Artificial Turf Putting Green

North Carolina A&T State University is seeking proposals for a turnkey installation of an artificial turf putting green within the Aggie Dome athletic facility through Request for Quote (RFQ #59-Q6923). The project involves installing approximately 1,200 square feet of professional-grade artificial turf, specifically SYNLAugustine 847 or an approved equivalent, with 18 inches of depth coverage in the infill zone. The procurement requires a comprehensive installation including 10 putting cups and flag assemblies, designed to support the university's men's and women's golf programs and provide year-round training capabilities. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for December 5, 2025, at 10:00 AM at the Aggie Dome in Greensboro, NC, with written questions due by December 9, 2025, at 3:00 PM ET. Vendors must submit quotes by December 15, 2025, at 3:00 PM ET, with an anticipated contract award on December 19, 2025. The contract requires delivery and installation within 40 consecutive calendar days after purchase order receipt, with an expected 6-8 week implementation timeline. Vendors must provide three customer references for the exact equipment model, submit a Certification of Financial Condition, and include completed attachments for pricing and supplemental vendor information.

The RFQ encourages participation from small, minority, women-owned, and physically handicapped contractors, with a specific goal of 10% utilization of diverse firms as subcontractors. Vendors must adhere to HUB (Historically Underutilized Business) supplemental vendor information requirements and may need to complete an Executive Order #50 price-matching request. The procurement requires vendors to provide the manufacturer's standard warranty on turf and materials, plus an additional one-year workmanship warranty from project completion. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the pricing shall constitute the total cost for delivery, assembly, and installation on a Free-On-Board (FOB) Destination basis, with potential allowances for temporary tariff surcharges subject to negotiation. Vendors are advised that late arrivals at the mandatory site visit will disqualify them from quote consideration, emphasizing the importance of strict compliance with all procurement requirements. The project is located in Guilford County, North Carolina, and is specifically designed to enhance the university's athletic training infrastructure by providing a consistent, weather-independent surface for golf training and player development.
