Perquimans Outpost RFQ Final.pdf

This is a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) issued by Albemarle Regional Health Services, doing business as the Inter-County Public Transportation Authority (ICPTA), for architectural and engineering design services and construction services for the Perquimans Outpost Transit Facility project in Perquimans County, North Carolina. The RFQ was issued on 4/14/2025, with qualifications statements due by 6/13/2025 at 4:00 PM. The project involves constructing a new 3,600 square-foot operations center to increase ICPTA's efficiency in serving transportation needs in the western part of their service area. The facility will include office space, a break room, restrooms, a shop for maintenance, a propane fueling station, and parking for 25 transit vehicles.

ICPTA has secured federal, state, and local funding totaling approximately $4.0 million for the project's design and construction, with funding sources including the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), the State of North Carolina, and local funds from Chowan, Perquimans, Pasquotank, Camden, and Currituck counties. The project will use a Design-Build delivery method to integrate expertise, creativity, and insights from all participants. The agency has set a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goal of 4.31% for the project. The facility will be constructed on an undeveloped tract of land and is designed to have a 40-year useful life, with priorities to be developed by ICPTA during a programming phase.
