Transportation Technology/STEM Facility (Main Campus) Driving Pad

Southeastern Community College is soliciting proposals for a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) to develop a driving pad for the Transportation Technology/STEM Facility at its Main Campus in North Carolina. The project involves the construction of a 500 ft. x 500 ft. asphalt driving pad, featuring a 250 ft. x 250 ft. concrete section in the northwest portion, designed to support truck driving courses and public safety training, including Basic Law Enforcement Training. Additional infrastructure requirements include perimeter lighting and a viewing pavilion equipped with power, water, and lighting. The total project budget is estimated at 6,405,000 USD, with the construction management fee to be negotiated as a fixed number based on a percentage of the cost of work. The procurement is conducted under North Carolina General Statute 143-64.31, meaning firms will be selected based on demonstrated competence and qualifications without regard to fee. Applicants must hold a valid North Carolina general contractor license and provide a portfolio of three to five comparable projects completed within the last five years, emphasizing experience in heavy-duty paving and institutional campus work. Required submissions include a Letter of Interest, Standard Form 254, and detailed disclosures regarding past contract terminations, litigation, or debarments. Proposals must be submitted via the NC electronic Vendor Portal by November 23, 2026, at 2:00 PM. The selected firm will be responsible for pre-construction coordination, cost estimating, scheduling, and overall construction supervision.
