This is a specification document for roof trusses for the SHIP - NED Demo and Replacement Project in Escambia County, Florida, located at 127 Robinson Street in Cantonment. The document provides detailed technical specifications for the residential roof truss system required for the new 1,242 square foot, three-bedroom single-family home construction. Key specifications include roof pitch requirements, load calculations, and design standards compliant with Florida Building Code and wind load design criteria applicable to the project location. The truss design must accommodate the specified roof configuration and structural requirements for the new residential construction. The project timeline extends 165 consecutive calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with 135 days allocated for substantial completion and an additional 30 days for final completion. Bid submissions are required electronically by November 18, 2025, at 9:00 am, with a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting and site inspection scheduled for October 23, 2025, at 9:00 am.

The roof trusses must meet all pre-approved building materials standards and integrate with the overall construction specifications established for the project. As a component of the demolition and new construction contract, truss pricing will be incorporated into the contractor's comprehensive bid, which must include a bid bond or cashier's check for 5% of the total bid price. The project is funded through the State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) program. Contractors must ensure all materials and work comply with Florida Building Code standards and wind load design requirements specific to the Escambia County location. The successful contractor will be evaluated based on responsiveness, responsibility, and lowest total offer, with payment structured through a draw schedule with up to five payments based on project milestones.
