Site work for a water / sewer project in Waynesville, North Carolina. Completed plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

The Town of Waynesville has been awarded a $1,376,957 Sanitary Sewer and $613,500 Water System Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) for its "South Waynesville Phase II Sanitary Sewer System Improvement Project." $133,390 of the Sanitary Sewer grant budget is dedicated to Grant administration and legal/administrative/easement needs of the project. $72,350 of the Water System Improvement Project is dedicated to Grant Administration and legal/administrative/easements. This project involves the replacement of deteriorated sewer lines and appurtenances for eliminating inflow and infiltration, and the extension of sewer lines at the intersection of Hendrix Street and Sawyer Street and follows Hendrix Street east to the intersection of Hendrix Street and Muse Street. The project also includes Franklin Street to the north and Muse street to the south and ending at the intersection Hendrix Street and Muse Street to the Town limits. (dead end). The project area is located in the former Town of Hazelwood, which was annexed into the Town of Waynesville in 1995. Waynesville's records indicate that this portion of the sewer system is constructed of vitrified clay pipe (VCP), installed in the 1970s. The age and brittle nature of this clay pipe and brick manholes has allowed excessive infiltration and inflow (I/I) into the sewer collection system which has contributed to flow and effluent quality violations at the Town's wastewater treatment plant. This project must be completed within a 3-year timeframe and must comply with all applicable state, local, and federal requirements. Additionally, the project must be administered in compliance with the CDBG program guidance and requirements. Payment terms will be negotiated with the selected firm. The Town is advertising for both an RFQ seeking qualified applicants who can provide the engineering, bid package, and inspection services for the implementation of the sanitary sewer improvement project, and for an RFP seeking qualified applicants to assist with CDBG grant administration. If responding to both, please submit an individual proposal for each, meeting the requirements of the RFQ and the RFP. The project involves the upgrade and replacement of a portion of the existing sanitary sewer system in South Waynesville. This project will install 2,170 LF of 8" sewer lines and 315 LF of new sewer line extension. Installation of 9 new gravity sewer manholes, connect to one existing manhole. Reconnection of 42 existing sewer service lines and connection of 5 existing sewer lines. All sewer line replacement and new sewer extension activities will be along Hendrix Street, Franklin Street and Muse Street. The project will serve 42 (93.23 persons) existing sanitary sewer served residences of which 21 (53 persons) are LMI located along Hendrix Street, Franklin Street and Muse Street, totaling 56.85% LMI.
