The Request for Proposal does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The project scope indicates that permit fees are included for G.W. Carver and D.S. Johnson Elementary but are excluded for Tarboro High School. While a specific budget range is not provided, contractors will be expected to submit comprehensive pricing for the electrical upgrade work at each school location. The contact person for this procurement is Daniel Webb, Emergency Services Coordinator, who can be reached at danielwebb@edgecombeco.com or (252) 641-7806. Interested contractors will need to demonstrate technical capability, electrical infrastructure expertise, and the ability to complete complex electrical upgrade projects in educational facilities within the specified timeline. Although no incumbent vendors are mentioned, successful bidders will need to coordinate closely with the school district and local emergency services to ensure seamless installation of the manual transfer switches and associated electrical infrastructure.
