The purpose of Zone 2 Water Replacement Package project is to expand Charlotte Water’s ongoing water replacement program by expediting the replacement of older water mains that are of pipe materials known to have a high likelihood of failure. Through research of main break data, a group of neighborhoods have been identified with a high concentration of these water mains made from these pipe materials. This project will focus on the replacement of the galvanized steel pipe (GSP) and asbestos cement pipe (ACP) within the project area but will consider other mains within the scope areas as well if deemed necessary. For this project, Charlotte Water staff believes the Progressive Design-Build delivery method will be best.
Elevated Water Storage Tanks (Cancelled)
This project consists of constructing two new elevated storage tanks. The first tank will be called the Woodlawn Tank with a size of 3 MG (million gallons). The second tank will be called the Sunset Tank with a size of 2 MG (million gallons). There will be waterline work associated to extend the mainlines to the tank site. The construction site will require grading and clearing in preparation of the tank installation.
Elevated Water Tank Rehabilitation
This project involves the rehabilitation of existing elevated water storage tanks to restore structural integrity and operational efficiency. Associated work includes improvements to nearby waterlines to ensure reliable connectivity to the tanks. Site work may include clearing, grading, and other modifications necessary to support the rehabilitation activities. The goal is to extend the service life of the tanks and maintain consistent water system performance.
Elevated Water Storage Tanks Improvements
This project involves the design and construction administration for the rehabilitation of five separate elevated water storage tanks. Each tank will undergo interior and exterior recoating to extend its service life and improve corrosion resistance. The scope also includes the replacement of outdated ladder systems to enhance safety and compliance. Miscellaneous piping repairs will be completed as needed to restore functionality and improve overall system performance. The project is managed to ensure coordination, quality control, and adherence to regulatory standards throughout design and construction.
North End Around Taxiway Package 2 – Paving and Lighting
The North End Around Taxiway (NEAT) – Package 2 consists of installation of taxiway pavement including necessary subgrade improvements, cement treated aggregate base, and Portland cement concrete at proposed grade; installation of airfield lighting and signage components, including conduits, taxiway edge and centerline lights, guidance signs, and necessary electrical components or facilities; installation of a cul-de-sac end treatment, fencing, and guardrail to existing Marshall Drive, just south of Wilkinson Boulevard and north of the Norfolk Southern railroad; installation of the airfield access road north paralleling Taxiway T, and connection to the remnants of Old Dowd Road and Overlook Access Drive (both closed to public traffic).
Carolina Aviation Museum Sitework
This project consists of site preparation for the future development of the Carolinas Aviation Museum. Specific work includes demolition of existing facilities, earthwork, grading, utility installation, associated asphalt, concrete masonry work, landscaping, and other miscellaneous items.
North End Around Taxiway Grading and Drainage
One of seven remaining bid packages within the North End Around Taxiway Program. This package includes the major grading, drainage, utility, and NAVAIDS relocations required by the NEAT. The modifications to the NAVAIDS include a localizer relocation, modifications to multiple MALSR light stations, new NAVAID shelters and the relocation of an ASOS. These include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) Runway 36C Localizer; (ii) Runway 18C Medium Intensity Approach Light System (MALSR); (iii) Runway 18C Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI). These relocations will require full communication (fiber) connections to the airport fiber system and back-up power.
Backlot Trail
This project will install a 10-foot asphalt path that connects Park South Drive to Park Road. This will include two pedestrian signals.
DeArmon Road Improvements Project
The DeArmon Road Improvements Project is part of the City of Charlotte’s Prosperity Village Comprehensive Neighborhood Improvement Program. The project will complete the infrastructure needs in the neighborhood by providing buffered bicycle lanes, median/turning lane, storm drainage, curb & gutter, sidewalk and a greenway passage beneath DeArmon Road for the future extension of Clark’s Creek Greenway.
