The scope covers repair or replacement of roofs on eight campus buildings: Main Building, Crutchfield Hall, Hoey Building, Goodwin Center, Hoffmeyer Hall, Service Building, Underhill Gym, and McCord Building. The existing roofs include slate shingles on historic buildings, ballasted TPO, modified bitumen, built-up asphalt, and fully adhered TPO.

The total project budget is $3,990,000, funded by $2,495,000 from SCIF General (2023-2024 Repairs & Renovations Reserves) and $1,495,000 from SCIF General (2024-2025 Repairs & Renovations Reserves). The project is approved under OC-25 number 20253535015.

Submittals require three copies of a Letter of Interest and three copies of the current Standard Form 254 (SF 254), mailed to 517 W. Fleming Drive, Morganton, North Carolina 28655.

E-mail and fax submittals will not be accepted.

The State Building Commission will evaluate proposals on ten criteria: specialized expertise in the project type, past performance on similar projects, adequate staffing, current workload, proposed design approach, recent experience with project costs and schedules, construction administration capabilities, proximity to the project location, record of successfully completed projects without major legal or technical problems, and other appropriate factors.
