Construction Inspector

Description CONSTRUCTION INSPECTION SERVICES FOR U.S. COAST GUARD PROJECT The project will include the construction of a Small Child Development Center (CDC) with School Age Classrooms (SAC), totaling 22,967 square feet. The project will also include new outdoor play areas (11,040 SF) and 39 parking spaces (12,480 SF), for a total development area of 46,487 square feet. The facility will be located on Base Elezabeth City, within the Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) Wooded Area of the “Campus” zone. This project will establish a standard Small CDC designed to serve 126 children (ages 6 weeks to 5 years). It will incorporate dedicated spaces for school-age children (kindergarten through 6th grade) for after‑school, school vacations, and full‑day care in the summer. The new facility will meet or exceed current code requirements, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for dependents of all families and care providers using the facility. The new CDC will significantly improve both current and future childcare needs in support of Base Elizabeth City and adjacent units. The project shall be sited to accommodate future addition to a “Medium” (232 children) CDC, including School Age Classrooms (SAC). There is no existing Childcare Development Center (CDC) at Base Elizabeth City, Elizabeth City (E‑City), North Carolina. The site is a wooded square plot of land with roads on all four sides. The hobby shop is to the north, a wooded pavilion area with a playground structure to the east, MWR Restaurant to the south and Building 128 (Health Services) is to the west. The site is essentially flat and will not require ramping or stairs for access. Utilities are in or near the proposed site along the perimeter roads. Period of Performance The expected duration of the project will be approximately October 15, 2026 through September 30, 2028. The exact performance period of the inspection services contract cannot be confirmed until the design of the project is complete and the PCC has submitted the construction progress schedule, which will identify the exact start date of the construction activities. An extension of the duration of the inspection services contract may become necessary, depending on PCC performance.
