Coddle Creek Water Treatment Plant Sedimentation Basin Rehabilitation Project Rebid

The City of Concord is requesting qualifications from engineering consultants to design and manage rehabilitation of three sedimentation basins at Coddle Creek Water Treatment Plant, with qualifications statements due August 26, 2026. The project spans three phases: preliminary engineering (structural and geotechnical evaluation, mechanical alternatives analysis for sludge removal, electrical assessment), design and permitting, and construction administration with resident project representation.

The scope includes structural evaluation and repairs to seal and waterproof the basins, replacement of the chain and flight sludge removal system, and evaluation and upgrade of electrical components. Qualifications statements are limited to 10 pages single-spaced, submitted as one electronic copy on USB in PDF format and one printed copy. Applicants must provide at least four references from work completed within the last ten years, documentation of litigation history and professional liability insurance, a drug-free workplace commitment, and confirmation of compliance with employment opportunity requirements.

Selection criteria weight firm and personnel experience with similar projects, the project manager and team's overall qualifications, the proposed process and work plan, response capability, budget control, and ability to meet deadlines. The City anticipates completing interviews and recommending a top firm to the City Manager by October 1, 2026, with City Council approval required before a notice to proceed is issued. The selected firm will enter into the City's standard service agreement and operate under North Carolina law, with disputes resolved in Cabarrus County. Contract fees will be negotiated with the selected firm following City Manager approval and City Council authorization; no fixed budget or estimated value is stated in the RFQ.
