UNC Pembroke

The University of North Carolina at Pembroke is seeking a single prime contractor for the Vogue Road Water Line Improvements construction project, which involves furnishing labor, materials, and equipment to complete water line infrastructure upgrades. The procurement is a competitive sealed bid process targeting construction contractors capable of executing comprehensive water line improvements. A pre-bid meeting is scheduled for November 4, 2025, at 10:00 a.m., with sealed proposal bids due on November 20, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. Bids will be received and publicly opened at the Pinchbeck Facilities Building, Room 104, in Pembroke, North Carolina. Bidding documents are available through Duncan Parnell's online bid room for a non-refundable cost, and complete plans and specifications can be inspected in Minority Plan Rooms. The design for this project was completed by VHB, with Wayne Robinson serving as the design firm contact, and interested contractors can obtain additional information directly from the design team or campus contact Matt Greene.

While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly mentioned, the procurement appears to encourage minority contractor participation through listing in minority plan rooms, including United Minority Contractors of North Carolina and the Hispanic Contractors Association of the Carolinas. The solicitation indicates that UNC Pembroke reserves the right to reject any or all bids and waive informalities, suggesting flexibility in the procurement process. No specific contract value, budget range, or incumbent vendor information is provided in the documentation. Bidders can submit proposals via hand delivery or certified mail to either the Pinchbeck Facilities Building or UNC Pembroke's main campus address. Interested contractors should carefully review the complete plans and specifications, which are available from the designer during normal office hours, to fully understand the project scope and requirements.
