REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS FOR
PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING REPORT
NORTHERN REGIONAL PUMP STATION AND FORCE MAIN
FOR THE CAPE FEAR PUBLIC UTILITY AUTHORITY
WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA
GENERAL
The Cape Fear Public Utility Authority (CFPUA) is seeking an engineering firm experienced
with sewer planning, modeling, design and estimating of sewer system expansions into unserved
areas. The project is to serve the northern New Hanover County by significantly increasing
sewer conveyance capacity. The project consists of a major regional pump station in the general
vicinity of Kerr Avenue and College Road with a large diameter sewer force main that
discharges at the Northside Wastewater Treatment Plant. This infrastructure is identified as the
Kerr RPS and 21,565 LF of 24-inch sewer force main on the attached sketch entitled “Northern
NHC Sewer Planning to Increase Availability.”
Sewer design experience shall include design and modeling of manifolded connection pressure
force mains. Experience with design of systems that accommodate uncertain growth rates by
phased construction is preferred.
The deliverable will be a Preliminary Engineering Report and the selected firm may not
ultimately design any of the infrastructure indicated in the report. Design and construction
services will be solicited under a new Request for Qualifications. The resulting design and
construction project may be federally funded with time and conditional constraints defined by
American Rescue Plan Act or other legislation.
The preliminary engineering report (PER) will:
1. Evaluate and size the proposed pump station and force main within the context of
current and projected growth rates due to infrastructure investment in Northern
New Hanover County.
2. Provide a recommended location and wet well depth for the pump station to
received gravity flow from nearby unsewered land and total pumping capacity
from existing and future force mains discharging to the pump station.
3. Consideration and recommendations for manifolding existing and future force
mains into a new large diameter force main planned in this project.
4. Consideration and recommendations that promote system resiliency.
5. Wastewater modeling and master planning as necessary.
6. Recommend a preferred alternative to include the force main route and
consideration of incremental build-out construction phasing scenarios.
7. Provide detailed cost estimates for phased and total build-out construction
scenarios.
8. Provide design, permitting and construction durations for each identified phase in
the preferred alternative. Include considerations for design-build delivery
methods.
9. Support due diligence land and easement acquisition activities.
