120, 124, and 136 S. Cherokee Road Roofing

The state and local contract opportunity is a roofing procurement for the City of Social Circle, located in Ware County, Georgia, focusing on roof replacement for three downtown properties at 120, 124, and 136 S. Cherokee Road. The project requires comprehensive roof demolition and reconstruction, including removing existing roof decks and installing a new R25 roof system with specific technical specifications: a 5/8" gypsum cover board, vapor barrier, 4.5 inches of continuous Polyiso insulation, and a new TPO roof membrane. Key project objectives include upgrading the roofs to current energy code standards, addressing water-damaged structural elements by replacing damaged wood planks with 1/2 inch plywood, and demolishing existing roof skylights. The bid is scheduled for submission on Monday, June 2, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. local time, with bids to be delivered via hand delivery or UPS/FedEx to the Social Circle Welcome Center. Bidders must be properly licensed, capable of obtaining required insurance and bonds, and provide a bid security of five percent of the total bid amount. The bid documents will be provided electronically without a required deposit, and bids cannot be withdrawn for 60 days after opening.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The project will be overseen by CPL as the project architect, with Amber McKibben serving as the owner's representative. Bidders should anticipate liquidated damages of $20 per day for project delays and must be prepared to commence work immediately upon receiving the notice to proceed. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the provided documentation, the comprehensive roof reconstruction across three downtown properties suggests a potentially significant project value. Successful contractors will need to demonstrate technical expertise in roofing systems, energy code compliance, structural repair, and the ability to handle complex urban renovation projects. The project includes technical nuances such as replacing internal roof drains, implementing tapered insulation for proper drainage, and addressing structural integrity issues with precise material replacements.
