Generator Maintenance and Services
The Building Services Division of the General Services Department/Engineering and Project Management is responsible for maintaining a portfolio of approximately 180 buildings, including offices, fire stations, police division offices, and equipment shops, that house various City activities. The City also maintains cultural facilities, including museums and arenas that serve as venues for sports, entertainment, and other events. This service would provide routine preventive maintenance, repair services, and load bank testing (Services) for approximately 120 standby generators, ranging in size from 25 KW to 1500 KW, located at various City facilities (Project). Brand names include CAT, Generac, Kohler, Cummins, and MTU. These generators provide emergency electric service to vital facilities when commercial electric service is not available. The importance of the readiness of these standby generators is imperative to protect the health and wellbeing of residents of the City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County. The City is seeking firms whose combination of experience and expertise will provide professional, timely, and cost-effective services to the City.
Fire Station #41 Expansion
This project involves the construction of an expansion to the existing Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) Station No. 41. The 6400 square foot expansion will include four bays added to the existing structure and associated mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP). The project also consists of the relocation of an existing 50’x60’ sprung structure and up to 12,662 square feet of concrete pavement around the fire station.
Note: The base bid for concrete paving is 7217sf. The 12,662sf is part of an alternate bid.
McAlpine Creek WWMF Nutrient Harvesting
While nutrient harvesting has not yet been implemented by CLTWater at any of its wastewater treatment facilities, CLTWater strives to promote beneficial reuse at the McAlpine Creek WWMF and across its other wastewater treatment facilities. To maximize economies of scale, a nutrient harvesting facility (Facility) at the McAlpine Creek WWMF would create the highest current and future value proposition for CLTWater and the treatment plant network. Currently, primary sludge (PS) and waste activated sludge (WAS) from two of the five wastewater treatment facilities are processed at McAlpine Creek WWMF.
In the future, PS and WAS from four of six wastewater treatment facilities will be processed at the McAlpine Creek WWMF. Dewatering centrate is high strength waste typically recycled within the treatment plant for processing. Implementation of a Facility would allow CLTWater to create a product that can be beneficially reused (i.e., product to be bagged or bulk shipped and sold) and gain some treatment capacity at the McAlpine Creek WWMF. Designing, constructing, and operating the Facility at the McAlpine Creek WWMF is one component of implementing the overall CLTWater nutrient management and biosolids diversification strategy.
New South End Light Rail Station
The Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) will construct a new LRT station along the LYNX Blue Line (South Corridor) approximately mid-way between the East/West Boulevard and New Bern Stations. The new station must operate and communicate as part of the overall Lynx Blue Line. Construction will take place while the Blue Line remains in service.
The City of Charlotte completed a study in 2019 to determine the feasibility of constructing a pedestrian crossing or a new station mid-way between the East/West Boulevard and New Bern Stations. Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) determined a new station would best serve the project area. The study indicated two potential locations for the new station, and a final station site will be determined through this contract.
The new station will be designed to the same standards as the recently constructed LYNX Blue Line Extension (BLE) stations and will have the capacity to serve up to three Light Rail Vehicles (LRVs). Construction and testing must occur with minimal disruption to LYNX Blue Line revenue service.

Cancelled-UPS Equipment Upgrade (Rail-Technology Replacement)
This solicitation will be to select a a firm to perform a power study and start to replace the current commercial level UPS and inverters for all 15 communications cabinet on the Blue Line. The current UPS and inverters for all 15 communications cabinet have a life expectancy of eight years. They are at the end of life and must be replaced to prevent failures that impact the operation of communications to vital Signal and Traction Power operations. Likewise, environmental control/monitoring systems that support the communications houses has reached end of life and must be addressed to continue supporting the critical network equipment in each communications house. FY2019 – request to continue the system upgrade of the Blue Line and complete any outstanding items not covered in FY18.

Shamrock Drive Storm Drainage Improvement Project
This construction project is located near The Plaza and Shamrock Drive and has been identified to address flooding, erosion, and pipe failure in the project area.
Fawnbrook Ln (514) Storm Drainage Improvement Project
The need for this construction project is to improve the storm drainage infrastructure (i.e. pipe systems and culverts) to reduce flooding and to enhance degraded stream reaches to reduce erosion and improve water quality. This project is under review. Location and project details will be provided after the review is complete.
