Edgecombe County is located in rural Eastern North Carolina and borders Nash, Wilson, Pitt, Martin and
Halifax County. Edgecombe County includes the county seat of Tarboro and nine other municipalities
with Rocky Mount serving as the largest. The other municipalities are Princeville, Pinetops, Conetoe,
Leggett, Macclesfield, Sharpsburg, Speed and Whitakers. The County spans 506.87 square miles with
504.44 square miles of land and 1.43 square miles of water which composes 2.87% of the total area,
making it one of the highest land-to-water ratios in the state. Edgecombe County Government owns,
leases and operates a wide array of facilities, including administrative and judicial offices, public safety
and justice infrastructure, community service buildings, utilities, and parks and recreation. The county’s
Maintenance Department is responsible for maintaining buildings and grounds.
Edgecombe County Government is requesting proposals from qualified Service Providers to enter into a
service agreement for the provisions of Emergency Response, Disaster Recovery, and Mitigation Services
for all County owned and leased facilities. The intent is to establish predetermined labor and material
rates and set material markup to support response efforts in the event of an emergency or natural disaster.
The selected Service Provider will be expected to respond rapidly, perform emergency response, cleanup,
demolition, repair, restoration, mitigation, mold remediation, and other services as needed in accordance
with Federal, State, Local, and FEMA guidelines and regulations. Services must be available 24/7 with
guaranteed response times and the ability to safely mobilize within 24 hours of notice.
Edgecombe County Government has presented a list of all County owned facilities to be included in the
RFP process on Attachment A. This list details the physical address and total square footage.
