1. Project Purpose & Objectives
The City of Monroe is soliciting Statements of Qualifications from experienced
engineering firms to perform a preliminary engineering report for water and
sewer service to the City owned parcel 09180064A. The City is also soliciting
Statements of Qualifications from experienced engineering firms to perform a
detailed engineering design and specifications for a water line extension to
the site.
2. Site and Utility Overview
The City currently owns parcel 09180064A and is marketing the site for
Economic Development purposes. The 74 acre site is part of the North Carolina
Selectsites Readiness Program (SRP). As part of the SRP, the City is eligible for
funding for the preliminary engineering report and water line extension design.
The potential site development has three (3) scenarios that will be used for the
PER and water line design.
Scenario 1: 600,000 sq. ft. facility
Approximate Water Usage = 10,000 gal/day
Approximate Sewer Usage = 10,000 gal/day
Scenario 2: Three (3) 200,000 sq. ft. facilities
Approximate Water Usage = 3,333 gal/day (Each facility)
Approximate Sewer Usage = 3,333 gal/day (Each facility)
Scenario 3: Five (5) 100,000 sq. ft. facilities
Approximate Water Usage = 1,700 gal/day (Each facility)
Approximate Sewer Usage = 1,700 gal/day (Each facility)
3. Preliminary Engineering Report
The selected consultant will:
* Evaluate the current water and sewer infrastructure.
* Evaluate the fire flow needed for the scenarios 1, 2, and 3.
* Evaluate the size, specifications, and services route for scenarios 1, 2,
and 3.
