4. Noland Electrical Switchgear Bid Award
This project will construct a new electrical building at the Paul R. Noland Water Resource
Recovery Facility to house high-voltage electrical switchgear equipment controlling global power
supply to the entire plant. These improvements will help safeguard this critical facility from loss
of power by increasing redundancies, replacing antiquated equipment, simplifying access and
maintainability, and will be compatible with future upgrades.




1
The major electrical equipment has already been procured (Res. 118-25) and is being
manufactured. This gear will be received and installed by the contractor for Bid #26-30. On April
30, 2026 the City of Fayetteville accepted sealed competitive bids for this project. Southern
Brothers Construction, LLC submitted the lowest bid. All bids are shown here:

 Southern Brothers Construction, LLC $1,209,824.00
 Kinco Constructors $1,410,712.00
 Crossland Heavy Contractors, Inc. $1,625,000.00


Staff recommends awarding Bid #26-30 and approving a construction contract with Southern
Brothers Construction, LLC in the amount of $1,209,824.00 for construction of an electrical
switchgear facility at the Paul R. Noland Water Resource Recovery Facility.

STAFF REQUESTS THIS BE FORWARDED TO THE CITY COUNCIL WITH A
RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL

5. Noland Switchgear Amendment with Hawkins-Weir for Construction Observation
The primary electrical feed to the Noland Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF) has been
identified as a concern for reliability of keeping the plant in-power continuously. This is primarily
due to the arrangement of high voltage breakers and the WRRF’s tie-in to both grid-power and
standby generator power. Hawkins-Weir Engineers was selected via RFQ# 24-01, Selection #8
to provide these professional services.

Design and bidding are complete, and the project is ready to move into construction.
Amendment No. 1 will provide necessary funds for Hawkins-Wier to be involved with project
administration, construction observation, engineering oversight, final inspections and system
start-up.

Staff recommends approval of Amendment No. 1 to the engineering services agreement with
Hawkins-Weir Engineers, Inc. for professional services associated with the Noland WRRF
Primary Switchgear Improvements Project in an amount not to exceed $195,220.00.

STAFF REQUESTS THIS BE FORWARDED TO THE CITY COUNCIL WITH A
RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL

6. Change Order 2 with Goins Enterprises, Inc.
In April 2024, the City Council approved a contract with Goins Enterprises, Inc. for the
reconstruction of portions of 24-inch waterlines in southern Fayetteville from 18th Street to South
School Avenue (Res. 112-24).

Due to project costs, deductive alternates were selected after bidding to keep the project scope
within allocated funding. However, as the project neared completion and after reconciliation of
quantities and pay-items the city was able to complete portions of the original project scope via
Change Order No. 1 (approved administratively through contingency funds).

As this additional scope neared completion, several pipe fittings and materials were necessary
to make a completed connection that were beyond the approved funds, including the council
approved contingency. Therefore, Change Order No. 2 is necessary to finalize the project costs
and pay the contractor for final billable quantities.

Staff recommends approval of Change Order 2 to the contract with Goins Enterprises, Inc.
which will increase the contract amount by $5,672.00.
