1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Purpose

The Town of Cary is seeking one or more qualified firm(s) with which to contract for the

following services:

• Construction Phase Services

• Post-Construction Phase Services

A detailed scope of services is provided in Section 4 of this solicitation.

Information related to this solicitation, including any addenda, will be posted to the North

Carolina electronic Vendor Portal (eVP) at https://evp.nc.gov/solicitations/.

1.2 Background

The Walnut Creek Pump Station, located at 1100 Buck Jones Rd in Cary, receives flow

from a service area of approximately 1600 acres, including Downtown Cary, Fenton, the

Epic Games property, and South Hills. These areas are currently experiencing strong

growth and redevelopment which will require expansion of the existing pump station.

The Walnut Creek Pump Station was constructed in 1987 as a tri-plex station with a 3500-

gpm firm capacity. When first constructed, the pump station pumped north to the 24-inch

Black Creek interceptor which flows to the North Cary Water Reclamation Facility. A force

main route to the 21-inch Lynn’s Branch interceptor was later utilized to pump south to

the South Cary Water Reclamation Facility. A force main route to the 24-inch Speight

Branch interceptor is currently utilized to pump south to the South Cary Water

Reclamation Facility. The pump station retains the ability to pump to all three force main

routes, for operational flexibility.

As Cary became aware of the concentrated redevelopment interest within the basin, staff

initiated a series of studies to establish the station’s existing condition and identify

recommended station improvements. The following studies have been completed in the

last six years:

• Pump Station Evaluation Report, Kimley-Horn (2020)

o Initial pump station evaluation of the primary force main route only. Results

were used to identify additional required ARV.

• Walnut Creek Pump Station Basin Study, Freese and Nichols (2021)

o Hydraulic model incorporating CommunityViz buildout land uses for the

basin.

• Pump Station Evaluation Report, Kimley-Horn (2022)

o Re-evaluation of the primary force main route post-ARV installation.

o Generation of system curves and evaluation of existing pump station

capacity using each of the three force main routes.

• Walnut Creek Pump Station Preliminary Engineering Report, Kimley-Horn (2023)

o Preliminary engineering report recommending improvements to address

short-term and long-term needs.

Following the 2023 PER, Cary retained Kimley-Horn for the detailed design work for the

pump station rehabilitation. With this effort wrapping up, Cary is interested in services to

provide construction administration and inspection as this project moves to the bid phase.
