Christopher Shores Drainage Improvements (Phase II)

The Christopher Shores Drainage Improvements (Phase II) project seeks to address chronic flooding issues in the Christopher Shores subdivision, which has been plagued by an outdated and inadequate stormwater system since its construction in 1949. Residential areas currently suffer from repeated street flooding during storm events, with some zones lacking any functional drainage infrastructure. This initiative will install a new, modern stormwater management system engineered to meet current standards, specifically designed to handle runoff from a 10-year storm event, thereby significantly reducing flood risk across the neighborhood. The project is being pursued by the City of Newport News through its Engineering department to ensure long-term resilience and compliance with contemporary stormwater regulations. The solicitation, numbered 27-0173-6256, was posted on July 7, 2026, with responses due by July 31, 2026. It is a state and local government procurement under the Virginia agency and is available through the OpenGov procurement portal. Primary contact for inquiries is Kersha Aerga, Procurement Manager, reachable via email at [email hidden] or phone at [phone hidden], with Natalie Minton serving as the secondary contact for procurement services. The project is located entirely within Newport News, Virginia, and no set-aside provisions or NAICS code are specified, indicating an open bidding process for qualified contractors to deliver the necessary infrastructure upgrades.
