Engineering and Design Services for 39-Acre Laydown Yard and Stormwater Improvements at Utilities Operations Center

Brunswick County is requesting qualifications statements from qualified engineering firms for engineering, design, and surveying services for engineering and design of a new 3.9-acre laydown and storage yard located at the Brunswick County Public Utilities Operations Center (“U.O.C.”). The overall goal of the project is to develop a previously undeveloped area directly adjacent to the U.O.C. The newly developed area will include an access roadway, open storage areas, a stormwater retention pond, and access gates. The surface of the new laydown yard will be constructed with compacted stone with a geotextile underlayment.
Services will include, but not be limited to, professional engineering, design, drafting, consulting, surveying, and geotechnical as required.
The U.O.C. Laydown Yard Project will result in the use of an approximately 3.9-acre outside storage area utilized by Brunswick County Public Utilities. The area will mainly be used for Conex storage, four (4) 12’ x 25’ pipe racks, open storage for grinder tanks, and deliveries. The design should include an access roadway and two (2) automatic gates for entry and exit along with associated fencing. The development of this land will require a Stormwater Control Permit and an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Permit, and any other permits as necessary for which the selected firm will be responsible. The intent is for the surface of the yard to be made of compacted stone. The selected firm is responsible for calculating the section thickness and section material for the site, as well as the volume of the required stormwater retention pond. The selected firm will provide engineering and design services only.
