RFI 92-27-001 Market Research for Modular/Mobile Classroom Structure

Craven Community College has issued a Request for Information (RFI) numbered 92-27-001 to conduct market research for the potential acquisition of a modular or mobile classroom structure to be installed at its Public Safety Training Center in New Bern, North Carolina. The RFI, posted on July 16, 2026, with responses due by August 13, 2026, seeks input from vendors regarding design, delivery, installation, and operational capabilities for a turnkey facility that includes three classrooms of 700–800 square feet each, an office, and at least one unisex restroom. The contractor would be responsible for site preparation, permitting, utility connections, and full installation, with the structure expected to be fully operational within 180 calendar days of project acceptance. The building must comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, the North Carolina Building Code, and state hurricane safety standards, and must feature a dark gray exterior to match existing campus architecture. This RFI is explicitly non-binding and no award will result from it; it serves solely to gather vendor capabilities and market data to inform future procurement decisions. Respondents are required to submit a single PDF document not exceeding 75 pages, organized into seven sections covering company information, technical capabilities, site preparation, regulatory compliance, renderings, delivery timelines, and a rough order of magnitude cost estimate—though no pricing data is required or will be evaluated. No formal contract clauses, evaluation factors, payment details, or certification requirements are included, nor are packaging, marking, or FOB terms specified. All submissions must be emailed to Carlton Banks at [email hidden], and vendors are directed to monitor the North Carolina Electronic Vendor Portal for any addenda. The college has not defined acquisition options such as lease versus purchase, nor have warranty, maintenance, or key personnel requirements been formalized at this stage.
