7 roofs at yawkey wildlife CTR

The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) is soliciting sealed bids for a comprehensive roof replacement project at the Yawkey Wildlife Center in Georgetown, South Carolina. The procurement involves replacing seven distinct roofs across different buildings, including the Woods House, Guerry House, McAlister House, Ferry Building, Rec Hall, Blanton House, and St. James Church. Each roof replacement requires complete removal of existing asphalt shingles, detailed inspection and replacement of damaged sheathing, replacement of flashing and drip edge, installation of plumbing vent boots, placement of 30-pound felt underlayment, and installation of new 30-year architectural shingles. A mandatory pre-bid conference and site visit occurred on November 17, 2020, at 11:30 AM, with vendor questions due by November 20, 2020, at 12:00 PM. The sealed bid submission deadline was December 4, 2020, at 10:00 AM, with award notifications to be posted the same day. Bidders must provide unit pricing for each building lot and complete all work within 90 days of the purchase order, with allowances for weather-related delays.

Prospective bidders must be licensed South Carolina commercial contractors and provide proof of licensure, current insurance certificates, and manufacturer warranties. Contractors are required to maintain commercial general liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence, auto liability insurance of $1,000,000 per accident, and workers' compensation coverage with $1,000,000 employer's liability limits. South Carolina resident contractors or subcontractors may claim a 2% or 4% preference if meeting statutory requirements. All work must conform to the 2015 International Building Codes, and contractors must provide a five-year labor warranty on craftsmanship and supply 30-year material warranties from the manufacturer. Payment will be processed upon 100% completion and approval of work for each lot. While no specific contract value was disclosed in the solicitation, the project encompasses seven separate roof replacements, suggesting a potentially substantial investment in infrastructure maintenance for the Yawkey Wildlife Center.
