The North Carolina Department of Transportation, Division of Highways, is soliciting proposals for office space in Wake County, with a strong preference for locations in Garner, NC, specifically within a two-mile radius of Auburn Knightdale Road and Business Highway 70. This lease solicitation, numbered 92-938, requires facilities to adhere to strict safety and accessibility standards, including the North Carolina State Building Code, the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design, and NFPA-10 for fire equipment. Key technical requirements include proper fire-rated enclosures, emergency egress lighting, smoke detection shutdown for HVAC systems, and compliant handicapped parking and toilet facilities. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the North Carolina eProcurement Electronic Vendor Portal by 4:00 PM ET on November 30, 2026. Evaluation factors for the award include the timeliness of delivery, the condition and maintenance of the space, and the proposer's prior performance. The contract is subject to an Availability of Funds Clause, meaning continuation is dependent on the appropriation of funds. Proposers must certify compliance with state ethics laws and disclose if the property is located in a FEMA-designated flood-prone area. For leases exceeding $150,000 annually, a proposer's meeting will be required following the submission deadline.
