The North Carolina Department of Information Technology is requesting sealed bids for replacement of three UPS battery strings supporting an 825 kVA UPS system at the NCDIT Eastern Data Center in Raleigh, with proposals due September 15, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. and a pre-bid meeting scheduled for September 2, 2026 at 10:00 a.m.

All proposals must include completed minority business participation forms with either Affidavit A or Affidavit B as applicable; failure to complete these forms results in bid rejection.

The project will be bid as a single prime contract on a lump sum basis. Each bid must be accompanied by a cash deposit or certified check equal to not less than five percent of the proposal amount, or alternatively a five percent bid bond executed by a surety company licensed in North Carolina. Performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of the contract price are required. Payment will be made based on ninety-five percent of monthly estimates with final payment upon completion and acceptance of work. Bids may not be withdrawn for thirty days following the scheduled closing time.

Plans, specifications, and contract documents will be available electronically upon request to cniedermayer@wileywilson.com and will be published through The Blue Book, Dodge Network, Construct Connect, AGC online, NC EVP, and NC HUB. Sealed proposals will be received at 3700 Wake Forest Road, Raleigh, NC 27609, with bids publicly opened and read immediately following the 2:00 p.m. deadline.
