Lee County Buggy Building Waterproofing and Masonry Restoration, 115 Chatham Street, Sanford, NC

The project involves waterproofing and masonry restoration at the Lee County Buggy Building located at 115 Chatham Street, Sanford, NC. The scope includes replacing through-wall flashing at the southeast corner, demolishing and reconstructing a new concrete sidewalk with waterproofing, a sloped reinforced concrete surface, and pedestrian deck coating. Additionally, masonry repairs such as brick replacement and repointing are specified, along with sealing joints between the sidewalk and rising walls. Bids are due by 3:00 PM on August 27, 2025, with a mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for August 13, 2025. Bidders must submit two complete sealed packages, in person or by mail, labeled appropriately, with no digital submissions accepted. The contract is estimated between $200,000 and $500,000, and all bidders must be properly licensed under North Carolina law, provide bid security of at least 5%, and furnish performance and payment bonds matching the contract amount. The procurement emphasizes compliance with industry-standard AIA forms and local government requirements, including strict bonding, insurance, and licensing standards. It incorporates detailed evaluation criteria, primarily focusing on lowest responsive, responsible bids, with an emphasis on good faith efforts toward minority business participation—requiring bidders to demonstrate at least 50 points based on outreach, subcontracting, and assistance efforts, with failure to meet this threshold resulting in bid rejection. The contract also mandates adherence to non-discrimination policies, conflict of interest disclosures, and certification procedures for minority, disadvantaged, and women-owned businesses, which must be certified through specified agencies. Payment procedures involve monthly applications using AIA forms, with a 45-day review period, and retainage of 5% applies for contracts exceeding $100,000. The work is to be performed at the specified site, with inspections conducted on-site by the Owner and Engineer, and final acceptance contingent upon successful inspection and certification. The contract documents include detailed specifications, drawings, and standard forms, with the project managed under local government procedures rather than federal acquisition regulations.
