Botetourt County is seeking sealed bids from pre-qualified General Contractors for the construction of the Read Mountain Fire Department Expansion & 911 Center project. This procurement opportunity is specifically for contractors who have previously been pre-qualified through Request for Qualifications 24-24808, with a strict prohibition on bids from subcontractors. The project encompasses the expansion and construction of a new fire department facility and 911 emergency response center, located at 43 Eastpark Dr. in Roanoke, VA. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, June 11, 2025, at 11:00 AM at the project site, which is a critical requirement for potential bidders. The solicitation was officially posted on June 6, 2025, with bid submissions due by July 14, 2025, giving potential contractors approximately five weeks to prepare and submit their comprehensive proposals.

The procurement appears to be limited to pre-qualified General Contractors, which suggests a selective bidding process with stringent qualification requirements. While specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise provisions are not explicitly mentioned in the provided documentation, the pre-qualification process implies a rigorous vendor selection methodology. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure that might require integration. The solicitation covers jurisdictions in both Botetourt County and Roanoke City, indicating a potentially complex multi-jurisdictional project scope. Unfortunately, the available information does not specify the exact budget range or potential award value for this fire department and 911 center expansion project. Interested contractors will need to review the full Request for Qualifications document (24-24808) to understand the complete set of requirements and potential project valuation.
