Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) Services
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 proposed design includes a 12’‐wide concrete shared‐use path along one side of Robinson Church Road, beginning at Plott Road (connects to Robinson Church Road Phase 1 Improvements) and continues to Harrisburg Road. Accommodations for pedestrian / bicycle crossings and minor upgrades at major intersections (Hood Road, the future Eastern Circumferential Roadway and Harrisburg Road) and minor side streets (Alanbrook Road, Ludell Lane, Irwin Road, Fairford Drive, Solares Drive, Jerimoth Drive, Culver Spring Way, Hammond Drive, Atlas Cedar, Deluca Drive, Castle Garden Lane, Williams Gate Lane and Jones Creek Circle) will also be included in the scope. The project team is early in the design phase and plans are currently at a 10% milestone level. The CMAR shall provide input on the design, including side‐of‐street analysis for the shared‐use path and pedestrian / bicycle crossings at all major and minor intersections to identify potential cost savings and schedule efficiencies.
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.
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.

Scope Statement: CFD plans to build a temporary firehouse for the newly developed River District to manage response volumes in the area. The firehouse will be located on Dixie River Road, near the future Catawba Crossing, on parcel number 14128101.
The Phase 1 facility will be (1) triple wide trailer to house the firemen and a pre-engineered building to serve as an apparatus bay to house the fire engine and emergency equipment.
This location and site selection meets the City of Charlotte Policy for Sustainable City Facilities and Charlotte Fire Department Facilities Master Plan.
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 project will provide new sidewalk along Sardis Road North from Sardis Road to westernmost intersection of Rittenhouse Circle and Sardis Road North. Project length = 0.5 miles.
This project will include the following:
6′ Sidewalk
8′ Planting Strips
2′-6″ Curb and Gutter
Street Trees
Concrete Ped Refuge Island (between Kilcullen Dr. and Rittenhouse Circle)
Concrete Bus waiting pads
Retaining Walls
Curb Ramps
Storm Drainage
This project is located on Sharon Road at Eastburn Road. The project proposes a curve realignment adding a left-turn lane from Sharon Road on to Eastburn Road and removing the superelevation.
The purpose of the CMPD Animal Care and Control, Phase 3 Expansion project is primarily to provide additional kennels for dogs and reduce the increasing rate of euthanasia. Secondly, to provide additional space for other animals and improve the efficiencies of operations for the facility. The expansion of the facility will possibly be located at 2700 Toomey Avenue and the parcel is currently 4.67 acres. This is the old location for the Animal Humane Society. We are currently in the advanced planning phase to acquire a schematic design to confirm the estimated construction cost.
The Construction delivery system will be Progressive Design Build. It is also anticipated that the city will acquire an Owner’s Advisor to assist with procurement and additional services during design and construction.
