Laundry Upgrades Project at Fire Stations

The City of Winston-Salem is requesting sealed bids on fire station laundry upgrades including washer/dryer replacement, new Gear Wash/Extractor units, and associated interior renovations under IFB IF2793, with proposals due November 10, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for October 21, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. via Microsoft Teams, with attendance and sign-in documentation required for bid consideration.

The scope encompasses replacement and installation of washer/dryer and Gear Wash/Extractor units across multiple Winston-Salem fire stations, together with interior renovations, interior concrete work for floors and appliance pads, plumbing, and electrical installations. Bidders must be properly licensed under Chapter 87 of the North Carolina General Statutes. The awarded contractor must provide 100% Performance and Payment Bonds.

The City intends to award a Phase 1 contract based on available budget with the right to select any combination of bid locations. A Phase 2 contract will be awarded in 2027 to the original Phase 1 low bidder at an inflationary increase on labor and adjusted material costs to complete remaining locations. This two-phase structure creates a renewal opportunity for the initial awardee.

Technical questions are due by 5:00 p.m. on October 29, 2026. Site visits will be scheduled and announced at the pre-bid conference. Sealed proposals must be received at the City/County Purchasing Department, City Hall, 101 North Main Street, Winston-Salem, NC. Bidders should contact Catherine Knisley at catherinek@cityofws.org or 336-747-6939 to obtain bid documents and additional information. The City reserves the right to reject any or all proposals.
