WCS - Weldon Middle School Classroom Painting

Weldon City Schools is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) for interior classroom painting services at Weldon Middle School in Halifax County, North Carolina. The procurement seeks sealed proposals from qualified and licensed contractors to paint approximately 35 classrooms totaling 79,448 square feet with 10-foot ceiling heights, including walls, ceilings, and trim using low-VOC, durable, washable finishes suitable for educational environments. The project scope encompasses surface preparation (cleaning, sanding, patching), priming, painting, furniture and fixture protection, cleanup, and material disposal while maintaining minimal disruption to school operations. Qualified contractors must demonstrate at least three years of experience in commercial or institutional painting, possess proper North Carolina licensing and insurance (liability and workers' compensation), and provide three references from similar projects, preferably involving schools or public facilities. Proposals will be evaluated based on completeness and content, experience with similar projects, contractor ability and staff qualifications, and cost, with award made to the proposal deemed most advantageous to the school district. Sealed proposals must be submitted by 4:00 PM EST on Monday, May 18, 2026, with pre-bid meetings available by request. Contractors are responsible for all Halifax County building permits and associated costs, must comply with North Carolina Building Code and all applicable regulations, and must provide a one-year warranty on all labor, materials, equipment, and services.

The RFP does not identify any specific set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, or incumbent vendors. No existing infrastructure or technology integration requirements are noted for this painting project. The procurement document does not provide an explicit budget range or possible award value; however, bidders must submit itemized cost breakdowns for all labor, materials, equipment, and services as part of their sealed proposals. The district reserves the right to reject any and all proposals received. Interested contractors should contact Weldon City Schools to arrange pre-bid meetings and clarify any project specifications prior to the May 18, 2026 submission deadline.
