Renovation of a detention facility in High Point, North Carolina. Completed plans call for the renovation of a detention facility.

The scope of this project is to select a design-build team by qualifications-based selection to provide design, estimating, construction and construction management services to accomplish the renovation goals of Guilford County. Guilford County seeks to pursue the design-build project delivery method to minimize cost escalation risk, minimize change orders from existing conditions and decrease the overall project schedule. These renovations will take place in an occupied building and must be planned, scheduled and executed to allow operations to continue in the spaces affected. Guilford County believes the collaboration provided by the design-build model will provide the best end-product for the citizens and occupants of our spaces. The expected schedule for the projects is approximately 18 months to complete the package of work. The selected Design-Builder will be required to provide a performance and payment bond in accordance with provisions of Article 3 of Chapter 44A of the NC General Statutes.
