Carteret County is seeking qualified firms to serve as Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) for the new Public Safety Building Project. The project will be built on an approximately 41-acre site at 2303 U.S. Highway 70 in Beaufort.
About the Project
The work will proceed in two coordinated tasks. The first is early site work, including grading, stormwater and erosion controls, utilities, access, and parking. The second is final site development and construction of an approximately 78,000-square-foot detention center. The facility is planned for 267 beds, with infrastructure designed to support future expansion to 400 beds. A 10,000-square-foot evidence storage building with covered vehicle and equipment storage is planned as an add alternate. Moseley, Inc. is the project's architect and engineer.
