15 <br /> Orange County, NC <br /> Lake Orange Intake Tower Rehabilitation-Replacement <br /> The project will be led by and performed by personnel from Schnabel's Greensboro, NC office, who will <br /> be responsible for overall project and client management, design of the intake tower rehabilitation or <br /> replacement, permitting support, assistance with bidding, and construction phase services. To <br /> complement our in-house capabilities, Schnabel has partnered with local subconsultants to perform <br /> environmental permitting (Three Oaks), and surveying (Pennoni). The subconsultants chosen for this <br /> project provide a team of highly trained and experienced personnel that will allow us to work seamlessly <br /> as one group. As the project progresses and the scope of the intake tower rehabilitation or replacement is <br /> better known, should additional subconsultants be needed (such as for geotechnical drilling from a <br /> barge), Schnabel has a network of local potential subconsultants that can be engaged to get the job <br /> done. <br /> Schnabel understands the concerns with the current intake tower and what is necessary to rehabilitate or <br /> replace it with a new long-term solution that meets regulatory requirements. Schnabel will work with the <br /> County to understand the performance needs of the intake tower so that an economical solution that <br /> meets those needs can be developed. Good communication will result in fine tuning the way we perform <br /> our services to your needs, thus improving the quality of deliverables that we provide to the Orange <br /> County. <br /> It is our understanding that the intake tower construction work will be done with an at least partially full <br /> reservoir, Schnabel has extensive experience with developing control of water plans and the design of <br /> temporary cofferdams to manage construction risks while keeping the benefits of a partially full reservoir. <br /> Leveraging our team's collective experience and knowledge will allow us to provide the County with <br /> tremendous value by better understanding the project staff, site protocols and safety standards, and <br /> enhancing schedule deadlines while managing risk and providing long term solutions. <br /> Should you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Samuel Kees, PE at <br /> (336)274-9456 or via email at skees@schnabel-eng.com. Schnabel welcomes the opportunity to meet <br /> with the County to discuss our qualifications, proposed approach and how we can best assist you with <br /> this project. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> SCHNABEL ENGINEERING SOUTH, P.C. <br /> Samuel Kees, PE <br /> Associate <br /> May 7,2024 Page 2 Schnabel Engineering South,P.C. <br />
