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

Cape Fear Public Utility Authority (CFPUA) intends to procure a qualified Design Builder (DB) to provide design and construction services for the installation of two separate 16-inch diameter water main interconnections in the Bayshore area to extend our distribution system and provide safe, reliable drinking water to adjacent, unserved properties and neighborhoods impacted by PFAS. The scope of this project includes the design, permitting, and construction of two separate 16-inch diameter water main interconnections in the Bayshore area to provide public drinking water access to adjacent, unserved properties and neighborhoods that are impacted by PFAS. The general anticipated alignments of both water mains are shown in Exhibit A (attached) and described as follows: One 16-inch diameter water main will extend approximately 2 miles along Market St. and Bayshore Dr. The segment along Market St. will include connections to the existing 16-inch water mains at the intersections of Wendover Ln. (Connection Point A) and Torchwood Blvd. (Connection Point B). This water main will continue along Bayshore Dr. from the Market St. intersection and to Bayfield Dr. to connect to the existing 8-inch water main (Connection Point C). Connection Points are shown in Exhibit A (attached). The other 16-inch diameter water main will be installed along Furtado Drive and connect to the existing 12-inch main along Porter's Neck Rd. and the 8-inch diameter water mains just west of Furtado Dr. See Connection Points D and E in Exhibit A. The selected Design Builder (DB) will form a team with CFPUA and execute preliminary and final comprehensive agreements for design and construction of the aforementioned 16-inch diameter water mains along Market St./Bayshore Dr. and Furtado Dr. for a total project cost not to exceed approved budget amount. The DB will be an integral member of the Project Team, consisting of the DB, representatives from CFPUA, and other consultants required. It will be the responsibility of the DB to integrate the design and construction phases, utilizing skills and knowledge of design and general contracting, to provide design, code analysis, value engineering and constructability reviews, develop schedules; prepare detailed project construction estimates; study labor conditions; and, in any other way deemed necessary, to contribute to the development of the Project during the pre-construction/design phase. Questions pertaining to the selection process should be directed to Procurement Manager at bids@cfpua.org no later than 2:00 PM on November 19, 2024. CFPUA reserves the right to reject any or all SOQ's to waive any informality or irregularity in any SOQ received, and to be the sole judge of the merits of the respective SOQ received.
