Main Campus Roof Replacement Phase 1: Vernon White, Fulford, and Whitley Buildings

The project involves the phased replacement of roofs on key buildings at Pitt Community College's main campus, beginning with Vernon White, Fulford, and Whitley Buildings, with future phases anticipated. The solicitation, issued as RFQ #115C-PCC-007 on August 11, 2025, seeks qualified architectural/engineering firms licensed in North Carolina to provide design, bidding, and construction inspection services within a budget estimated between $500,000 and $1,500,000, with completion targeted for Winter 2026-27. The selection process emphasizes qualifications, including relevant experience, past performance, staffing, design approach, and proximity to the project site, with no explicit weighting or price trade-offs specified. Firms must submit four physical copies of a Letter of Interest and SF-254 (a standard form available via the North Carolina State Building Commission), along with a digital PDF version on CD/DVD/USB, by the September 2, 2025, deadline. The process includes a pre-submittal meeting on August 21, 2025, and all questions must be submitted in writing by August 22, 2025. The RFQ does not incorporate specific federal or state contract clauses or references; instead, it relies on general terms outlined in the solicitation, including strict submission formats, professional licensing, and disclosure of legal or administrative issues within the past five years. The contract will be governed by the terms set forth in the RFQ, with no explicit clauses or references to FAR provisions, and the project funding is provided by Pitt County. The scope of work encompasses design, bidding, and construction oversight, with responsibilities shared between the selected firm and state/local authorities, though detailed inspection and acceptance procedures are not explicitly defined. The project schedule anticipates completion in Winter 2026-27, with performance to occur primarily at the specified campus buildings. Overall, the RFQ emphasizes qualifications, compliance, and clear, organized proposal submissions to facilitate a qualifications-based selection process for this multi-phase roofing upgrade.
