Renovation to Facility at 708 Bell Fork Road

Coastal Carolina Community College is soliciting sealed bids under IFB #90-202627-01 for renovation of the facility at 708 Bell Fork Road in Jacksonville, North Carolina. A mandatory pre-bid site visit is scheduled for October 29, 2026 at 9:00 a.m., and bids are due November 6, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Attendance at the site visit is required for bid consideration.

The project converts the building into a dedicated training facility for the college's Basic Law Enforcement Training (BLET) Program, providing instructional, administrative, and support space. Scope includes low-voltage infrastructure, display and video conduit pathways, wireless access point rough-in, wall outlets and power, supply and installation of a motorized projector lift, front projection wall finishing, demolition of the existing stage and carpeting, new light gauge metal stud walls, ceiling rework, electrical outlet relocation, and new carpet tile. The work is a turn-key operation.

Vendors must be registered with the North Carolina Secretary of State and the state's Electronic Vendor Portal (eVP) before award, with proof due within ten business days of notification. Vendors must comply with E-Verify for employees and maintain insurance coverage based on contract value. No work may be subcontracted without prior written consent. Bids must include completed pricing documentation, a minimum of three customer references from similar projects, and a certification of financial condition. Pricing must reflect total cost, including all handling, transportation, and administrative fees, and invoices are payable only after inspection and acceptance.

Written questions are due October 30, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. Work must begin within thirty business days of the effective date, and award is targeted as of the bid opening date. The college may award to a single vendor or make separate awards by line item, waive minor informalities, and reject any or all bids.

Evaluation prioritizes lowest price meeting specifications, supplemented by vendor experience, financial stability, references, and past performance verification.
