North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources

The North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources is seeking bids for building repairs at Roanoke Island Festival Park through a single prime general construction contract. The procurement involves comprehensive renovation and replacement work, including LED light fixture replacement, two exterior entry door replacements, exterior wood decking and steps renovation with treated wood, and restroom renovations in multiple building areas such as the main building interior and exterior, Gift Shop, Museum Lobby, and Theater. Bidders must hold a Building - Unlimited license classification from the General Contractors Licensing Board and submit proposals with a cash deposit or certified check equaling five percent of the bid amount, or a corresponding bid bond. The solicitation requires a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting on January 15, 2026, at 1 Festival Park Drive in Manteo, NC, with bid submissions due by 2:00 pm on January 29, 2026. Complete project specifications are available from Bowman Murray Hemingway Architects for a $100 refundable deposit or free electronic PDF download.

The procurement includes specific minority business participation requirements, mandating bidders complete either Affidavit A or B on the Identification of Minority Business Participation form, with failure to do so potentially resulting in bid rejection. Performance and payment bonds representing 100 percent of the contract price will be required, and payment will be structured at 95 percent of monthly estimates with final payment contingent upon work completion and acceptance. Contractors must be licensed in North Carolina and capable of executing the comprehensive building repair scope. The solicitation allows the owner to reject any or all bids and waive informalities, with bid proposals remaining valid for 60 days after the scheduled closing time. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of repairs suggests a significant capital investment in maintaining and upgrading the Roanoke Island Festival Park facilities.
