The North Carolina Department of Transportation is requesting Letters of Interest and SF-254 forms from design firms for the Durham County Salt Shed replacement project, with submissions due August 24, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. Firms must be properly licensed to practice architecture, engineering, or landscape architecture in North Carolina.

The project involves replacement design of the existing salt shed on Miami Boulevard in Durham, which will serve as the main salt hub for NCDOT Division 5. Submissions must include a Letter of Interest not exceeding ten single-sided pages or five double-sided pages in 8.5" × 11" format, stapled in the upper left-hand corner without binders, tabs, or clips. Three copies must be submitted either by mail to 1525 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1525, or by FedEx/UPS delivery to 1 S. Wilmington Street, Room 406A, Raleigh, NC 27601.

The total project budget is $2.217 million, funded through the General Maintenance Reserve with approval designation OC-25 #202742800027. The selection committee will evaluate responses based on specialized expertise in salt shed design, past performance on similar projects, adequacy of staffing and consultant teams, current workload, proposed design approach, experience managing project costs and schedules, construction administration capabilities, proximity to the project location, and record of successfully completed projects without major legal or technical problems.
