the area. The firehouse will reflect the design of Firehouse #45, a 3-bay, 2-story firehouse programmed for approximately 14,600 square feet. The proposed facility will be located at the corner of Beatties Ford Road. Parcel #03741123 is approximately 6.54 acres. This location and site selection meets the City of Charlotte Policy for Sustainable City Facilities and Charlotte Fire Department Facilities Master Plan.

Wharton-Smith has been awarded CMAR services and is working on prequalifying subcontractors for the project.

The City will issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) to select a vendor to provide leased vehicle services. The Company shall Maintain and make available a fleet of new Vehicles in various categories, given turnover and other requirements as is necessary to maintain confidentiality of CMPD Officers. These vehicles are used primarily by the Vice and Narcotics, and Gang Units in the specialized undercover investigations. Leasing Vehicles enables Police to rapidly switch out a vehicle if it is identified as an undercover car.
