Tyrrell Cabinets and Countertops Project

The North Carolina Department of Adult Correction is soliciting bids for the Tyrrell Cabinets and Countertops Project through Invitation for Bid (IFB #52-IFB-1378881678-GAR), which involves comprehensive cabinet and countertop replacement at Tyrrell Prison Work Farm in Columbia, NC. The procurement requires furnishing and installing new gray cabinets with solid wood doors, beige and gray marble countertops, and silver hardware across multiple facility locations including the gate house, central control room, west control room, east control room, employee break room, and various offices. Bidders must provide total project costs encompassing shipping, delivery, handling, administrative fees, and installation, with responsibilities including removal of existing cabinets/countertops and complete cleanup. A mandatory site visit was scheduled for December 13, 2024, at 11:00 AM ET, and bids are due January 7, 2025, at 2:00 PM ET with a public bid opening via Microsoft Teams. Vendor qualifications include manufacturer authorization for product distribution/resale and providing a minimum 12-month warranty, with bidders required to submit documentation verifying financial condition, customer references, and other certifications.

The solicitation includes a Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) participation goal of 10% for first or second-tier subcontractors, indicating a preference for diverse vendor participation. Vendors must comply with specific security protocols, including PREA orientation and daily tool inventory, with the facility managing existing item removal and staff relocation during construction. No specific performance or bid bonds are required for this project. While no incumbent vendor information is provided, the project involves replacing existing infrastructure within a correctional facility setting. Although a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the project—covering multiple rooms and requiring full delivery and installation services—suggests a substantial contract value. Interested vendors must demonstrate capability to work within a secure correctional environment, provide high-quality materials, and meet stringent installation and warranty requirements.
