The stated submittal deadline is Thursday, November 5, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. The listing summary gives 1:00 p.m. ET, so confirm the controlling deadline and submission instructions in the complete RFQ and portal posting.

Submittals must be received by Mecklenburg County Asset & Facility Management by the deadline. Plan for delivery and any required portal steps to be completed in advance.

Who this opportunity suits

This opportunity suits a licensed engineering firm with relevant HVAC replacement design experience, particularly work involving chilled- and hot-water systems in occupied buildings. Firms able to provide procurement and construction administration services may also be a fit.

How to access the RFQ and respond

Open the solicitation on North Carolina’s electronic Vendor Portal (eVP) using the posting’s “View original source” option. Viewing the posting and document list is public and does not require an account.

The advertisement says a copy of the complete RFQ may be obtained by emailing an official Notification-of-Interest to Joshua Kallam at [email protected]. Review the full RFQ for the required SOQ contents and submission method. Some North Carolina bids use the separate NC eProcurement (Ivalua) tool; otherwise follow the posting’s directions. Responding through eVP requires free vendor registration.

Prepare a focused qualifications response

Use the complete RFQ to check required forms, response format, delivery method, and any evaluation criteria. Make sure the response clearly establishes the firm’s North Carolina engineering license and directly relevant experience.

Describe comparable work in occupied buildings and explain the firm’s approach to coordinating design, procurement, and construction administration. Confirm that every required item is included and allow time to resolve portal or delivery issues before submitting.
