Pitt CC Main Campus Water Line Improvements

Pitt Community College is seeking qualified firms to assess, design, and construct critical upgrades to its aging main campus water infrastructure, which consists of original water supply lines that lack proper isolation capabilities, resulting in operational inefficiencies and increased risk of service disruption. The project aims to replace these outdated lines with a modern PVC looped system complete with isolation valves to enable independent control of water supply to individual buildings, ensuring improved reliability and maintainability. All work must be scheduled during off-hours to avoid interrupting campus operations, with construction targeted to begin on May 1, 2027, and conclude by August 10, 2027. The total project budget is estimated at $2 million, though the solicitation operates as a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) focused on technical merit rather than price, with no CLIN or cost breakdowns provided. The procurement is administered by Pitt Community College’s Construction Department under solicitation number 115C-PCC-014 and referenced GSA contract DPC 23H1N00100000, with proposals due by August 20, 2026. Applicants must demonstrate specialized expertise in utility system design, including proven experience with similar projects, a qualified and available design team, and strong construction administration capabilities. Firms are required to submit detailed organizational charts identifying key personnel, current licensure from North Carolina’s Boards of Architecture, Engineers & Surveyors, and Landscape Architects, and full disclosure of any legal, administrative, or conflict-of-interest issues within the past five years. Submission requirements include four bound copies of a proposal limited to 20 pages, three copies each of a Letter of Interest and Standard Form 254, and a digital PDF on USB, CD, or DVD—all sealed and delivered by the deadline to the college’s designated addresses in Greenville or Winterville, NC. Evaluation will prioritize technical qualifications, past performance, proximity to the project site, and demonstrated ability to deliver without major legal or technical issues, with the expectation that the award will be made on a trade-off basis rather than lowest-price technically acceptable. No federal contract clauses, payment office details, invoicing system specifications, or COR/COTR designations are provided, indicating this is a state-level procurement managed under institutional protocols and governed by North Carolina licensing and procurement standards.
