PURPOSE:
The City of Greensboro Water Resources Department is requesting to enter into a professional services contract with DMP & Associates, Inc. to provide surveying, design and construction administration services for the Lees Chapel Road Feeder Main project.
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of the Lees Chapel Feeder Main is to provide redundancy and improve the capacity of the City's water transmission system to supply water from the Townsend Water Treatment Plant (WTP) to the water distribution system. The existing 36" water main running parallel to Summit Avenue is the only water line that feeds water from Townsend WTP to the distribution system making the proposed Lees Chapel Feeder main essential for the City's distribution system. Having another feed to Townsend WTP will also be valuable in the future because with the proposed Greensboro Outer Loop NCDOT Project U-2525C between Lawndale Drive and US Highway 29, the existing 36" water main in Summit Avenue will have to be relocated.
The project consists on the installation of approximately 14,500 feet of 36-inch water main along Lees Chapel Rd. beginning at the intersection with Brightwood School Rd and extending northeast to Rudd Station Road/Southshore Road. The proposed 36" water main will cross the railroad tracks at Rudd Station Road, cross Southshore Road and continue northeast along Townsend Road. Work under this contract consists of surveying, engineering design, permitting, bid preparation and construction administration services for the construction of the water main feed.
