This is a single prime construction contract with a specific project SCO ID of 24-28826-01A. Bidders must possess a North Carolina Licensing Board for General Contractors license in "BUILDING CONTRACTOR", "INTERMEDIATE", or "UNLIMITED" categories to be eligible. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for September 25, 2025, at 10:30 am at the project site, and attendance is required for bid qualification. Bid documents will be available starting September 17, 2025, and can be obtained via email from the architect or through online plan rooms. Bids are due on October 8, 2025, at 11:00 am and will be publicly opened immediately thereafter. Each proposal must include a certified check or bid bond for 5% of the total bid amount, and the bid cannot be withdrawn for 30 days after the bid closing.

The procurement includes specific requirements for minority business participation, with bidders required to complete a Minority Business Participation form. The successful bidder will be required to provide a 100% performance and payment bond, and payment will be made based on 95% of monthly estimates with 5% retainage. The owner reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to waive informalities. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated in the documentation, the project involves constructing a complete office building, which suggests a significant capital investment. All questions during the bid period must be emailed to the architect, and potential bidders should carefully review the complete bid documentation to ensure compliance with all specified requirements and qualifications.
