Dear Resident:
For more information about this project, please visit
our website at stormwater.charmeck.org and click on
Storm Water Projects drop down menu in the green
bar, then Active Projects and Louise.
Charlotte Mecklenburg Storm Water Services is
expecting the bid phase to restart this fall. The
consultant has resubmitted the construction
documents for final review. During bid phase,
competitive bids are taken from responsible
contractors to perform the work. After City Council
approval, the City awards the construction contract
to the lowest responsible bidder. Bid phase typically
takes six months and construction for this project is
estimated to take two years. Construction will start at
the downstream end of the project at Hawthorne Lane
and CSXT Railroad.
If you have any questions, please contact Project
Manager Danée McGee at dmcgee@charlottenc.gov or
704-336-4102.
