ADA DNP Bathhouse & Shelter Restroom

Rowan County, North Carolina is soliciting bids from qualified licensed general contractors for a comprehensive construction project at Dan Nicholas Park. The procurement involves constructing three new structures: two campground bathhouses and one picnic shelter restroom, which will require demolishing three existing structures. The project encompasses general construction work including site, civil, structural, plumbing, mechanical, and electrical components for one-story CMU masonry buildings with wood truss roofs, metal roofing, and concrete slabs on grade. Sealed proposals will be received at the Rowan County Administrative Offices until 2:00 PM on February 5, 2026, with a mandatory pre-bid conference scheduled for January 14, 2026, at 10:00 AM at the project site. Contractors must propose substantial completion within 10 months from the date of work commencement, which shall begin within 10 days of contract signing. Each bid must include a certified check or bid bond equal to 5% of the proposal amount, and the contract will be awarded to the lowest total bidder for all three buildings.

The procurement requires specific participation and insurance requirements, including a 10% minority business enterprise participation goal. Contractors and subcontractors must be properly licensed under North Carolina state law and must carry comprehensive general liability insurance with $2,000,000 limits per occurrence. Performance and payment bonds equal to 100% of the contract price are mandatory, and bids must identify major subcontractors for plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and roofing work. The project has different funding sources for each structure, necessitating separate schedules of value, pay applications, and closeouts. Contractors can obtain complete plans and specifications from The Bogle Firm Architecture, PLLC, with a refundable $250 deposit if returned within 10 days after bid receipt. Payment will be processed at 95% of approved monthly estimates until the final 5% is reached, with final payment contingent upon work acceptance. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the complexity of the project involving three separate structures suggests a significant investment in park infrastructure improvements.
