Ellerbe Tower Replacement and Civil Work

The North Carolina Department of Public Safety (NCDPS) is seeking bids for the Ellerbe Tower Replacement and Civil Work project, which is part of the North Carolina State Highway Patrol's (NCSHP) statewide Voice Interoperability Plan for Emergency Responders (VIPER) communications network. The project scope includes demolishing an existing 340-foot guyed tower and installing a new 380-foot self-support tower, as well as associated equipment and infrastructure at the Ellerbe site in Ellerbe, North Carolina. The contractor will be responsible for providing all labor, materials, transportation, and site work required to complete the project within approximately three months of award. Bid submissions must include information on the vendor's financial stability, HUB participation, references, and background checks. The contract will have an initial one-year term, with the intent to award an Agency Specific Contract. The state reserves the right to make a single award or separate awards, and to waive any minor informalities or technicalities.

The bid opportunity does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed, and the available budget or award value is not provided. The project will require integration with the existing VIPER communications network infrastructure and technology. Interested vendors must attend a mandatory site visit and submit their bids by the due date of August 9, 2024 at 2:00pm ET.
