26-56 Juvenile Justice Courthouse Roof

The Bay County Board of County Commissioners is requesting proposals from licensed commercial roofing contractors to deliver comprehensive roofing services for the old Juvenile Justice Courthouse located at 533 East 11th Street, Panama City, Florida under RFP 26-56, with proposals due September 2, 2026.

The contractor must furnish a complete, turnkey watertight roofing system, including all labor, materials, equipment, engineering, design, permitting, permit fees, inspections, and construction services necessary to implement recommendations outlined in the Nova Roof Moisture Intrusion Assessment Report completed June 15, 2026. The existing standing seam metal roof system, approximately 25,000 square feet across a multi-story facility, sustained hurricane damage in 2018 and exhibits active moisture intrusion at multiple locations. The assessment identified deteriorated sealant details at headwall flashings, disbonded butyl tape at Z-closures, missing pipe boot clamping rings, deficient underlayment terminations, damaged metal decking, detached gutter downspouts, and compromised sealant joints. Recommended work ranges from minor fastener replacement and debris removal to severe repairs requiring removal and reinstallation of Z-closure metal, headwall flashing, ridge caps, and damaged decking per manufacturer specifications.

The County requires a minimum ten-year watertight roof warranty upon project completion. The contractor must secure all applicable permits, pay associated fees, and ensure compliance with all applicable building codes and regulations. The awarded contractor must maintain a full-time on-site job supervisor and ensure contractor workforce performs at least 51 percent of the work. Standard insurance includes $1 million General Liability, $1 million Business Auto, and Workers' Compensation coverage. A Public Construction Bond is required per Florida Statutes Section 255.05, with liquidated damages set at $100.

Contractors must be licensed as general, building, and roofing contractors under Florida law prior to bid submission. All subcontractors must be properly licensed in their respective trades. The project requires a pre-construction conference to establish progress meeting frequency and monthly detailed construction schedules identifying the critical path.
