Parking Deck Repairs

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is requesting sealed bids for structural, waterproofing, and operational repairs to parking decks across the campus, with bids due September 8, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. and a pre-bid meeting on August 17 at 10:00 a.m. at the Giles F. Horney Building in Chapel Hill.

The scope encompasses concrete and masonry repairs (spalls, delaminations, cracks), double tee flange and grout pocket repairs, bearing pad replacement, metal cleaning and repainting, barrier cable and railing repairs, bollard repairs, joint and expansion joint sealant replacement, water repellent coating application, restriping, signage installation, curb and concrete painting, and stair landing and riser repairs. The project also includes electrical, fire protection, mechanical, and plumbing work: stormwater piping repairs, sump pump replacement, piping insulation repair, ductless mini-split repairs or replacement, exhaust fan and thermostat testing, wall-mounted electric heater replacement, fire alarm repairs, exit sign repairs, and light fixture repairs.

Bidders must hold proper North Carolina state licensure under General Statutes Chapter 87. A General Contractor license is required unless the public building exception applies (general construction does not exceed 25 percent of total construction value), in which case properly licensed plumbing, mechanical, or electrical contractors may bid as single prime contractors. All proposals must be unit price bids under a single prime contract structure.

A bid deposit equal to five percent of the proposal amount is required as cash, certified check, or bid bond. The successful bidder must execute the contract within ten days of award and provide performance and payment bonds for 100 percent of the contract price. Payment is made on 95 percent of monthly estimates with final payment upon completion and acceptance.

Complete plans and specifications are available for inspection at Kimley-Horn and Associates' Charlotte office and the UNC Plan Room, or digitally through AGC Carolinas and construction plan room services. Physical hardcopies are available for a $350 deposit. No bid may be withdrawn after closing for 30 days.
