Rehab Kitchens, Bathrooms. Decks, Plumbing, Other - Calvert Place and Main Street Town Homes

The Housing Authority of the City of Durham is requesting bids on capital construction and renovation work at Calvert Place and Main Street Townhomes in Durham, North Carolina under IFB 26-005, with bids due October 12, 2026 at 3:00 PM ET and a mandatory pre-bid conference on September 21, 2026 at 1:00 PM ET.

Section 3 business preferences are available for qualifying small business concerns. The award will be made on a Best Value basis, evaluating responsiveness, responsibility, qualifications, experience, licensing, and insurance capacity rather than low bid alone.

The scope spans two properties. Calvert Place includes replacement of 175 bathroom vanities and mirrors, 652 kitchen cabinets, 51 kitchen sinks, and 3,390 square feet of kitchen countertops across multiple units (59 kitchen units and 118 bathroom units total, including 17 accessible units); appliance replacement in 17 accessible units; wall repair and painting in affected areas; and exterior work comprising 2,462 square feet of deck replacement, 393 linear feet of handrails, power washing, structural support inspection and repair, and waterproofing. Main Street Townhomes includes the same interior work scope (bathroom vanities, mirrors, kitchen cabinets, sinks, and countertops) with wall repair and painting but excludes exterior deck work.

The contract period is 150 calendar days from Notice to Proceed, with work performed Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM ET. All bids must include a 5% bid bond and successful bidders must provide either 100% performance and payment bonds, separate 50% bonds, 20% cash escrow, or 25% irrevocable letter of credit. Davis-Bacon wage rates apply per Attachment D-6. A mandatory 10% allowance for unforeseen repairs must be included in all bids. Progress payments occur at 30-day intervals with 10% retainage until final completion. General Liability Insurance of $1 million per occurrence (with the Agency named as additional insured), Automobile Liability of $1 million combined single limit, and current Workers' Compensation coverage are required before contract execution. Questions are due September 23, 2026 by 3:00 PM ET. Electronic submissions go to procurement@dha-nc.org.
