NC Department of Natural and Cultural Resources

The North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources, specifically the Division of Parks and Recreation, is seeking sealed proposals for a water and sewer improvement project at Morrow Mountain State Park located in Stanly County and Alliance Town. The project involves installing approximately 1,950 linear feet of 4-inch waterline and 4,200 linear feet of 2-inch waterline, connecting to existing park facilities, disconnecting an existing well, and replacing three septic systems in campground loops A & C and the RV dump station. Bidders must possess a Building Contractor - Unlimited or Public Utilities Contractor - Unlimited license classification. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for February 4, 2025, at 2:00 pm at the Morrow Mountain State Park Office & Visitor Center, with sealed proposals due by 2:00 pm on February 18, 2025. Bidders are required to submit a 5% bid deposit via cash, certified check, or bid bond, and complete plans and specifications are available for a $150.00 deposit from Finch & Associates in Raleigh.

The procurement includes specific minority business participation documentation requirements, indicating a focus on promoting diverse contractor involvement. Bidders must provide documentation demonstrating minority business enterprise participation as part of their proposal submission. The project will require a 100% performance bond and payment bond, with payments structured at 95% of monthly estimates and final payment upon project completion. While no specific award value or budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive infrastructure improvements suggest a significant investment in park utility infrastructure. The preferred brand alternate being considered is the Sanitary Yard Hydrant by Woodford, which may provide additional guidance for technical specifications. The project's location in Stanly County and Alliance Town suggests a localized procurement approach with potential preferences for regional or local contractors who can effectively execute the water and sewer improvement work.
