The North Carolina Department of Public Safety, Division of Emergency Management (NCEM) is requesting bids from prequalified vendors for acquisition and demolition construction services on eight residential properties in Madison County under Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) Project 4827-0037, with bids due September 14, 2026 at 2:00 PM EST. Only vendors approved through prior prequalification processes (19-RFPQ-2327812727-TMM or 19-RFPQ-1653309857-GSX) are eligible.

The scope spans pre-acquisition activities (property appraisals, title searches, homeowner notifications), acquisition services (written purchase offers, closing coordination, document preparation), and demolition services (site preparation, utility disconnection, structure demolition, debris removal, land restoration). Properties are located in Marshall, Madison County, North Carolina. Vendors must price acquisition and demolition separately using a mandated bid pricing workbook; the worksheet prohibits modification of structure, line items, or formulas, with noncompliance grounds for bid rejection. Demolition must be completed within 60 to 90 days of property settlement. Vendors are responsible for all costs, including unforeseen conditions such as asbestos abatement, unknown wells, septic tank removal, and underground storage tanks, which require separate change-order requests.

The initial contract term is one year from the Effective Date, with the State retaining an option to renew for up to one additional one-year term at its sole discretion upon thirty days' notice before expiration. Work must commence within fourteen business days of contract execution. Performance and payment bonds of 100 percent are required after Purchase Order issuance; bid bonds of 5 percent are required for projects exceeding $500,000. Pricing must be firm fixed-price on the provided worksheet.

The contract is federally funded through HMGP and subject to 2 CFR Part 200, FEMA regulations, Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements, and Equal Employment Opportunity provisions. Vendors must demonstrate financial stability through certification, provide at least three customer references for similar work, and register with the North Carolina Secretary of State prior to award.
