River Road Booster Pump Station and Waterline Interconnect Construction

The Cape Fear Public Utility Authority is soliciting bids for the construction of the River Road Booster Pump Station and Waterline Interconnect project in North Carolina. The project involves installing a new booster station on the western side of River Road, just north of Mott Creek, along with a 16-inch water transmission main that will run southward along River Road. This transmission main will connect to an existing water main crossing at Mott Creek, extend past Cathay Road, and terminate at the Halyburton Memorial Parkway to enhance the efficiency of filling the Veterans Park Elevated Tank. The contract is estimated to be valued between two and five million dollars and is designated under NAICS code 336390, indicating a focus on manufacturing and construction of water utility infrastructure. Bids are due by November 18, 2025, with a pre-bid conference scheduled for October 28, 2025. The bidding process requires submission of sealed bids, accompanied by a bid bond or cash deposit equal to 5% of the bid amount, with the successful contractor also providing performance and payment bonds. The advertisement emphasizes adherence to North Carolina statutes, and the authority reserves the right to reject any or all bids. The project aims to improve water transmission efficiency and service reliability within the Cape Fear region, supporting the utility’s infrastructure expansion and operational needs.
