This award confirms the five contractors that have been pre‑qualified to compete for the upcoming summer painting project for Richland County School District One. The pre‑qualification step is separate from the actual construction contract; once the district releases the subsequent solicitation, only these firms may submit bids. The notice provides agency contact information but no monetary value, performance schedule, or detailed scope beyond “summer painting.” The pre‑qualification was issued on May 1, 2026 and the award of the qualified list was made on May 22, 2026. No deadlines, contract length, or pricing terms are disclosed in this document.
• Five local contractors (including First Class Construction and Painting Experts) are cleared to bid on the future painting work.
• The solicitation is for a public school district in Columbia, SC; no value threshold is indicated, implying the actual painting contract could be under $50,000 or larger.
• No contact emails or vendor addresses are provided, so interested parties must reach out to the district’s procurement office (Caroly Leigh Hodges) for further details.
