NC Department of Pulic Safety

The North Carolina Department of Public Safety is seeking sealed bids from Single Prime Contractors for a hazardous materials abatement project at the Samarcand Training Academy located in Biscoe, NC. The procurement involves comprehensive hazardous materials removal within the 72,697 sq ft Main Building, including asbestos floor tile, mastic, and ceiling tile removal, along with related demolition of casework and utility disconnections. A mandatory pre-bid meeting was held on February 26, 2025, and only contractors who attended are eligible to submit bids, which are due on March 11, 2025, at 2:00 PM in the Administration Building Conference Room in Jackson Springs. The project includes multiple components: a base bid for the main building, Alternate No. 1 for hazardous materials abatement in an adjacent 16,414 sq ft classroom building, Allowance No. 1 for removing 2,500 sq ft of asbestos floor tile and mastic, and Unit Price No. 1 for additional asbestos removal. The contract requires a 90-consecutive calendar day completion timeline, with liquidated damages of $250 per calendar day for delays beyond the specified completion date.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must provide performance and payment bonds covering 100% of the contract amount, demonstrating financial stability and capability. The project will occur in an occupied building, requiring careful coordination with ongoing roof replacement work. While no incumbent vendors are identified, the contractor will be responsible for managing hazardous materials removal and coordinating with the owner's separate contract for asbestos air monitoring and clearance testing. The owner will bear the cost of air monitoring, but the contractor will be financially responsible for any failed tests. Though a specific budget range is not provided, the complexity of the multi-building hazardous materials abatement project suggests a significant investment in remediation and preparation for potential future use of the Samarcand Training Academy facilities.
