Open-Ended Electrical Engineering Design Services

Rowan-Cabarrus Community College is requesting proposals for open-ended electrical engineering design services on a routine or as-needed basis for small, miscellaneous projects, with proposals due July 9, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. The College intends to contract with up to two firms. The College encourages submissions from HUB-certified firms and will award up to one additional point to HUB-certified proposers, plus one-half point for each HUB-certified subconsultant (maximum two additional points).

Proposing firms must be properly licensed to practice engineering in North Carolina through the NC Board of Examiners for Engineers & Surveyors and must be registered and active with the North Carolina Electronic Vendor Portal prior to submission. The scope covers conceptual design through construction completion for renovation and remodel projects at educational facilities, with emphasis on projects under $300,000.

The contract value is $150,000 annually with no single project fee exceeding $36,000. The base contract term is one year with one possible one-year extension. The total project budget is $150,000, funded through state and/or local and/or private sources.

Evaluation criteria are weighted as follows: expertise in educational and institutional renovation and remodel projects (25%), sustainable and innovative design implementation (20%), mastery of critical design concepts including energy efficiency and North Carolina State Construction Manual compliance (10%), and technical expertise in BIM and project management tools (10%). Proposers must submit electronically in Adobe PDF format to collegeenvironment@rccc.edu with read receipt requested. Questions due date is not specified in the source.
