The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is seeking a design firm for the Memorial Hall Interior Restoration project, specifically targeting auditorium ceiling repair. The procurement is a designer solicitation for architectural services to comprehensively restore Memorial Hall, a historic building originally constructed in 1931. Proposers must be licensed in North Carolina and will be responsible for full design services, including preparation of construction documents, State Construction Office code review, construction administration, and project closeout. The project requires detailed architectural restoration techniques focused on repairing curved and flat plaster ceilings while preserving historic decorative details. Key deliverables include comprehensive architectural plans that address extensive ceiling damage, with specific requirements to match existing materials and maintain the building's historical integrity. The proposal submission deadline is August 21, 2025, with firms required to submit Letters of Interest and SF-330 forms to Andrea Janusz at the UNC Chapel Hill Facilities Planning and Design office located at 103 Airport Drive, Chapel Hill, NC 27599. Lead paint and asbestos testing for the project have been completed with negative results, indicating minimal environmental complications. The project spans Orange County and is associated with Charlotte City jurisdictions, potentially offering opportunities for local or regional design firms. While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly mentioned, the solicitation appears open to qualified design firms with appropriate North Carolina licensing. The total project budget is $1,300,000, which will fund the comprehensive ceiling restoration, including repair of both curved and flat plaster surfaces. Interested firms should carefully review the project's architectural sensitivity and historical preservation requirements, as these will likely be critical evaluation criteria. The advanced planning phase is scheduled for completion in spring 2025, with the restoration project focused on meticulously repairing and maintaining the historic Memorial Hall's interior architectural features.
