ACC PSTC Burn Building - Site Work Package

Alamance Community College is seeking site work services for a new burn building fire training tower located at 212 Stone Quarry Road in Burlington, North Carolina. The procurement is an informal invitation for bid (IFB) with sealed bids due by 3:00 PM on April 1, 2025, to be submitted to Tom Hartman, AVP of Administrative Services & Facilities. The project encompasses comprehensive site improvements, including demolition of existing pavements, utility considerations, erosion control, and construction of new concrete pavements and access areas for the fire training facility. Contractors must possess either an Unlimited Highway or Unlimited Building general license classification to be eligible. The project requires a 45-day completion timeline from the Notice to Proceed, with specific technical specifications aligned with North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) standards. Evaluation will focus on meeting the technical specifications outlined in the civil engineering drawings, which detail site layout, grading, drainage, and construction requirements for the 0.38-acre project site.

The contract includes a 10% minority business participation goal, with documentation requirements varying based on contract value. Successful bidders must provide a performance and payment bond, though no bid bond is required. Insurance requirements are comprehensive, including worker's compensation, public liability, and property damage coverage. Payments will be processed within 30 consecutive days after Designer/Owner approval, with a retainage policy not exceeding 5% and potential release of additional retainage after 50% project completion. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the project involves site work for a specialized fire training facility, suggesting a moderate-scale infrastructure investment. Contractors will need to demonstrate technical expertise in site preparation, concrete work, utility integration, and compliance with local and state regulatory standards. The procurement appears designed to encourage participation from local and minority-owned businesses while maintaining rigorous technical and professional standards.
