The Town of Black Mountain is seeking proposals for the lease with an option to purchase, delivery, installation, and full setup of modular office facilities to support police and fire department operations. This project is funded in part by FEMA and is subject to federal procurement requirements. The scope of work includes providing three modular facilities: one for police department offices, one for fire department offices and living quarters, and a partitioned conex box for armory and evidence storage. The contractor will be responsible for all aspects of delivery, installation, and utility connections. Proposals must include a technical proposal, cost proposal, proof of licensure, insurance, and SAM. gov registration. Proposals are due by April 10, 2026. Questions must be submitted by April 1, 2026.
The Town of Black Mountain emphasizes that timely delivery is critical. Proposers must clearly indicate anticipated delivery and installation timelines. The notice to proceed will be within one week of contract award.
The bid notice requires proposals to include proposed lease and purchase terms, including monthly lease costs, lease duration options, and terms for conversion to ownership (purchase price or buyout schedule). The town will evaluate proposals based on both short-term affordability and long-term value.
The bid notice states that upon completion, the contractor shall provide warranty information as part of the project closeout documentation.
Proposals will be evaluated based on a best value approach, considering cost (including lease structure and long-term value), technical quality and suitability, experience and qualifications, ability to meet the required timeline, and compliance with federal requirements.
All facilities must meet or exceed North Carolina building code requirements, be fully ADA compliant, include reliable and efficient HVAC systems, and be suitable for continuous, year-round occupancy. Preference will be given to solutions demonstrating durability, energy efficiency, and long-term usability. Proposers must also provide proof of licensure (GC, electrical, plumbing, HVAC), proof of insurance, and proof of SAM. gov registration.
Questions must be submitted by April 1, 2026. Addenda will be issued in writing only and will become part of the solicitation documents.
