Pocosin Lakes Field Station Roof Repair 19 August 2026

1. General:

Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Refuge (205 S. Ludington Drive, Columbia, NC, 27925-9687) is seeking repair of a leaking roof located at the refuge Field Station (3157 Shore Drive, Creswell, NC 27928-9259). The work is intended as a localized repair and does not include complete roof replacement or correction of unrelated deficiencies in the existing roofing system.

Offerors are advised that removal or disturbance of soffit, shingles, flashing, and other components necessary to perform the specified repairs may reveal concealed deterioration or damage to roof sheathing, framing, or other directly associated components that cannot be fully identified prior to commencement of the work. Such conditions are reasonably anticipated as a potential condition that may be encountered in performing the specified repair work. The Contractor shall promptly notify the Contracting Officer in writing of any such conditions and shall not perform additional work beyond the awarded requirements without prior written authorization from the Contracting Officer. If the Government determines that repair or replacement of concealed damaged components is necessary to complete the specified roof repairs, any authorized change to the contract, including an adjustment to and increase in price and/or performance period as appropriate, will be accomplished by written contract modification with the Contracting Officer.

The existing roof has active leaks resulting from defective installation practices, including low nail count, improper valley cuts, missing drip edge, and improperly installed flashing. These issues have created ongoing water intrusion risks. The purpose of this project is to address the immediate leak points to stop water intrusion and prevent structural damage.
