NCCIW: Dormitories D, E, F & G Fire Alarm Replacement

1034 Bragg Street, Raleigh, NC 27610

SCO # 26-31866-01A

Bids will be received for a single prime contract. All proposals shall be lump sum.

The existing conventional fire alarm systems in dormitories D, E, F, and G were installed in 1994 and are now obsolete. Because these systems have reached the end of their lifespan, it is recommended that they be entirely replaced with new addressable fire alarm systems. All design and administration will be performed by the Division of Engineering, Construction & Maintenance (DECM).

Sealed proposals will be received up to **2:00 PM on 11/19/2026** and immediately thereafter publicly opened and read. Bids are hand delivered to Door #4, 2020 Yonkers Road, Raleigh, NC, or mailed to 4216 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-4216.

Complete plans, specifications and contract documents may be obtained by those qualified as prime bidders, upon deposit of One Hundred Fifty dollars (**$150.00**) in cash or certified check. The full plan deposit will be returned to those bidders provided all documents are returned in good, usable condition within ten (10) days after the bid date.

General contractors submitting bids on this project must have license classification for Intermediate or Unlimited.

Each proposal shall be accompanied by a cash deposit or a certified check drawn on some bank or trust company, insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, of an amount equal to not less than **five percent (5%)** of the proposal, or in lieu thereof a bidder may offer a bid bond of five percent (5%) of the bid executed by a surety company licensed under the laws of North Carolina.
