The contract involves providing comprehensive design-build services for the expansion of the Harnett County Fleet Maintenance facility, specifically a 40’x80’ pre-engineered metal building addition. The selected firm will be responsible for all aspects of design, including civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, and architectural components, as well as site evaluation, permitting, and construction management. The project value is estimated between $500,000 and $1,500, with the scope emphasizing complete construction documents, cost estimating, and installation of new overhead doors, foundations, and heating systems, all compliant with local codes and standards. The procurement process begins with a non-mandatory pre-submittal conference, and firms are invited to submit Statements of Qualifications by October 23, 2025, to be evaluated based on experience, project approach, team capability, and project management expertise, with the potential for interviews. The solicitation emphasizes adherence to federal and state nondiscrimination policies, equal employment opportunity, and workplace safety requirements, including E-Verify and drug-free workplace policies. While the contract incorporates general legal and regulatory obligations—such as insurance, indemnification, and anti-collusion clauses—specific FAR or federal clauses are not explicitly referenced. The process is structured as a best value trade-off, prioritizing project experience and team capacity over price at this stage, with negotiations to follow with the top-ranked firm. Administrative details specify that all communications and modifications must be made through designated channels, and submittals must conform to prescribed formats, page limits, and submission deadlines, with the final contract to incorporate all legally required terms and conditions.
