Wayne CC Spruce Building Renovation

The Wayne Community College Spruce Building Renovation project involves a $1,000,000 interior renovation of a 28,280 gross square-foot facility on the main campus in Goldsboro, North Carolina, to modernize academic spaces for the Business and Computer Technologies Division. The scope includes comprehensive upgrades to classrooms, computer laboratories, faculty offices, student collaboration areas, and support spaces, with renovations focused on finishes, lighting, instructional technology, and critical building systems such as HVAC, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, telecommunications, and IT infrastructure. The building will remain fully occupied during construction, requiring carefully phased work to maintain uninterrupted instructional operations and ensure the safety of students and staff. The project is being delivered under a design-build methodology in accordance with North Carolina General Statutes Article 8 of Chapter 143, mandating qualifications-based selection of design professionals and prohibiting fee-based selection. The deadline for proposals is August 12, 2026, and the target completion date is October 2027. Proposals must be submitted as a single physical package not exceeding 40 single-sided pages or 20 double-sided pages, stapled without binders or tabs, along with a USB flash drive containing electronic copies of the Letter of Interest and Standard Form 254. Submissions must be delivered in person or via courier to the Dogwood Building Cashiers’ Office at the college campus; email, fax, and cloud links are not accepted. Evaluations are based on ten equally weighted factors including the profile and experience of the proposing team, resumes of key personnel, documented success in similar design-build projects, cost estimation and schedule adherence history, understanding of the local context, current workload and resource availability, project delivery methodology, and compliance with bond and QBS certification requirements. A surety letter with an A.M. Best rating of A or better is a mandatory pass/fail criterion. All contractors and design professionals must hold current North Carolina professional licenses, and subcontractor selection must follow either a negotiated approach or the state’s open competitive selection process under Chapter 143. The payment address is the Dogwood Building Cashiers’ Office, and all documents must be submitted in strict adherence to formatting and media specifications with no flexibility for alternative submission methods.
