CRA Roof Rehab - 2425 W. Blount St

Escambia County, Florida, through its Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA), is soliciting quotes under Invitation to Quote for a residential roof rehabilitation at 2425 W. Blount Street in Pensacola, with a mandatory on-site pre-bid meeting on November 17, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Eligibility is limited to general contractors licensed, insured, and in good standing with Escambia County, and new county contractors must submit a letter of insurability. Only quotes submitted through the OpenGov portal are accepted.

The scope covers removal and replacement of the roof covering down to decking, replacement of deteriorated decking (budgeted at 320 square feet), and repair or replacement of damaged framing. It also includes peel-and-stick underlayment, metal drip edge, slant-back vents, and flashing. Roofing must be 30-year architectural asphalt shingles, or a self-adhering modified bitumen system on low-sloped areas. Hurricane clips are required on every rafter or truss, documented with at least six photographs. Other work includes tree trimming to clear the roof by about 10 feet, fascia and soffit repair or replacement, 6-inch seamless gutters where gutters currently exist, and 4-inch downspouts with splash blocks and diverters. Photography is required at all construction stages. A separate Bid Scope Materials List for the same address specifies a kitchen and bathroom renovation with named-brand products (GE, Delta, Whirlpool, American Standard, Shaw, CertainTeed), with like, similar, or equal substitutions allowed. Escambia County may award line items separately for emergency roofing and septic or sewer work.

No contract value is stated. Payment is a lump sum, released only after inspections, homeowner acceptance, warranty documentation, debris removal, and final paperwork are complete. The project carries a 30-day completion deadline with liquidated damages of $50 per day for overruns. Projects valued at $25,000 or higher require 100% performance and payment bonds before Notice to Proceed. Required insurance includes workers' compensation at statutory limits and commercial general, automobile, and pollution liability at $1,000,000 each, with Escambia County as certificate holder and additional insured. Contractors must hold a state license, an Escambia County Competency Board License, and an Escambia County Business/Occupational License, plus EPA RRP certification where applicable.
