This is a single-prime lump-sum contract.

The scope comprises HVAC repairs at the two skyway bridges located at 121 W Jones Street, Raleigh, NC 27603, as detailed in the contract documents. Plans and specifications are available for inspection at the North Carolina Department of Administration and RND Architects, PA, as well as in local plan rooms. Electronic PDF versions are available free of charge from RND Architects, PA. Hard copies are available to qualified prime bidders upon a $250 refundable deposit.

Each proposal must be accompanied by a cash deposit or certified check equal to 5 percent of the proposal amount, or a bid bond of 5 percent executed by a North Carolina-licensed surety company. The successful bidder will provide performance and payment bonds for 100 percent of the contract price. Payment will be made on 95 percent of monthly estimates, with final payment upon completion and acceptance. Bids may not be withdrawn after the scheduled closing time for 60 days. The pre-bid meeting is scheduled for August 11, 2026 at the State Construction Office, 301 N. Wilmington Street, Suite 450, Raleigh, NC 27601.
