North Carolina Department of Administration (NC DOA)

The North Carolina Department of Administration is soliciting sealed bids for a fire alarm system upgrade at the North Carolina Department of Revenue building in downtown Raleigh, with bids due August 20, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. and a mandatory pre-bid meeting on August 3, 2026 at 2:00 p.m.

General contractors must hold an Unlimited Building license classification under North Carolina General Statutes Chapter 87, Article 1, or alternatively, single prime contractors on public buildings where general construction does not exceed 25 percent of total construction value may be licensed under plumbing, mechanical, or electrical trades.

The scope spans replacement of fire alarm notification devices throughout the seven-story, 300,000-square-foot NC DOR building. New fire alarm notification appliance circuit panels and devices will be installed in hard and decorative ceilings; existing fire alarm control panels and detection devices remain in place. New systems must be installed before demolition of the old system. Work is performed at the NC DOR building, 401 N. Wilmington Street, Raleigh, North Carolina.

Each proposal requires a cash deposit or certified check equal to five percent of the proposal amount, or a five percent bid bond from a North Carolina-licensed surety. Performance and payment bonds are required for 100 percent of the contract price. Payment is made at 95 percent of monthly estimates with final payment upon completion and acceptance. Bids may not be withdrawn for 30 days following the scheduled closing time.

Complete plans and specifications are available from NV5, Project Administrator Mary Perello, 3300 Regency Parkway, Suite 100, Cary, North Carolina 27518, at Mary.Perello@NV5.com or 919-695-4200.
