REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR CONSTRUCTION

FOR REVITALIZATION OF TOWN HALL

TOWN OF WILLIAMSTON, NORTH CAROLINA

A. Purpose

The Town of Williamston is seeking a licensed general contractor to provide construction

renovation and repair services for the renovation of part of Town Hall. This project involves

a complete remodel of what is referred to as the “Old Police Department Training Room and

Kitchen” (located in the back of the building facing Smithwick Street). The proposed

floorplan is attached as Attachment A. The project may include subcontractors for certain

activities.

B. Project Background

The Town of Williamston’s Town Hall has been a hallmark of providing community services

since its construction in 1908. The building’s rich history includes housing many different

departments at different times, including police, fire, and the tax collector. Currently, Town

Hall is home to town offices with the police and fire departments in their own, separate

buildings. The Town is looking to reuse the once occupied space. Revitalizing the meeting

spaces in the old police station will provide better opportunities for the community to

convene. This project will allow residents and visitors to enjoy downtown events and

entertainment, as the meeting space will also be a hub for festivals and other community

events. Plans include renovation of a meeting space, hallway, and kitchen as well as

installing a bathroom. Please see Attachment A for proposed floor plans.

This solicitation is issued in accordance with the formal bidding requirements of NCGS 143-

129. Award will be made to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder.

Funding

This project is funded in part by the North Carolina Department of Commerce Rural

Building Reuse Division. The Town of Williamston was awarded a grant in 2025 to

complete the proposed renovations.

C. Scope of work

Scope: Provide all labor, materials, equipment, supervision, and disposal necessary to

complete the renovation in accordance with all applicable codes, including ADA standards,

NC Building Codes and manufacturer installation requirements. Coordinate work with

Owner to maintain safe access to adjacent areas. Protect existing utilities, adjacent finishes,

and occupied spaces from dust, debris, and damage. The work will include, but is not limited

to, demolition of existing infrastructure, electrical work, plumbing and HVAC, flooring, and

painting.

The Old PD Reuse Project will expand on and update the Town Hall while rehabilitating the

meeting spaces in the old Police Department connected to the Town Hall. The Town’s

efforts to rehabilitate the interior of the old Police Department will include rehabilitation of

the department’s meeting room, entryways, and kitchen. The project includes the

modification of the Police Department’s previous evidence storage room into a single-

occupant restroom, which will involve repainting, the removal of several shelving units,

flooring modifications, and the installation of plumbing to the room that did not previously

exist. The restroom will also be connected to the sewer system. The project also includes

the removal and replacement of the flooring in the meeting space and kitchen, repainting

and resurfacing of the walls in the meeting space and kitchen, and other repairs as needed,

such as electrical upgrades to the electrical box in the kitchen space to allow for higher

voltage appliances to be used in the space. The kitchen appliances, cabinets, and

countertops will be added/replaced. This project will also include work to the rear hallway

near the kitchen, including painting and doorway reframing. Installation of ceiling to match

the space to the kitchen and meeting area may also be required. Furthermore, the

doorways in the area will be replaced to provide safety and an improved appearance to the

exterior of the building, including a “storefront” style entrance facing towards Smithwick

Street. The storefront will allow for the existing exterior door to be modified into a fire

escape, and will include appropriate lit “fire exit” signage. Upgrades to the existing doors

will also include leveling to remove height inconsistencies between the doorframes and the

floors. Steps will also be taken to revise the roofing (ceiling) and lighting in the space.

Repairs will need to be made to the roof, and improved structuring will need to be included

to prevent future roof damage, particularly around the lighting systems. Along with this, the

diffusers attached to the current lights should be replaced to allow for the installation of

new lights.

All work shall be performed in accordance with the plans, specifications, and applicable

codes. In the event of conflict, the plans and specifications shall govern. Please see the bid

form (Attachment B) for more specific scope of work and materials. Please attend the pre-

bid meeting to ask questions and for clarification regarding the scope of work.
