Horne Library Reroofing Project

The state of North Carolina is seeking informal construction bids for the Horne Library Reroofing Project located at South Piedmont Community College in Polkton, NC. The procurement covers a comprehensive roof system replacement for the library, which involves retaining existing insulation and EPDM membrane while mechanically attaching a 1.5-inch isocyanurate insulation layer and installing a 45 mil FiberTite membrane in off-white color. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for Thursday, March 27, 2025, at 10:30am ET at the library entrance, with bids due by 3:00 PM on April 3, 2025. Contractors must possess proper roofing licensing under North Carolina General Statute 87 and provide a comprehensive proposal including base bid pricing and per linear foot costs for walk pads. The project requires a twenty-year watertight warranty from FiberTite and mandates that contractors handle all permit and fee responsibilities, as well as remove all trash and scrap materials. Work will be completed within thirty consecutive calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, restricted to the college's normal work schedule of Monday-Thursday 7:00am-5:00pm ET and Friday 7:00am-3:00pm ET.

The project has established a 10% minority business participation goal and requires contractors to comply with equal opportunity and non-discrimination requirements. Bidders must be prepared to meet these diversity and inclusion standards, which may provide opportunities for disadvantaged business enterprises. Payment will be processed within thirty consecutive days after Designer/Owner's approval of each pay request, with a maximum 5% retainage that will be reduced after 50% project completion. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the reroofing project suggests a substantial investment in infrastructure improvement. The jurisdictions involved include Alleghany County and Raleigh City, indicating potential broader regional implications for this procurement. Contractors interested in responding to this opportunity must carefully review all documentation and ensure compliance with the specified technical requirements, warranty expectations, and operational constraints of the South Piedmont Community College project.
