NC Department of Adult Correction

The North Carolina Department of Adult Correction is seeking sealed proposals for the construction of a 1,440 square foot modular medical office at the Gaston Correctional Center located in Dallas, NC. This single prime lump sum procurement involves comprehensive construction services including structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing systems, civil work, utility extensions, security fencing, concrete work, and masonry. Bidders must hold an Unlimited general contractor license classification under North Carolina General Statutes Chapter 87. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for January 8, 2026, at 11:00 AM at the project site, and failure to attend will disqualify potential bidders. Sealed proposals will be received at the NCDAC Central Engineering office at 2020 Yonkers Road, Raleigh, NC until 2:00 PM on January 29, 2026. Complete project specifications are available for inspection through multiple online platforms including isqft.com, dodge.construction.com, bidclerk.com, and minority plan rooms at MMCA in Charlotte, NC. Each proposal must include a bid deposit or bond equal to five percent of the total proposal amount.

The procurement includes specific requirements for minority business participation, with bidders required to complete mandatory minority participation forms, and failure to do so constitutes grounds for bid rejection. No bid may be withdrawn for 60 days after the closing time, and the owner reserves the right to reject any or all bids. The successful bidder will be required to provide performance and payment bonds for 100% of the contract price. Payment will be processed based on 95% of monthly estimates, with final payment contingent upon completion and acceptance of work. While a specific award value is not explicitly stated, bidders must submit a comprehensive proposal that includes detailed cost information. The project appears to have a focus on inclusive procurement, with explicit requirements for minority business involvement and opportunities for diverse contractors to participate in the state and local contracting process.
