Randolph County School System-Trinity High School Slope Stabilization & Streambank Repair Project

The Randolph County School System has issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for a Construction Manager at Risk for the Trinity High School Slope Stabilization & Streambank Repair Project located in Trinity, NC. The procurement seeks a qualified general contractor to manage a complex environmental remediation effort involving the removal of unpermitted fill material and woody debris from an existing slope and stream, with the primary objective of returning the ground surface to its approximate pre-disturbance elevation and slope. Interested contractors must be licensed in North Carolina and demonstrate extensive project experience, strong references, and technical capabilities for managing environmentally sensitive construction sites. The RFQ was released on April 23, 2025, with responses due by 3:00 pm on July 11, 2025. An optional on-site pre-proposal conference is scheduled for May 22, 2025, and prospective bidders must email the Executive Director of Operations to attend. Evaluation criteria will likely focus on the contractor's qualifications, past performance, and ability to successfully complete the specialized remediation work.

The Randolph County Board of Education is committed to building a diverse supplier network and strongly encourages minority business partnerships and joint ventures, in accordance with Policy Code 9125. Bidders are expected to provide documentation of good faith efforts to include minority businesses in their project approach. The Construction Management Fee for this project is capped at a not-to-exceed 3.0% of the total cost of work, which suggests the project has a defined budget range, though specific total project costs are not explicitly stated in the available documentation. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the project requires a contractor with specialized environmental remediation skills and experience working near stream and vegetated setback areas. The procurement appears to be open to general contractors who can demonstrate technical expertise, environmental compliance capabilities, and a commitment to diverse business partnerships.
