NC Department of Natural and Cultural Resources

The North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources, Division of Parks and Recreation, is seeking bids for water and sewer improvements at Morrow Mountain State Park located in Stanly County and Alliance Town. The project involves extensive infrastructure upgrades, specifically installing approximately 1,950 linear feet of 4-inch waterline and 4,200 linear feet of 2-inch waterline, connecting to existing park facilities. Key deliverables include disconnecting one existing well and replacing three septic systems at campground loops A & C and the RV dump station. Contractors must possess either a Building Contractor - Unlimited or Public Utilities Contractor - Unlimited license classification to be eligible. A mandatory pre-bid meeting was held on February 4, 2025, and only contractors who attended that meeting are eligible to submit proposals. Sealed proposals are due by 2:00 pm on March 4, 2025, at the Morrow Mountain State Park Office & Visitor Center, with a required bid bond or deposit of 5% of the proposal amount.

The procurement includes specific minority business participation requirements, mandating submission of Minority Business Participation forms (Affidavit A or B). Performance and payment bonds for 100% of the contract price will be required, with payment processing based on 95% of monthly estimates and final payment upon project completion. Bidders can obtain complete project plans for a $150 deposit, which is refundable within 10 days after the bid date if documents are returned in good condition. Project documents can be inspected at Finch & Associates in Raleigh and the Minority Contractors Resource Center in Charlotte. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed in the documentation, the comprehensive infrastructure improvements suggest a significant capital investment for upgrading the park's water and sewer systems. The project represents a targeted infrastructure enhancement aimed at improving utility services and operational capabilities at Morrow Mountain State Park.
