Department of Health & Human Services

The North Carolina Department of Health & Human Services is seeking sealed proposals for the abatement and demolition of the Steam Plant located at the Cherry Hospital campus in Goldsboro, NC. This single prime contract requires comprehensive services including the removal of asbestos-containing materials within the Steam Plant building and complete demolition of the structure, including its foundations. Sealed proposals will be received on Tuesday, September 30, 2025, until 11:00 a.m., with a mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for Tuesday, September 16, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. in Room 1E102 of the Royster Building. Bidders must submit lump sum proposals and provide a cash deposit or certified check of 5% of the proposal amount, or an equivalent bid bond. Contractors must possess proper licensing as required by North Carolina state laws and demonstrate compliance with general contractor requirements for single prime projects.

The procurement opportunity includes specific requirements for minority business participation, with bidders required to submit either Affidavit A or Affidavit B documenting their commitment to minority business involvement. Successful contractors will be required to obtain a performance and payment bond for 100% of the contract price, with payment structured at 95% of monthly estimates and final payment contingent upon completion and acceptance of work. The owner reserves the right to reject any or all bids and waive informalities, with bid withdrawals prohibited for 30 days after the bid closing time. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the abatement and demolition project suggests a substantial investment in site preparation and removal. Potential bidders should carefully review all documentation and ensure full compliance with North Carolina's contracting regulations and minority business participation guidelines.
