East Carolina University

East Carolina University is holding a public meeting on November 3, 2026, at 2:30 p.m. to discuss and approve preferred brand alternates for the Parking Lot RS-12 Resurfacing and Safety Improvements project under North Carolina General Statute GS 133-3. The meeting will take place at East Carolina University, 1001 East 4th Street, Greenville, North Carolina.

The project specifies preferred brand alternates for proprietary components: Rain Bird irrigation system, Leotek Arieta 18 N-Series light fixtures, Commscope ethernet cabling, and Corning fiber optic cabling. Per GS 133-3 regulations, these preferred brands require advance institutional approval in an open meeting and must satisfy performance standards that provide cost savings, maintain or improve system functioning, or both. Written justification for each preferred alternate will be made available to the public.

The East Group is the design firm managing the project. Michelle Clements serves as the primary contact at (252) 758-3746 or michelle.clements@eastgroup.com. Campus inquiries should be directed to weberel25@ecu.edu. This is a public notice filing rather than a competitive solicitation; the meeting is the mechanism for public review and institutional approval of the specified brand selections before procurement proceeds.
