This is a Designer Solicitations document from NC Central University seeking Architectural/Engineering design service agreements for university INFORMAL renovation and construction projects. The Open-End Agreement (OEA) is an annual service contract with a $300,000 budget for projects under $300,000, to be applied on an as-needed basis. NC Central is requesting proposals from duly qualified and licensed professionals across 12 disciplines including Architectural (General and Lab Design), Asbestos Abatement, Civil Engineering, Construction Cost Estimating, Engineering Commissioning, Landscape Design, Materials Testing, MEP Engineering, Roof Waterproofing, Structural Engineering, and Surveying/Utility Location Services. Submissions are limited to 20 pages and must be received by email no later than 4:00 PM on November 10, 2025.

Proposers will be evaluated based on six primary selection criteria: specialized expertise in the project type, past performance on similar projects, adequacy of staff and design team, current workload, recent experiences with project costs and schedules, and construction administration capabilities. The solicitation emphasizes HUB (Historically Underutilized Business) participation, requiring proposers to detail their proposed team structure and previous HUB designer utilization. A critical requirement is that all architectural or engineering service proposers must be licensed in the State of North Carolina. The contact for this solicitation is Jonathan Alles, Project Manager, who can be reached at (919) 530-6895 or jalles@nccu.edu.
