North Carolina Department of Adult Corrections

The North Carolina Department of Adult Corrections is seeking sealed proposals for a security netting installation project at Pamlico Correctional Institution located in Bayboro, NC. The procurement involves a single prime contract for furnishing labor, materials, and equipment to install comprehensive security netting at the correctional facility. Bidders must attend a mandatory pre-bid meeting on Tuesday, June 10 at 10:30 AM at the project site, with failure to attend resulting in automatic disqualification from the procurement. The proposal is due on Tuesday, June 24 at 2 PM, and requires extensive documentation including minority business participation forms, HUB participation records, and compliance with state licensing requirements. Key bidder qualifications include providing at least two references for similar projects, submitting samples of proposed netting and rope border, and demonstrating capability to meet specific installation specifications. Bidders must also submit a 5% bid bond or cash deposit, and will be evaluated based on their technical competence, project understanding, and ability to meet stringent correctional facility security requirements.

The procurement appears to have specific set-aside considerations for minority and historically underutilized businesses (HUB), as evidenced by the required participation forms. Potential respondents must hold appropriate state contracting licenses and provide comprehensive insurance coverage. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the project will involve performance and payment bonds covering 100% of the contract price, with payment structured at 95% of monthly estimates and final payment upon project completion. The North Carolina Department of Adult Corrections reserves the right to reject any or all bids, and submitted proposals will remain valid for 60 days after the scheduled closing time. Electronic plans and specifications are available by request from the designated engineer, and bidders will be required to provide warranty information and demonstrate technical capability for security netting installation in a correctional environment. No incumbent vendor information is provided in the available documentation.
