The North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources is requesting sealed bids for the re-bid Town Creek Indian Mound Visitor Center and Exhibits Improvements project in Mt. Gilead, North Carolina, with proposals due August 5, 2026 at 2:00 p.m.

The scope encompasses a 7,644 heated square-foot visitor center with both renovated and new construction areas, including reception and retail, a small auditorium, exhibit areas, staff offices, mechanical and storage rooms, exterior access bathrooms, and covered outdoor areas. Building classification is V-B with A-3 occupancy. Bids are requested on a single prime general contract basis as lump sum amounts. General contractors must hold Building Contractor-Unlimited state licensing. The project site is located at 509 Town Creek Mound Road, Mt. Gilead, NC 27306.

Bidders must complete minority business participation identification forms and submit either Affidavit A or B as required under North Carolina General Statute 143-128.2c; failure to do so is grounds for bid rejection. Electronic plans and specifications are available at no charge through in situ studio (staff@insitustudio.us) and NC eVP McGraw Hill Dodge Corporation plan rooms. Printed copies are available to qualified prime bidders for a $600 cash or certified check deposit, refundable within ten days of the bid date if all documents are returned in good condition.

A five percent bid bond or cash deposit is required with each proposal. The successful bidder must execute the contract within ten days of award and provide performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of the contract price. Payment will be made on 95 percent of monthly estimates with final payment upon completion and acceptance. Bids may not be withdrawn for 60 days after the scheduled closing time. As this is a re-bid, no questions will be answered and no additional addenda will be issued during the bidding period. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting was held on June 25, 2026 at the project site.
