All contractors are hereby notified that they must have proper license as required under the state laws
governing their respective trades.
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 unlimited Building.
Note - Single Prime Contracts: 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. EXCEPT: On public buildings being bid single prime, where the total value of the general
construction does not exceed 25% of the total construction value, contractors under GS87- Arts 2
and 4 (Plumbing, Mechanical & Electrical) may bid and contract directly with the Owner as the
SINGLE PRIME CONTRACTOR and may subcontract to other properly licensed trades. GS87-1.1-

The 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.
