  • Anticipated Posting Date: 2025-03-15
  • Last Updated: 02/24/26
Add to Calendar 2025-03-15 2025-03-15 DC Pad Mounted Disconnect Equipment Purchase

The current Blue Line (BL) Traction Power Substation’s Pad Mounted Disconnect DC Switchgear, (eight (8)), was put into service 16 years ago on November 4, 2007. The Maintenance of Way (MOW) department has exhausted its in-house spare parts for this system, which has become obsolete. The pad-mounted disconnect DC switchgear for the BL is required for a mid-life refresh. MOW is upgrading and refreshing the Pad Mounted Disconnect DC Switchgear equipment for the BL.

Scope:

Vendor will provide nine (9) 2kA pad-mounted DC disconnect switch line-ups at the locations specified in the drawings. All disconnect switch line-ups shall be pre-assembled and include the following components:

Exterior operating handle (for manual operation, pad-lockable in both the open and closed positions)
2kA rated bolted pressure switch
Glastic standoff insulators
Mechanical lugs
500 MCM mechanical lugs
Switch control circuit boards
Copper bus to switches
Limit switch for remote indication
Solenoid interlock
“MAC” switch nameplate with switch serial number and rating
AC Relays

The Pad Mounted Disconnect DC Switchgear is designed for installation on a concrete pad outdoors. It allows for the isolation of a power circuit by physically disconnecting the conductors, functioning as a large, weatherproof switch that can be operated safely without exposing live parts to the environment.

Add to Calendar 2026-02-23 2026-02-23 FY2026 and FY2027 Various Storm Water Services Projects

The following is a general description of the Scopes of Service included in this RFQ. The selected firms will use HEC-HMS, HEC-RAS, and/or a hydraulic grade line closed system computer model, or an approved alternative (SWMM) 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. Task orders may include any of the following:

 

  • Surveying, utility locating, and PACP stormwater asset inspections.
  • Existing and Proposed Conditions Analyses
  • Channel Stabilization and/or Restoration
  • Utility Coordination
  • Easement/Plat Preparation
  • Public Engagement
  • Preliminary and final design
  • Permitting/Encroachments
    (404/401, NCDOT, Railroad Agencies and FEMA Floodplain Development Permitting)
  • Preparation of Construction Documents (Plans, Specifications, and Cost Estimates)
  • Bid and Construction Phase Services
  • Geotechnical and Structural Engineering Services

 

The city anticipates selecting multiple firms to provide these services. These will be drainage area-based storm drainage improvement projects that involve differing land uses within the project areas. Drainage basins may include closed and open systems. The study areas may be on a portion of the watershed or the entire watershed. Task orders may be issued for multiple projects at once. Upon satisfactorily completing a task order, the City may issue additional task orders. Scoping on these projects is anticipated to begin in early 2026.
