Engineering Services - Special Inspections, Construction Materials & Geotechnical Inspections and Testing Services

The City of Raleigh is requesting qualifications for construction materials inspection and testing services, and special inspection services for the GoRaleigh Poole Road Facility Expansion project, with proposals due August 19, 2026.

The scope covers periodic on-call special inspections throughout construction, with provisions for continuous inspection during active phases when necessary to meet schedule and technical requirements. Services include third-party verification of structural elements, mechanical systems, welds, concrete, masonry, and mechanical/electrical installations to ensure compliance with building codes and project specifications. Inspectors will document work, identify deficiencies, and verify contractor compliance with approved plans and specifications. Qualified firms must maintain current certifications and demonstrate experience with similar municipal infrastructure projects.

Place of performance encompasses the GoRaleigh Poole Road Facility Expansion project, located in Wake County, North Carolina. The contract will be awarded based on qualifications submitted through the RFQ process. Pricing will be determined through qualification-based selection, with compensation structured to accommodate both periodic inspection events and extended continuous inspection periods as project conditions warrant. Contract term aligns with the construction timeline for the facility expansion.
