ESTC Driving Track Rehabilitation

Central Carolina Community College is seeking engineering firms to provide comprehensive design and construction administrative services for the rehabilitation of the tactical driving track at the Emergency Services Training Center (ESTC) located in Sanford, NC, within Lee County. The project involves full-depth reclamation (FDR) and asphalt resurfacing of approximately 29,600 square yards of runway track, which will be milled and repaved with three inches of asphalt, along with an additional 2,200 square yards requiring more extensive milling and full-depth reclamation. Proposing firms must submit three copies of a Letter of Interest (limited to ten single-sided or five double-sided pages) and three copies of a current Standard Form 254 (SF 254). The solicitation was published on September 3, 2025, with responses due by September 17, 2025, at 2:00 PM ET. The selection committee will evaluate submissions based on specialized expertise, past performance, staff adequacy, current workload, design approach, cost and schedule experience, construction administration capabilities, local proximity, and project completion history. Required deliverables include all State Construction Office submittal requirements, cost estimates, bidding services, construction administration, record drawings in AutoCAD and Revit, and project closeout.

Firms must be properly licensed to practice architecture, engineering, or landscape architecture in North Carolina and provide references to the NC Board of Architecture, Engineers & Surveyors, and Landscape Architects. No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly outlined in the procurement documents. The total project budget is $1,340,922, with funding sourced from the county. While no incumbent vendors were identified, the project requires comprehensive engineering services to rehabilitate the existing tactical driving track infrastructure. The solicitation appears to be an open competition for qualified engineering firms with demonstrated experience in similar infrastructure rehabilitation projects, particularly those with expertise in tactical training facility improvements and asphalt reconstruction. Interested firms should carefully review the full Request for Qualifications document and ensure they meet all specified criteria for submission and professional licensing requirements.
