RCC Shimmer Wall Permanent Repair

The City of Raleigh is soliciting informal bids from qualified contractors to provide all labor, materials, equipment, and supervision necessary to complete permanent structural repairs resulting from a localized fire that occurred on December 1, 2025, at the lower roof section of the Raleigh Convention Center. The scope of work includes the removal of existing, damaged wide-flanged beam members, replacement of metal decking and cross bracing, installation of new metal roof decking, welding, anchoring, and installation of structural connections, and cleaning, surface preparation, and painting of affected structural steel. The contractor shall restore the structural integrity of the affected areas to meet all applicable codes, standards, and design requirements. Some key points to consider include: • The facility will remain operational during construction, and the contractor shall coordinate all work activities to maintain safe access and minimize impact to daily operations and scheduled events. • The contractor shall comply with the City’s policy to encourage bidders to use Certified Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprise (MWBE) businesses. • The City’s goal is to contract and sub-contract fifteen percent (15%) of the total contract amount to Certified MWBEs on construction projects of $300,000 or more, or contracts of $100,000 or more that include any State funding.
