North Carolina Department of Adult Correction

The North Carolina Department of Adult Correction is soliciting sealed bids for fire alarm system replacement throughout Anson Correctional Institution, with proposals due September 3, 2026 at 2:00 PM, and a mandatory pre-bid meeting on August 20, 2026 at 10:00 AM at the facility in Polkton, North Carolina. Failure to attend the pre-bid meeting disqualifies bidders from proposal submission — a critical gate.

The scope covers complete fire alarm replacement in dormitories and all administrative areas at the 552 Prison Camp Road facility. Bids are accepted on a lump-sum basis for a single prime contract. General contractors must hold proper North Carolina licensing under Chapter 87, Article 1, with classification for Intermediate or Unlimited licenses.

Bidders must submit either a cash deposit or certified check equal to no less than 5% of the proposal amount, or a bid bond in the same amount executed by a North Carolina-licensed surety. Upon award, the successful bidder must execute the contract within ten days and provide performance and payment bonds for 100% of the contract price. Payment is made at 95% of monthly estimates with final payment upon completion and acceptance.

Plans, specifications, and contract documents are available for inspection at the Division of Engineering and Construction Management office, Associated General Contractors offices in Durham and Charlotte, and digital plan rooms. Qualified prime bidders obtain documents by deposit of $150.00 in cash or certified check, fully refunded upon return in good condition within ten days after bid date. No bid may be withdrawn after the scheduled closing time for thirty days. The issuing body reserves the right to reject any or all bids and waive informalities.
