Wayne CC Spruce Building Renovation

Wayne Community College in North Carolina is requesting qualifications for design-build renovation of the 28,280-gross-square-foot Spruce Building on its main campus, with qualifications packages due August 12, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. local time. Firms must be properly licensed in North Carolina for construction services (general contracting, electrical, plumbing, heating, fire sprinkler, and landscape contracting) and design services (architecture, engineering, and landscape architecture).

The scope encompasses interior renovation to support the Business and Computer Technologies Division, including modernization of classrooms, computer laboratories, faculty offices, and student collaboration spaces; upgrades to building finishes, lighting, and instructional technology; and evaluation and upgrade of mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, telecommunications, and technology infrastructure systems, with specific HVAC system upgrades. The building will remain occupied during phased construction to maintain ongoing instructional operations and minimize campus disruptions.

The total project budget is $1 million, funded by State/SCIF Approved OC-25 funds. Project delivery is scheduled for October 2027.

Qualifications packages must not exceed forty single-sided pages or twenty double-sided pages, submitted in one physical copy plus electronic files on a USB flash drive, and must include a Letter of Interest and Standard Form 254. A pre-proposal conference date, time, and location are to be determined. Selection criteria are weighted equally at ten percent each across ten categories: firm profiles and key personnel qualifications, relevant project experience, design-build project delivery experience, cost estimating and schedule adherence examples, geographic area experience, current workload and resource availability, project delivery process description, and certifications. Required certifications include a surety bond letter from an A.M. Best rated "A" or better company dated within thirty days and written certification that design professionals were selected based on qualifications through a qualifications-based selection process. Submissions must be delivered to Wayne Community College, 3000 Wayne Memorial Drive, Goldsboro, NC 27534, via UPS/FedEx or in person at the Dogwood Building Cashiers' Office.
