PURPOSE:
The City of Greensboro Water Resources Department is requesting to enter into a professional services contract with Borum, Wade and Associates, P.A. to provide surveying, design, and construction administration services for the North Elm Street Water Line Replacement project.
BACKGROUND:
Utility design services are required for the installation of approximately 10,300 linear feet of 12-inch water main along North Elm Street beginning at Brenner Place and running northward to Cornwallis Street. This new 12-inch water line will replace the existing 6-inch water line that now runs along this route. The system evaluation showed that the aged and undersized existing 6-inch cast iron waterline is in need of upgrade. The purpose of the project is to address the exiting issues found on the evaluation, improve maintenance of the system, and to provide additional fire flow capacity for the hospital and downtown areas. The professional services of Borum Wade and Associates, P.A., an on-call consultant, along with John Davenport Engineering, Inc. (a Minority Business Enterprise within the ten-county Metropolitan Statistical Area), will be utilized to provide design services for the installation of the water line. The anticipated MBE utilization for this design services contract is 24% of the total contract amount.
BUDGET IMPACT:
Funding for this project is budgeted in the Water Resources Capital Improvement Fund account 503-7027-01.5410 in the amount of $356,000. A budget adjustment is necessary to use this account.
