North Carolina Department of Public Safety-RE-BID

The North Carolina Department of Public Safety is requesting bids for a kitchen hood replacement project at Perquimans Juvenile Detention Center in Hertford, North Carolina, with proposals due October 22, 2026 at 3 p.m. Attendance at both a mandatory pre-bid meeting and a mandatory site visit is required; failure to attend either will result in disqualification.

The scope includes replacement of a kitchen grease exhaust hood, rooftop exhaust fan, and rooftop makeup air unit at 125 Jessup Street, Hertford, NC 27944. Work is bid as a single prime contract on a lump-sum basis. General contractors must hold an Unlimited license classification under North Carolina General Statutes Chapter 87, Article 1. However, on this public building project where general construction does not exceed 25% of total construction value, contractors licensed under GS87-Arts 2 and 4 (Plumbing, Mechanical & Electrical) may bid directly as the single prime contractor and subcontract to other properly licensed trades.

Payment is made based on 95% of monthly estimates with final payment upon completion and acceptance of work. No bid bond, performance bond, or payment bond is required. Bids may not be withdrawn for 60 days after the scheduled closing time. HUB documentation is no longer required as of July 10, 2026.

The mandatory pre-bid meeting will be held online via Microsoft Teams on Tuesday, September 29, 2026 at 9 a.m. and Friday, October 2, 2026 at 9 a.m. Interested bidders must email Leigha Jones at Leigha.Jones@rve.com to receive an invitation.
