N. C. Department of Natural and Cultural Resources

The North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources, Division of Parks and Recreation, is seeking bids for the Pettigrew State Park Campground and Office Improvements project located in Warren County. The procurement is a General Construction single prime contract with comprehensive site and facility upgrades, including improvements to 10 existing campsites, construction of 5 new RV sites with full hook-ups, and 2 new cabin sites. Additional project deliverables include campground loop road improvements, a new showerhouse, septic system installation, and upgrades to the existing Park office building. Bid alternates are available for additional Park office building improvements and two lakeside camping platforms with boardwalk access and parking. The solicitation requires sealed proposals to be submitted by October 9, 2025, at 11:00am at the Pettigrew State Park office in Creswell, NC, with a mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for September 17, 2025, at 11:00am. Bidders must provide a cash deposit or certified check of 5% of the proposal amount, or a bid bond of 5%, and contractors are required to hold an Unlimited License under North Carolina state laws.

The contract does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must submit a performance bond and payment bond for 100% of the contract price, with payment processed at 95% of monthly estimates and final payment upon project completion and acceptance. The solicitation includes specific preferred brand alternates for door hardware, sanitary yard hydrants, and cabin furniture, suggesting potential vendor specifications. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the project appears to be a significant infrastructure improvement initiative for Pettigrew State Park. Although a precise budget range is not specified in the documentation, the comprehensive nature of the improvements—including campsite expansions, new RV and cabin sites, road improvements, and facility upgrades—indicates a substantial capital investment. The owner reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to waive informalities, providing flexibility in the procurement process.
