Addendum 1_Metering of Gravity Sewer.pdf

This Addendum 1 document clarifies requirements for the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) issued by Cape Fear Public Utility Authority (CFPUA) in Wilmington, North Carolina for design and permitting of metering instrumentation in existing gravity sewer systems. The addendum addresses two key questions received during the bidding process: CFPUA has not yet determined the specific type of metering equipment to be used and remains open to various technologies, including ultrasonic equipment or flumes. The Statement of Qualifications submission deadline remains Tuesday, July 21, 2026 at 2:00 PM as originally advertised. Engineering services are required as part of the scope, with selected consultants expected to recommend the most appropriate metering types based on accuracy requirements and site-specific constraints at each location within the three gravity mains at the University of North Carolina Wilmington campus.

The addendum confirms that CFPUA seeks consulting engineering firms with demonstrated experience in metering sewer systems to provide recommendations tailored to each location's unique operational and physical constraints. All other terms and conditions of the original RFQ remain unchanged, including the qualifications-based selection process with four equally weighted evaluation criteria (25% each), aggressive project schedule with firm selection targeted for August 6, 2026, and key milestone dates through final contract documents delivery by January 15, 2027. Insurance requirements, SOQ submission guidelines (PDF format, maximum 25 megabytes, 25 pages or less excluding appendices), and contact information for the Procurement Manager remain as specified in the original solicitation.
