NC Central University

The Richmond Residence Hall Systems Renewal project at North Carolina Central University is a Construction Manager-at-Risk (CMAR) solicitation with a total project budget of 20,000,000.00 dollars. The scope of work focuses on remediating critical building deficiencies to restore usability and code compliance, specifically targeting mold remediation in ductwork and base coves, the replacement of a corroded two-pipe HVAC system with a four-pipe system and dedicated chiller, and the modernization of electrical systems, building automation, and fire alarm and sprinkler components. The project must adhere to Form OC-15/CM General Conditions, the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973, and all applicable North Carolina Building Codes. The selection process involves a Pre-selection Committee that shortlists three to six firms based on factors including workload capacity, project record, owner experience, personnel qualifications, and GMP performance. The chosen CMAR will be required to establish a Guaranteed Maximum Price during the design phase. Pre-construction fees are distributed across the schematic design, design development, and construction document phases, with a final payment upon submission of the GMP package. Awardees must provide performance and payment bonds, comply with campus security and safety requirements, and provide a sworn statement that key personnel are exclusively assigned to the project. Proposals must be submitted in a specific format, not exceeding twenty double-sided pages, and include a qualifications questionnaire and a plan for small business participation.
