The Town of Apex is seeking a qualified engineering consultant to plan stormwater improvements for its downtown residential area, using prior Town condition-assessment reports as supporting information.
- **Buyer:** Town of Apex, North Carolina — Water Resources Department.
- **Requested work:** Prepare a stormwater Master Plan for an approximately 185-acre downtown residential area bounded by Elm Street, Center Street, Schieffelin Road, and Highway 55/James Street. The Town intends to select one consultant; services may be authorized in phases.
- **Engineering scope:** Review GIS, topography, as-builts, and condition-assessment records; inspect and inventory stormwater assets; model current and anticipated future hydrologic and hydraulic conditions; identify drainage-capacity constraints and flood-prone areas; and recommend a prioritized Capital Improvement Plan with planning-level costs and risk, cost-benefit, and feasibility considerations. Alternatives may include infrastructure upgrades, regional Stormwater Control Measures, and green stormwater infrastructure.
- **Engagement and funding:** Coordinate with Town staff and residents, facilitate public workshops, present findings to Apex Town Council, and identify relevant state and federal resilience or mitigation grant opportunities.
- **Named companies:** **McAdams** performed the referenced stormwater assessments; **VisionNC** assisted with Phase 1 field inspections. No OEMs or products for purchase are identified. The opportunity seeks professional engineering services from North Carolina-licensed firms or consultant teams.
- **Supporting assessment findings:** The attached prior reports describe 17 preliminary projects in Phase 1, 48 proposed projects in Phase 2, and 42 recommended projects in Phase 3. Phase 2 and Phase 3 report estimated construction totals of $7.83 million and $9.981 million, respectively; these are planning estimates for recommended infrastructure work, not the value of this consulting opportunity. The Phase 1 report identifies preliminary costs for its 17 projects. The reports note that their project recommendations are planning-level; the prior assessments did not include hydraulic capacity modeling.
- **Notable requirements:** Respondents must demonstrate applicable North Carolina professional engineering licensure. Final scope, schedule, deliverables, and compensation are to be negotiated; the project schedule is to be proposed by respondents. The referenced RFQ addendum is listed among the materials, but its contents are not available here to confirm any additional requirements.

### Description

The Town of Apex requests Statements of Qualifications from engineering firms or consultant teams licensed to provide professional engineering services in North Carolina to develop a comprehensive stormwater Master Plan for the downtown residential core. Work includes evaluating existing drainage infrastructure, assessing localized flooding vulnerabilities, and identifying projects to mitigate risks and enhance water quality. The anticipated scope includes asset inventory and field investigations, hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, a prioritized Capital Improvement Plan with cost estimates, public engagement, and a grant funding strategy. The Town intends to select one consultant, with final scope, schedule, deliverables, and compensation established during contract negotiations.
