Tidewater Research Station Swine Unit Replacement Package B (Re-Bid)

The contract involves the construction of a replacement swine facility at the Tidewater Research Station in Plymouth, North Carolina, under a lump sum, single prime contractor arrangement with an estimated value between 2 million and 5 million dollars. Bids are due by August 28, 2025, with proposals to be submitted as sealed, lump sum offers accompanied by a 5% bid bond or deposit. The project emphasizes compliance with North Carolina licensing statutes, requiring all contractors to hold appropriate licenses, including a general contractor license for unlimited construction. The owner reserves the right to reject any or all bids and waive informalities, with the final award based on the lowest responsible and responsive bid. Payment will be made through progress estimates (95%) and final acceptance, with performance and payment bonds totaling 100% of the contract amount required from the successful bidder. Supporting documentation includes detailed plans, specifications, and forms for minority business participation, which must be submitted with the bid; failure to do so can result in rejection. The contract also mandates submission of affidavits related to minority business involvement, along with licensing certifications. No explicit federal clauses or security requirements are referenced, and there are no specified provisions for packaging, labeling, or military standards. The project schedule and delivery specifics are not detailed beyond the bid submission deadline and completion upon work acceptance. The procurement process is primarily price-driven, with evaluation based on the lowest bid, responsiveness, and responsibility, and the owner retains the right to reject any proposals. Contract administration details such as payment offices, invoicing procedures, or designated officials are not explicitly provided in the available documentation.
