North Carolina Department of Adult Correction-RE-ADVERTISEMENT

The North Carolina Department of Adult Correction is seeking sealed proposals for a fire alarm replacement project at Marion Correctional Institution located in Marion, NC. This procurement is a re-advertisement for a single prime contract on a lump sum basis, requiring comprehensive labor, materials, and equipment for constructing a complete fire alarm system replacement. Bidders must attend a mandatory pre-bid meeting on December 2, 2025, at 10:00 AM at the facility, with failure to attend resulting in disqualification from bidding. Sealed proposals will be received until 2:00 PM on December 16, 2025, at the Department of Adult Correction's office in Raleigh. Interested contractors must hold an Intermediate or Unlimited license classification from the North Carolina General Contractors Licensing Board, with specific provisions allowing licensed Plumbing, Mechanical, and Electrical trade contractors to bid if general construction does not exceed 25% of total construction value.

The procurement includes specific minority business participation requirements, mandating bidders submit an Identification of Minority Business Participation form with either Affidavit A or B, with incomplete forms potentially resulting in bid rejection. Bidders must provide a bid deposit equal to five percent of the proposal amount, which can be submitted as cash, a certified check, or a bid bond from a North Carolina-licensed surety company. Performance and payment bonds covering 100% of the contract price are required, with payment structured at 95% of monthly estimates and final payment upon project completion and acceptance. Complete project documentation can be obtained upon a $150.00 deposit, refundable if documents are returned in good condition within ten days after the bid date. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, contractors should be prepared to submit comprehensive proposals for a full fire alarm system replacement at the correctional facility.
