Brunswick County Schools in North Carolina is requesting proposals for summer painting services covering the South Group of seven school facilities, with proposals due May 21, 2026 at 2:00 p.m.

The scope encompasses interior and exterior repainting at The Coast High School, Early College High School, South Brunswick High School, South Brunswick Middle School, Southport Elementary, Supply Elementary, and Virginia Williamson Elementary. All paint products must be Sherwin-Williams; the district will supply and pay for paint in four base colors unless otherwise approved. The contractor furnishes all labor, materials, tools, and equipment; applies paint by brush or roller; removes and replaces affixed hardware, light fixtures, and electrical outlet plates; and prepares surfaces including pressure washing exterior surfaces at 3,000 psi, removing loose caulking and putty, and spot priming as needed. All previously painted areas must be repainted. The contractor is responsible for paint delivery or pickup, safe furniture and floor protection, paint can disposal, and surface preparation per manufacturer specifications. Work must begin July 1, 2026 and be completed prior to August 21, 2026; if the deadline cannot be met, the contractor agrees to work evenings and weekends. Contractor must conduct sexual offender registry and criminal background checks on all personnel prior to work commencement and maintain Commercial General Liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence ($2,000,000 aggregate), $1,000,000 automobile liability, and workers compensation at statutory amounts.

Evaluation is weighted as Cost (50%), Timeline (30%), and Experience (20%). Timeline evaluation addresses number of full-time painters, protection methods, disposal procedures, quoting processes, and background check procedures. Experience evaluation requires three references from customers within the past five years for similar projects.
