North Carolina Department of Transportation – 2026 Invitation to Bid

The North Carolina Department of Transportation is issuing an Invitation to Bid for nine separate highway‑related construction projects across the state. Each contract involves a mix of grading, drainage, paving, signal installations, utility work, and in some cases milling, resurfacing, and bridge/structure repairs. Bids must be submitted electronically by 2 pm on September 15, 2026, and a 5 % bid bond is required. Interested parties must pre‑qualify at least four weeks before the bid opening, and all contract work must be completed by dates ranging from mid‑2028 to mid‑2029. • Scope includes road grading, sub‑grade drainage, asphalt paving, signal and guardrail installation, culvert and pipe work, and selective milling/resurfacing. • Projects span multiple counties (Onslow, Wayne, Wake, Johnston, Rockingham, Randolph, Wilkes, Caldwell) with contract lengths from ~0.3 mi to over 20 mi. • Federal‑aid contracts do not require a general contractor’s license; state‑funded contracts do, and a DBE goal is attached to each.
