NC DMV Building Abatement and Demolition

The City of Raleigh is soliciting bids for the NC DMV Building Abatement and Demolition project, located at 1100 New Bern Avenue in Raleigh, North Carolina. The procurement involves comprehensive asbestos removal and building demolition for two former Division of Motor Vehicles structures: a four-story main building constructed in 1957 and an annex building from 1977. Bidders must be licensed under North Carolina General Statute, Chapter 87, and are required to submit a 5% bid security with their proposal. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, March 25, 2025, at 10:00 AM at the project site, with sealed bids due by 10:00 AM on Thursday, April 10, 2025, at 1027A N. West Street. The scope of work includes removing both friable and nonfriable asbestos-containing materials, implementing proper disposal and work practices, and completely demolishing the specified buildings. Interested contractors must obtain complete bidding documents by contacting Jo Martin at S&ME, Inc. and providing detailed company information including contractor license specifics and intended project role.

The City of Raleigh has established a Minority and Woman-Owned Business Enterprise (MWBE) participation goal, targeting 15% of the contract amount for certified MWBE firms on construction projects exceeding $300,000 or involving $100,000 or more in state funding. Successful bidders will be required to register in the City of Raleigh's online vendor portal before contract award. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed in the documentation, the project involves substantial demolition and hazardous material abatement of two multi-story buildings. The procurement appears open to various contractors meeting licensing requirements, with an emphasis on encouraging diverse business participation. No incumbent vendors are mentioned in the available documentation, and no specific integration requirements with existing infrastructure are noted beyond standard municipal contracting protocols.
