Building A Classroom Renovation Design, Engineering, and Construction Management Services

The Wilson Community College is seeking qualified architectural and engineering firms to provide design, engineering, and construction management services for a renovation project in Building A at their main campus. The scope involves renovating approximately 7,000 square feet of classrooms that previously supported HVAC, Electrical, and Building Construction programs, transforming the space into instructional areas for Paralegal, Criminal Justice, and Interpreting Education programs. The project includes demolishing existing walls, creating six new classrooms and offices, raising the ground floor to match the hallway level, and upgrading plumbing, HVAC, and electrical systems. The total project budget is approximately 5.45 million dollars, funded through county appropriations, with a deadline for submissions set for September 30, 2025. Interested firms must submit three copies of a Letter of Interest and a current SF 254 form, formatted to strict specifications, with no electronic or fax submissions accepted, and deliver them physically to the college’s address. The solicitation emphasizes a qualifications-based selection process without explicit federal or state contract clauses incorporated into the documents. Firms must be licensed in North Carolina and demonstrate relevant expertise, past performance, staffing capacity, and proximity to the project site. The evaluation criteria are primarily qualitative, focusing on project experience, approach, and performance, with no specific weights or ratings provided. The process aims to identify the most qualified firm through a trade-off methodology, with selection based on demonstrated competence rather than price. The contract documents do not specify detailed inspection, acceptance procedures, or line-item pricing, but clearly outline submission requirements, project scope, and evaluation factors to ensure a comprehensive and competitive selection process.
