North Carolina Department of Adult Corrections

The North Carolina Department of Adult Corrections is seeking sealed proposals for the Granville Correction Institution HVAC Replacement project located in Butner, NC. The procurement involves a single prime contract on a lump sum basis for comprehensive air conditioning installation and mechanical system upgrades. Specific project deliverables include replacing existing hot water and heating/ventilation air handlers with new DX cooling and hot water heating air handlers, installing roof-mounted condensing units and controls, and replacing ductwork inside mechanical rooms with necessary electrical and general construction support. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for August 20, 2025, at 10:00 am at the project site located at 1001 Veazy Road, Butner, NC 27509. Sealed proposals will be received until September 9, 2025, at 2:00 PM, with bidders required to submit a 5% bid bond or cash deposit. General contractors must possess an Unlimited license classification and demonstrate compliance with North Carolina state licensing requirements.

The project includes specific minority business participation requirements, with bidders mandated to complete forms identifying minority business involvement. The procurement allows for both performance and payment bonds at 100% of the contract price, with payment processed at 95% of monthly estimates and final payment contingent upon completion and acceptance of work. While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly detailed, the procurement emphasizes minority business participation. The project designer is Atlantec Engineers (now IMEG), and the project manager is Mark Overby from the Department of Adult Corrections, located in Raleigh, NC. The owner reserves the right to reject any or all bids, indicating potential flexibility in the award process. Though a specific budget range is not provided, the comprehensive nature of the HVAC replacement suggests a significant capital investment for modernizing the institution's mechanical systems.
