Pitt C. C. Main Campus Security Upgrades #2906

Pitt Community College is seeking qualified architectural and engineering firms through a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to design security upgrades for its main campus in Winterville, North Carolina. The project involves implementing an access card system and new key hardware across five campus locations, with a comprehensive two-phase approach targeting interior doors and ensuring compatibility with an existing Genetec exterior door system. Proposing firms must be licensed to practice architecture, engineering, or landscape architecture in North Carolina and submit four copies of their Letter of Interest and Standard Form 254. The selection committee will evaluate proposals based on specialized expertise, past performance, staff capabilities, workload, design approach, project cost experience, and construction administration abilities. Key dates include a project scope meeting on July 25, 2025, with proposals due on August 7, 2025. The college anticipates initial firm selection in July, with contract negotiations beginning in September, and aims to complete Phase One by Winter 2026 to prepare for potential Phase Two funding.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The project will be funded through county sources with an approved budget of $1,400,000, covering both project phases. No incumbent vendors are mentioned in the documentation. The existing infrastructure includes a Genetec exterior door system, which the new access control solution must integrate with seamlessly. Respondents are required to provide detailed references, project experience, and a comprehensive team organization chart. The college reserves the right to reject any proposals and may conduct interviews with competitive respondents. While the full project budget is set at $1,400,000, the first phase will be funded initially, with potential future funding contingent on the successful completion of Phase One.
