General contractors are notified that Chapter 87, Article 1, General Statutes of North Carolina,

will be observed in receiving and awarding general contracts. General contractors submitting

bids on this project must have license classification for Building Contractor-Unlimited.

Under GS 87-1, a contractor that superintends or manages construction of any building,

highway, public utility, grading, structure or improvement shall be deemed a “general contractor”

and shall be so licensed. Therefore, a single prime project that involves other trades will require

the single prime contractor to hold a proper General Contractors license.

Each proposal shall be accompanied by a cash deposit or a certified check drawn on some

bank or trust company, insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, of an amount

equal to not less than five percent (5%) of the proposal, or in lieu thereof a bidder may offer a

bid bond of five percent (5%) of the bid executed by a surety company licensed under the laws

of North Carolina to execute the contract in accordance with the bid bond. Said deposit shall be

retained by the owner as liquidated damages in event of failure of the successful bidder to

execute the contract within ten days after the award or to give satisfactory surety as required by

law.

A performance bond and a payment bond will be required for one hundred percent (100%) of

the contract price.

Payment will be made based on ninety-five percent (95%) of monthly estimates and final

payment made upon completion and acceptance of work.

No bid may be withdrawn after the scheduled closing time for the receipt of bids for a period of

60 days.

The owner reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to waive informalities.
