NEW DATE** North Boyd Solid Waste Collection Center

Beaufort County, North Carolina is requesting sealed bids for construction of a new solid waste citizen convenience center, with bids due May 12, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. EST (Bid No. SW-FY26-003). Addendum No. 2, issued April 24, 2026, extended the original bid deadline and moved the question submission deadline to April 30, 2026 at 12:00 p.m.; bidders must acknowledge receipt of the addendum in the bid form or face disqualification.

The scope encompasses site work—erosion control, stripping, clearing and grubbing, excavation and backfill (71,000 cubic yards), concrete retaining walls and pads, asphalt paving (13,720 square yards), stone paving, and chain link fence (4,070 linear feet)—and building structures including a metal building and prefabricated components. The project manual specifies 35 line items with detailed material and dimensional requirements. The contract price is subject to unit price adjustments based on quantities verified by the engineer. Expected project duration is 150 calendar days to substantial completion and 175 calendar days to final completion, with liquidated damages of $1,200 per calendar day assessed for delays beyond substantial completion.

Bid security of five percent of the bid price is required as cash, cashier's check, certified check, or North Carolina–authorized surety bond. The contractor must submit a Qualifications Statement (C-451), proof of North Carolina business authorization, contractor's license number, and lists of proposed subcontractors and suppliers. Performance and payment bonds are required upon award. Progress payments are made at 90 percent of completed work value minus retainage and liquidated damages; upon substantial completion, the contractor receives payment to reach 100 percent of completed work minus 200 percent of the engineer's estimate for remaining punch list items.

A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for April 14, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. via Microsoft Teams (registration required via Luke Griner at lgriner@garrett-moore.com).
