DESCRIPTION: Emergency Roof Replacement

USING GOVERNMENTAL UNIT: State Board for Technical and Comprehensive Education

Notice of Emergency Procurement

The State Board for Technical and Comprehensive Education (SBTCE)/SC Technical College System in accordance with §11-35-1570 (B) of the SC Consolidated Procurement Code, and in accordance with Regulation 19-445.2110 is announcing the award of an emergency procurement to Aqua Seal

Manufacturing and Roofing, Inc. to provide new roof at the Workforce Training Center (WTC) at

1090 Newton Way, Summerville, SC.

This Emergency Procurement has been put in place in order to avoid a potential threat to public health, welfare, or safety of the trainees and SBTCE Employees.

Describe the nature of the emergency condition and the resulting immediate threat to public health, welfare, critical economy and efficiency, or safety that this procurement responded to: Numerous leaks and failed repair attempts to the roof of the TTC - Workforce Training Center has led to the emergency determination that a new roof is needed. These leaks have caused classrooms and offices to be vacated while fixes and repairs are made, and the constant moisture in insulation, sheetrock, and ceiling tiles, is a health concern for mold growth. These conditions are not only unsafe but also interrupt critical training operations, an initiative essential to regional economic development and workforce readiness.

Describe the facts and circumstances giving rise to the above describe emergency condition and threat: The HVAC equipment at the Workforce Training Center (WTC) at 1090 Newton Way, Summerville, is original to the building and is 20 years old. Over the last several years, equipment has failed and attempts at repairs have become more costly and difficult, with many parts now being obsolete. Two of the five rooftop units have completely failed, with estimates to repair over $100K per unit. Rather than continue this course, SBTCE decided to replace the five RTUs and retrofit the failed

VAVs to limit the disruption and damage to the building.

Agency has contracted with Emergency Vendor for the supplies, services, information technology, or construction described below per S.C. Code Ann. §11-35-1570 and S.C. Regulation 19-445.2110, Emergency Procurement.

Emergency Vendor: Aqua Seal Manufacturing and Roofing Inc.

Basis for Selection of the Vendor – A roofing consultant was hired to prepare specs and drawings for the replacement. These were sent to three qualified preselected vendors to provide an expedited quote for the services. The lowest bidder, with the ability to expedite services to meet the emergency need was awarded the project.

Description of supplies, services, information technology, or construction: The existing roofing membrane and all flashing will be removed. The existing insulation, any wood material, and decking will be inspected for water damage during demo. A new 60 mil fully adhered TPO roof will be installed. All new weather boots, walking pads, flashing, counterflashing, and coping caps will also be installed. Total cost of this work: $350K-400K.
