Description

Primary Latest Change

The North Carolina Department of Public Safety, Division of Emergency Management (NCEM) is soliciting proposals to acquire services of a qualified Vendor(s) to provide Emergency Bulk Water Services throughout the State of North Carolina, on an as needed, emergency response basis. NCEM is a government organization that administers state and federal emergency management programs enabled by the Federal Stafford Act and Chapter 166A of the North Carolina General statutes. This All-Hazard Contract is therefore required to meet both small scale and large-scale needs, as well as to address short and long-term distribution system disruptions. Based on emergency need, the State may require multiple sites and temporary infrastructure support. In order to meet requirements during disasters and other emergencies, the North Carolina Division of Emergency Management (NCEM) is seeking proposals to establish a three (3) year Agency Contract. The intent of this solicitation is to award an Agency Specific Contract.
