Project Narrative

The Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge Bunkhouse was designed in 2016 and built in 2018 as a residential, single-story building with cathedral ceilings on an 1,800-SF footprint. It is used as a quarters to house refuge staff onsite. The roof incurred light damage to shingles and other roofing components from Hurricane Milton in 2024.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is in need of construction services to replace the existing asphalt architectural shingle roof assembly with a more resilient, tin–zinc coated copper double-lock standing seam metal roof (SSMR) assembly over the existing structural insulated panel (SIP) roof structure. The building will be unoccupied during the completion of this Work.
