Columbus County Transportation Building Expansion Project

This state and local contract opportunity is for architectural and engineering services to expand and renovate the Columbus County Transportation (CCT) facility in North Carolina. The project involves adding approximately 789 square feet of new space for offices, a bathroom, kitchen, and storage room, as well as relocating a door and making other facility improvements. The Request for Qualifications (RFQ) outlines the required scope of services, submission requirements, qualification evaluation criteria, and general terms and conditions. Interested firms must be licensed in North Carolina and are required to provide details on their understanding of the project, staff resources, relevant experience, schedule abilities, and proposed sub-consultants, if any. The County intends to award the contract in December 2024 and requires the work to be completed in an expedited manner.

The RFQ does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The County is open to utilizing a Project Manager/Construction Manager at Risk to assist the selected architectural/engineering firm. The RFQ does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it provide any information on existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The County will negotiate a lump sum fee and rate schedule with the most qualified firm, but the RFQ does not include any listed award values or budget ranges.
