North Carolina Department of Administration

The North Carolina Department of Administration is requesting sealed bids for HVAC repairs at the Nature Research Center's two skyway bridges located at 121 West Jones Street, Raleigh, North Carolina, with proposals due September 3, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. and a pre-bid meeting and site visit scheduled for August 11, 2026 at the State Construction Office, 301 North Wilmington Street, Suite 450, Raleigh.

The work is to be bid as a single prime contract on a lump sum basis. Single prime contractors must hold a proper General Contractors license classification for unlimited General; however, under North Carolina General Statute 87-1, mechanical contractors may bid and contract directly as the single prime contractor if general construction does not exceed 25% of total construction value.

Complete plans and specifications are available for inspection at multiple locations or may be obtained by qualified prime bidders upon deposit of $250.00, with full deposit refund provided documents are returned in good condition within ten days after the bid date. Electronic files in PDF format are available free of charge from RND Architects, PA. All proposals must be accompanied by a cash deposit or certified check equal to not less than 5% of the proposal amount, or alternatively a bid bond of 5% executed by a North Carolina-licensed surety company. Performance and payment bonds will be required for 100% of the contract price. Payment will be made based on 95% of monthly estimates with final payment upon completion and acceptance of work. No bid may be withdrawn after the scheduled closing time for a period of 60 days. The owner reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to waive informalities.
