Vendor Qualifications

Minority-owned Businesses

NCGS 143-128 requires that each municipality adopt a verifiable percentage goal for

the participation of minority, women, and disadvantaged businesses in construction and

repair contracts in excess of $100,000.

The Winterville Town Council adopted a policy which states that the Town of Winterville

shall have a verifiable goal of ten percent (10%) participation by minority businesses in

the award of building contracts that exceed $300,000, or building contracts that exceed

$100,000 where the Town has received a State appropriation or State grant funds to be

utilized as part of the project. Contractors must submit required documentation in

compliance with the Town’s Minority Participation Policy (NCGS §143-128) as well as

the E-Verify and Non-Collusion Affidavits.

Bid Bonds

Bid Bonds are required on certain purchases and contracts as described below. The

purpose of a bid bond is to ensure that the firm submitting the bid will execute the

contract, if awarded. The minimum required amount for a bid bond is 5% of the first-year

contract price. However, the Finance Department may establish a higher bond

depending on the type of purchase. Bonds are returned to the bidder or released after

the contract is signed.

Bid Bonds are required for construction contracts. Failure of a bidder to submit a bid

bond at the time of the bid opening will render the bid invalid, and the bid may not be

considered. Failure of the successful bidder to sign the contract will result in forfeiture of

the bond. The bond may be in the form of a bid bond drawn by a company licensed to

do business in the State of NC. The Town will only accept bid bonds provided by

bonding companies. Bonds must be issued by a company licensed to do business in

North Carolina.
