North Carolina Department of Adult Correction

The North Carolina Department of Adult Correction is requesting sealed proposals for fire alarm replacement at Wake Correctional Center, with bids due November 3, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. and a mandatory pre-bid meeting on October 20, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. at the facility; failure to attend disqualifies bidders from participation.

The scope covers furnishing labor, material, and equipment for complete fire alarm replacement at 1000 Rock Quarry Road, Raleigh, North Carolina.

General contractors must hold either Intermediate or Unlimited classification licensing under North Carolina state law.

Each proposal must include a cash deposit or certified check equal to not less than 5% of the bid amount, or alternatively a bid bond of 5% executed by a North Carolina-licensed surety company. The successful bidder must execute the contract within ten days of award and provide a performance bond and payment bond each equal to 100% of the contract price. Payment is made based on 95% of monthly estimates, with final payment upon completion and acceptance of work.

Plan documents and specifications are available for inspection at the Department of Environmental, Compliance and Management office in Raleigh, Associated General Contractors plan rooms, McGraw-Hill Dodge Corporation offices, and Reed Construction Data's Eastern Regional Office. Qualified prime bidders may obtain documents upon deposit of $150.00 in cash or certified check, with full refund upon return of documents in good condition within ten days after the bid date. No bid may be withdrawn after the scheduled closing time for thirty days. The owner reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to waive informalities.
