University of North Carolina Pembroke

The University of North Carolina at Pembroke is soliciting qualified subcontractors for multiple specialized trade packages associated with the comprehensive renovation of the Business Administration Building on its Pembroke, North Carolina campus. This procurement is being conducted under a Construction Manager at Risk (CM at Risk) delivery method, which allows for concurrent design and construction phases with subcontractor packages being released and competitively bid at strategic intervals throughout the project schedule. Prospective bidders must demonstrate their qualifications and capability to perform the required work according to established qualification criteria and procedures outlined in the Project Qualifications Brochure (PQB). The project's primary objectives include the complete renovation of the Business Administration Building while optimizing construction sequencing and cost management through the phased release of trade packages. The due date for initial responses is May 28, 2026, with the posting date of April 30, 2026, providing prospective bidders with a 28-day window to prepare and submit their qualifications. Specific response dates, site visit schedules, bidders' meetings, and award dates are established within the project timeline to facilitate orderly competition among qualified subcontractors for the identified work packages.

The solicitation documents do not specify particular set-aside designations or restrictions limiting participation to disadvantaged enterprises or specific organizational categories, suggesting that qualification and capability are the primary determining factors for subcontractor selection. Funding for the Business Administration Building Renovation project is provided through the University of North Carolina at Pembroke's institutional budget and capital improvement funds, though the specific budget allocation or award values for individual subcontractor packages are not disclosed in the available project documentation. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the materials provided, and integration with existing infrastructure will be necessary given the renovation nature of the project, though detailed technical specifications and integration requirements would be contained within the complete PQB and related bidding documents. Prospective subcontractors should review the complete Project Qualifications Brochure for comprehensive details regarding specific trade packages, detailed qualification requirements, evaluation criteria, and complete project schedules.
