About this file

This is Addendum No. 1 to a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) issued by the City of Raleigh for construction material testing and environmental support services related to the Raleigh Convention Center Expansion project. The addendum modifies the original RFQ 274-2026-RCPAC-17 timeline and pre-submittal conference details. An optional pre-submittal conference is scheduled for August 7, 2026, at 3:00 PM EST via Microsoft Teams, with attendance strongly encouraged but not mandatory. The deadline for written questions has been moved to August 11, 2026, at 4:00 PM EST, with anticipated City responses on August 14, 2026. Qualification packages are due August 24, 2026, at 4:00 PM EST, with late proposals not accepted. The evaluation meeting is anticipated for the week of September 7, 2026, and selection announcement is tentative for on or before September 18, 2026. The project anticipates approximately 36 months of construction activity beginning in November 2026, with firms able to respond to either scope individually or both scopes combined.

The procurement is governed by North Carolina General Statute Chapter 143 Article 3D (the Mini-Brooks Act), meaning pricing is not a determining factor in selection. Evaluation criteria are weighted equally at 20% each across five factors: Corporate Background and Experience, Firm Financial Stability, Project Understanding, Project Approach, and Team Firm Experience and Qualifications. Selected firms must maintain Commercial General Liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate, and Professional Liability insurance of $1 million per claim. Proposers must hold appropriate professional licenses and provide three references for similar work performed in the past five to seven years. All work must comply with North Carolina Building Code requirements, ASTM standards, OSHA regulations, and applicable environmental regulations governed by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality. Hourly rate schedules must be submitted in a separate sealed envelope. The City reserves the right to award one or both scopes to single or multiple firms or to make no award if submissions fall outside fiscal constraints or are not in the City's best interest.
