34-568 : DAC/Division 3/Forsyth County

The North Carolina Department of Administration State Property Office, on behalf of the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction–Division 3, is requesting proposals for a lease of approximately 3,419 net usable square feet of office space within a ten-mile radius of 760 Park Centre Drive in Forsyth County, with proposals due October 30, 2026 at 4:00 PM ET and occupancy required by April 1, 2027. Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBs) are encouraged to submit proposals.

The space must be located in a secure, non-retail, nonresidential environment with limited public traffic and accommodate a judicial division director, CPPO, assistant judicial director, and support staff in HR, fiscal analysis, and ASI positions, plus common areas (conference rooms, kitchenettes, storage, restrooms). Required infrastructure includes a minimum of 70 duplex electrical outlets; HVAC systems maintaining specified temperature and humidity ranges; telecommunications infrastructure; parking for 6 clientele spaces and 5 state vehicle spaces included in the rental rate, with 9 employee spaces desired at no additional charge; and comprehensive maintenance including grounds care and repairs. All proposals must demonstrate compliance with North Carolina Building Code, OSHA standards, and ADA requirements. Proposers must attest that the building is free of asbestos and lead paint throughout the state's tenancy.

The initial lease term is five years with two optional five-year renewal periods. Pricing must be submitted on a per-square-foot annual basis; proposers specify whether utilities, janitorial services, and water/sewer are included or excluded. Rate proposals with uncapped Consumer Price Index or other indeterminable percentage increases are not acceptable during the initial term or renewals. If utilities and janitorial are excluded, the State will apply standard comparison factors ($1.50 utilities, $1.00 janitorial, $0.17 water/sewer per square foot).

Proposals must be submitted electronically through the North Carolina eProcurement Vendor Portal (eVP). A proposer's meeting will be conducted following the October 30 deadline for leases exceeding $150,000 in annual rent, at which time selected proposers must submit lowest price proposals. The State will evaluate all relevant factors including moving costs, prior performance, and timeliness of delivery.
