Town of Stantonsburg Town Hall and Municipal Complex Project

The Town of Stantonsburg is seeking a licensed general contractor to complete a comprehensive renovation of its town hall and municipal complex located at 312 S. Main Street. The project involves demolishing and remodeling a 5,700 square foot existing building to consolidate town services under one roof, with specific requirements including creating new town council chambers, administrative spaces, and areas for historical artifacts. Proposals will be evaluated across five key criteria: project understanding (10%), consultant team qualifications (30%), project experience and references (30%), proposed work and timeline (20%), and innovative approaches/cost efficiency (10%). The procurement will utilize a Construction Manager-at-Risk delivery method with a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) contract. Key dates include a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting on December 27, 2024, written questions due by January 2, 2025, and proposal submissions due by January 13, 2025 at 5:00pm EST. The town aims to select a contractor by January 20, 2025, begin work by February 1, 2025, and complete the project by July/August 2025 for September 2025 occupancy.

The procurement includes a 10% minimum goal for minority business participation as mandated by N.C.G.S. 143-128.2, with HUB and disadvantaged contractors receiving a 5% bonus in proposal evaluations. Bidders must submit a bid deposit of at least 5% of the bid amount in the form of a cashier's check, certified check, or bond. The project is funded through two grant appropriations from the NC General Assembly and is estimated to fall below the $500,000 formal bid threshold. Turpentine Design is providing construction administration support, and the architectural and engineering plans were prepared by Turpentine Design and Align Engineering. The comprehensive renovation includes modifications to mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, interior partitions, finishes, accessibility improvements, and code compliance upgrades. The project scope encompasses creating new public lobby spaces, police department areas, restrooms, break rooms, and support areas, with specific requirements for new HVAC systems, power distribution, lighting, fire alarm systems, and plumbing fixtures.
