UNC School of the Arts

The University of North Carolina School of the Arts is requesting proposals for design and production services related to building system upgrades—HVAC, boiler, and fire alarm systems—with proposals due July 23, 2026.

The scope encompasses design services, engineering support, and production/installation oversight for mechanical and fire safety system upgrades across UNCSA facilities. The RFP invites site visits and pre-bid meetings to allow prospective vendors to assess existing conditions and project requirements. UNCSA will evaluate proposals on qualifications, experience, project approach, and pricing competitiveness. Contract pricing and term are to be detailed in vendor proposals and will be established based on project milestones and completion requirements for the design and upgrade phases. The project will be funded through the university's capital improvement budget for facility upgrades and infrastructure modernization. Vendors must comply with UNCSA's procurement requirements and applicable North Carolina contracting regulations governing public higher education institutions.
