The Yancey County Schools (YCS) is soliciting qualifications for Design-Build (“DB”) firms for

repairs and renovations at the Stadium for Mountain Heritage High School.

YCS’s primary purpose in using the DB process is to utilize alternative design and construction

services to deliver quality construction in an economical and efficient manner. YCS believes the

DB method will provide a greater return on its investment while also delivering a high quality,

turn-key project that will enhance the opportunities of the students utilizing the stadium.

Design-Builder services will be procured through a qualification-based selection process in

accordance with G.S. §§ 143-128.1, 143-64.31, and G.S. 115C-277. The Board encourages

proposals by historically underutilized businesses (HUBs) in addition to minority- and woman-

owned businesses, pursuant to its policies and as defined in North Carolina law.

YCS shall review the responses and make a short-list of the top three firms and may choose to

interview the representatives of those three firms. A DB firm shall be selected based on the best

value criteria identified in the RFQ. If YCS cannot adequately negotiate a price with the selected

DB firm, YCS may choose another DB firm. YCS reserves the right to reject any or all of the

submitted responses.

To be considered, DB firms must submit Qualifications by hand delivery or Post Office delivery to

be received by the Response Date to:
