Project Title

Scope of Work

NC School for the Deaf – Morganton Campus

Campus Infrastructure

The project consists of demolishing an abandoned water tower and

the associated underground water piping back to the existing valve

and capping. New life safety infrastructure will need to be installed

for the Main Building Kitchen and Dining Area to provide adequate

water pressure for the sprinkler system. The project will also

consist of installing a new campus generator to the electrical

infrastructure to provide adequate emergency power to the

dormitories, kitchen, and central utility plant. The project will also

consist of multiple roof replacements based on a roofing study that

was completed in December 2022.

*Muter Construction is the Owner Representative and is not the

contractor for the project*

but not exclusively with, those identified in the list. In submitting its list, the design-builder may, but is not

required to, include one or more unlicensed subcontractors the designbuilder proposes to use. If this project team

subcontracts, accept bids for the selection of one or more of its first-tier subcontractors.
