Charlotte‐Mecklenburg Storm Water Services (CMSWS) conducts four educational campaigns to raise awareness of the effects of individual behavior on surface water quality, volunteer opportunities to protect local waterways, flood safety, and storm drainage infrastructure throughout the City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County.

• Surface Water Quality Education Campaign – Messages focus on surface water quality, stormwater, watershed awareness and pollution prevention.
• Flood Safety Education Campaign – Messages focus on floodplains, flood risks, flood insurance and storm preparation.
• Volunteer Education Campaign – Messages focus on volunteer opportunities to improve conditions that affect water quality and flooding.
• Storm Drainage Infrastructure Education Campaign – Messages focus on how drainage infrastructure carries rainwater throughout our community, storm drainage improvement projects, and the importance of repairing and replacing infrastructure to support a thriving city.

Each year, CMSWS prepares a strategic plan that summarizes the activities and strategies for the upcoming fiscal year. The selected firm(s) will assist in the development and implementation of this plan.

The City of Charlotte has a Traffic Count Program which collects many different types of data along streets (not interstates) within the City of Charlotte limits. The City gathers intersection count data (vehicles, vehicle classification, pedestrian, and bicyclist) using City-owned cameras and video processing by a third party. Mid-block count data (speed, volume and vehicle classification data) is mainly collected with pneumatic road tubes, and sometimes with video cameras.  The City collects other types of traffic data on an as-needed basis, such as: pedestrian corridor studies, vehicle occupancy studies, gap studies, etc. Generally, the City collects around 300 intersection turning movement counts and 800 mid-block counts a year.

Additionally, the Charlotte Regional Transportation Planning Organization (CRTPO) maintains the MPO Traffic Data Program which functions mainly outside of the City of Charlotte limits. This program provides member jurisdictions with needed traffic data used for the support of transportation planning and research efforts throughout the MPO planning area, which includes all of Iredell and Mecklenburg Counties and a significant portion of Union County.

The City and CRTPO seek to select one or multiple companies to collect and/or process a variety of traffic data and upload it to the City’s traffic and crash software database.

CANCEL – This project changed to a phased project with a different title.  It was advertised last year under a different name.

This project consists of the design and construction of 22,100 linear feet (LF) of 54″”-84″” pipe to upsize the current Mallard Creek Trunk Sewer line.

CANCELLED – This project is on hold (or potentially canceled) with no anticipated date to advertise in the next 18 months.

This project will include the rehabilitation of the Plaza Road and Idlewild Booster Pump Stations. The rehab will include motor control center, soft start drives, station programmable logic controller control panel, pumps, motors, controls valves, suction & discharge piping, generator/transfer switch and necessary building & roof upgrades.

The purpose and 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.

The City of Charlotte is seeking a firm to provide broad community engagement programming and direction to the Vision Zero Task Force and Vision Zero Program. The selected firm is expected to become familiar with the City’s Vision Zero Action Plan and the concepts of Vision Zero to identify ways to leverage messaging across communication modes to reach populations impacted most severely by fatal and serious injury crashes particularly those that are culturally, multilingual, generational and socio-economic diverse.
