About this file
This is an Addendum #1 to a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) issued by the City of Raleigh Parks Department for design-build services related to the Dix Park Buildings Abatement, Demolition and Stabilization Project. The RFQ seeks qualified firms to provide comprehensive design-build services for evaluating, abating, and stabilizing approximately 20 buildings totaling nearly 500,000 square feet, as well as abating and demolishing approximately 17 buildings spanning 400,000 square feet. Required services encompass architectural and engineering services, project management, construction management, and related technical disciplines including civil/site, environmental/abatement, structural, fire, survey, and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing work. The addendum was issued on January 27, 2026, with proposals due by February 13, 2026, at 5:00 PM EST. A pre-proposal conference was held on January 15, 2026, at 2:00 PM EST at Dix Park Chapel. The City anticipates an evaluation meeting on February 20, 2026, with potential interviews scheduled for the week of March 9, 2026. The project involves phased work with Phase 1 focusing on stabilization and enabling work, followed by subsequent phases for full design and construction.
The addendum clarifies that all hazardous materials abatement work is included within the Design-Builder's contract scope, and the City will entertain lump sum pricing proposals for demolition, abatement, and stabilization work as referenced in the Standard Agreement. Subcontractor and trade partner names are not required at the RFQ submittal stage; only the lead contractor must complete the Reference Questionnaire Form. The selected Design-Builder is responsible for obtaining all permits necessary to complete the work and regulatory reviews with appropriate agencies. The City has a 15 percent Business Engagement Opportunities Program (BEOP) goal for minority and women-owned business enterprises. Funding is provided through the City's annual budget cycle. Proposers must submit hourly rate schedules as a separate sealed PDF document. The Design-Builder may self-perform work, and retainage applies only to construction phases (Phase 2), not Phase 1 services. Complete as-built drawings are not available, and the City will not offer additional site walks or tours prior to selection.
