Unspecified Pond/Dam and Water Quality Improvement Projects

The selected firms will use HEC-HMS, HEC-RAS, SWMM, and/or a hydraulic grade line closed system computer model, or an approved alternative method. All methods will be in accordance with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Design Manual. The City’s then current AutoCAD standards will be used for production of all plans and profiles.

Work will be issued via written Task Orders, which will specify the requirements of the various projects. Multiple Task Orders may be issued for each project. Multiple task orders may be issued at once.  The City of Charlotte reserves the right, upon successful completion of a given Task Order, to issue subsequent Task Orders to the same or a different Company.

The below list provides a general list of the tasks required.  This is not intended to be all-inclusive, nor is it guaranteed that all of the below tasks will be utilized.  A more defined Scope of Work will be developed during negotiation with the selected company.

Hydraulic Modeling and Baseline Capacity Analysis Update for the Capacity Assurance Program

Charlotte Water (CLTWater) is soliciting Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) from qualified engineering firms (ENGINEER) for Hydraulic Modeling and Baseline Capacity Analysis Update Services. These services are to be comprised of hydraulic modeling, and determining new baseline capacities for select sewer basins, for use in the Capacity Assurance Program, as needed, for sewer systems located throughout the Charlotte Water service area. These services will also include studies to evaluate the wastewater collection system sub-basin for existing and future capacity needs. Hydrologic and hydraulic analyses will be performed for designated sewer basins using Charlotte Water’s current Infoworks collection system base model.

RFQ: Design-Builder – CMPD Helicopter Hangar Relocation

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.

Urban Design and Grant Writing

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