Notice
to Bidders - The University of Memphis is seeking to build a
detention pond near the Engineering buildings in
the summer of 2025 and would like to invite
initial bid proposals for design and
construction. Three available sites on the
university property are appropriate for the
project. The bid/proposal must include an
analysis of each assigned site with several
alternative designs for the detention pond.
Based on this analysis, one detention pond
design for construction is recommended. All
construction must be completed before August 1,
2025.
- The final packet submitted for bid/proposal is due no later than April 29,
2025 and must include the
following:
- Title Page - Follow the
Report
Guidelines (1 page)
- Table of Contents/List of Figures - Follow the
Report
Guidelines (1 page)
- Introduction - Background, objective, and tasks (limited to 2
pages)
- Methodology - - Discuss developing a detention pond to meet
the design criteria. This section should discuss the following
components: original topographic data (including a north arrow and
street marking on the map); approximating cut-and-fill volume;
approximating the pond volume; and estimating total project cost
(limited to 4 pages).
- Detention Pond Design - This section should have the
following components: a discussion of the proposed detention pond design
and a topographic presentation of the pond design (including a north
arrow and street marking on the map) - (limited to 2 pages).
- Strengths/Weaknesses of Design - (limited to 1 page).
- A copy of your design must be submitted to
Dr.
Charles Camp
- A mandatory poster presentation to The University of Memphis' College of
Engineering's Board of Directors will occur on April 29, 2025, at 1:00 p.m.
