CRA Roofing Project - 8207 N Palafox St

Escambia County's Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) is seeking quotes for a residential rehabilitation project focused on roofing services at 8207 N Palafox St in Pensacola, Florida. The procurement is a Request for Quotes (RFQ) for comprehensive roof replacement and repair of an owner-occupied single-family residence. Specific roofing deliverables include removing existing roof covering, replacing up to 320 square feet of damaged decking, repairing roof framing, installing new underlayment, drip edge, vents, flashing, and boots, and applying 30-year architectural shingles (CertainTeed Landmark or equivalent). The project requires general contractors who are licensed, insured, and in good standing with the county, with a mandatory pre-quote meeting scheduled for September 2, 2025, at 8:30 AM. Bidders must submit quotes electronically through OpenGov Procurement by September 11, 2025, at 1:00 PM, with quote review set for September 12, 2025, at 11:30 AM. The project has a 60-day completion timeline, with liquidated damages of $50 per day for exceeding the contract period.

Participation is restricted to licensed and insured general contractors, with new contractors required to submit a letter of insurability. The county may award line items separately, particularly for emergency roofing and septic/sewer services. Bidders must provide proof of Sunbiz registration, a W-9, contractor licensure, and a certificate of insurance listing Escambia County as an additional insured. While no specific set-aside designations are mentioned, contractors must meet specific qualification criteria, including using EnergyStar approved appliances with LED bulbs and adhering to specified material standards. Performance bonds may be required for projects valued at $25,000 or higher. The project is locally funded through the county's CRA program, with no federal funding involved. Contractors will be evaluated based on being the lowest, most responsive, and most responsible quoter, with the contract awarded accordingly through the OpenGov procurement platform.
