All Contractors are hereby notified that they must have a proper license as required under the North Carolina State Laws governing their respective trades.

General Contractors are notified that Chapter 87, Article 1, General Statutes of , will be observed in receiving and awarding general contracts. General Contractors submitting bids on this project must have license classification for either: Unclassified Contractor or Building Contractor as required by the General Contractors Licensing Board under GS 87-1.
