Cast Aluminum Lettering and Installation

The City of Jacksonville, North Carolina, located in Orange County, is seeking quotes for a Cast Aluminum Lettering and Installation project at the Lejeune Memorial Gardens. The procurement involves purchasing and installing 22 cast aluminum letters, each 12" in height and width, with 1" width, spelling "LEJEUNE MEMORIAL GARDENS" in all capital letters using Tahoma or Arial font, to be painted white and stud mounted. Quotes are due on August 25, 2022, by 2:00 PM, with submission options including electronic submission through BidNet Direct-North Carolina Purchasing Group or email to Deanna Trebil. Vendors must provide a proof before ordering letters, and the installation must be completed within 30 days of proof confirmation. The Request for Quotes (RFQ) requires vendors to submit separate line items for letters, installation pattern, and installation. Bidders must reference RFQ-Cast Aluminum Lettering and Installation in their communications and may direct questions in writing to Deanna Trebil.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the documentation. Vendors not currently registered with the City must be prepared to submit a Vendor Application and W-9. North Carolina-based vendors will be required to charge 7% sales tax, which will be added to the subtotal. The City of Jacksonville reserves the right to waive informalities, reject any or all bids, and award the project by line item or in a lump sum based on available funding. Quotes must remain valid for 60 days from the bid due date. While no specific budget range is provided, the procurement appears to be for a relatively small-scale project involving custom lettering and installation. The City notes that it is exempt from Federal Excise Tax but not from NC State & County Sales Tax, which must be listed separately on invoices.
