Charlotte Water is requesting proposals from qualified companies interested in providing Professional Engineering Services for the Franklin WTP Electrical Upgrades Project. The delivery method for the Project will be Design-Bid-Build. The initial design contract is anticipated to include detailed design, permitting, and bid phase services. The design contract will be amended later to include construction administration services. Note that CLTWater will provide the selected firm a copy of the “Franklin WTP Electrical Upgrades Preliminary Engineering Report (PER)” (being written by Southeastern Consulting Engineers, Inc.), which will be the basis of detailed design. The PER is currently in development and will be provided before the Notice to Proceed for detailed design.
