The City seeks 10 percent minority business participation and requires bidders to identify minority-owned subcontractors and vendors and submit affidavits documenting good faith efforts to meet this participation goal.

Work must be completed within 180 consecutive calendar days from notice to proceed. Bidders must hold proper building licenses under North Carolina law. Plans and specifications are available through digital download or for a $350 refundable deposit from project architect Oakley Collier Architects.

Bids are requested on a stipulated sum (fixed-price) basis for a single prime general contractor. Bid security of 5 percent in the form of certified check, cash deposit, or bid bond is required. Performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of the contract price are mandatory. Retainage is capped at 10 percent of work value until 50 percent project completion; no further retainage is permitted thereafter if the contractor performs satisfactorily. Liquidated damages are $500 per calendar day for delays beyond the contract completion date.

Written questions are due September 8, 2026 at 5:00 PM, with responses due by September 14, 2026 at 5:00 PM. The City reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to waive informalities.
