This project will deliver a new lift station and force main to convey wastewater flow from the City of Belmont to Charlotte Water’s (CLTWater) Stowe Regional WWRF via CLTWater’s Paw Creek Pump Station. This project will allow the existing Belmont Wastewater Treatment Plant to be decommissioned and eliminate the need for costly improvements at This facility. Due to separate funding sources, the project will be delivered via Design-Bid-Build delivery method through two phases of Design and three separate construction contracts.

This opportunity has been cancelled.

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.  This project is under review.  Location and project details will be provided after review is complete.

The Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) anticipates contracting out the repair of the Little Sugar Creek Bridge scour.

The project will include construction up-fits at the North Yard Facility with intentions of utilizing the area as storage for CATS. The storage yard, also known as the North Yard Annex, will be a secured and monitored area with access control, security lighting, CCTV cameras, fencing, and power supply capable of providing climate control measures to material as needed.

The current Blue Line (BL) Traction Power Substations eight (8) were put in service 16 years ago on November 4th, 2007. The manufacturer of the Traction Power Substations has closed their facility and no longer manufactures Traction Power Substations or the electrical components assembled in-house. MOW has exhausted the in-house spare parts to maintain the system, which is obsolete. An agreement with Utah Transit Authority (UTA) and MOW was arranged for the parts used in their current system to be shipped identical to CATS BL substations (as a stop-gap), which are still in serviceable condition. The first set of the parts was delivered to CATS in April 2023 and will continue until UTA has completed the mid-life overhaul of their Traction Power Substations.

The substations and BL equipment are overdue for the mid-life refresh requirement. The MOW department is focused on upgrading and refreshing the DC Switchgear of the BL substations. The remainder of the equipment can be purchased and replaced as the AC Switchgear, Transformer, and Auxiliary equipment manufacturers are still available or swapped out with an equal piece of equipment or component without necessary modification to the substation.

PROJECT GOALS

MOW’s goal is to rehabilitate the BL Traction Power Substations to extend their useful life and provide increased system integrity and revenue service reliability with upgraded switchgear. Another goal of this project is to upgrade and modernize the substations’ communication capabilities and integrate SCADA points from the substations to the CATS head-end SCADA system, which will mirror the Blue Line Extension Substations so that the two systems operate the same. Secheron Hasler Group is the original equipment manufacturer of the selected DC Switchgear and will be providing the parts. A sole source solicitation waiver will be required.

Charlotte Fire Department plans to build a mass timber all-electric infill 2-story, 3-bay firehouse to manage response volumes in the newly developed River District. The facility will be approximately 14,600 square feet. The building is proposed to be located on Dixie River Road, near the future Catawba Crossing, and the parcel ID number is 14128101, parcel 3. The city is planning to utilize the Progressive Design-Build delivery system, city sustainability guidelines, city building standards, specifications, and past firehouse plans as a guide to meet the needs of the fire department. The city has completed the selection process for an Owner’s Advisor to assist with the procurement selection process for a design-build team.
