Fire Station #22 Roof

Brevard County Purchasing Services initiated a competitive bid process (Bid No. B-3-25-68) for a comprehensive roof replacement project at Fire Station #22 located in Mims, Florida. The procurement seeks a qualified contractor to replace the existing shingle roof with a snap lock standing seam metal roof system, including all necessary labor, materials, tools, equipment, and trucking. The project requires complete removal of the current roof, re-nailing of decking, installing underlayment, and implementing a 24-gauge standing seam metal roof system with specific components like eave drip, gable rake, and flashings. Key deliverables include a five-year workmanship warranty and a 20-year manufacturer warranty for materials. The bid was released on December 11, 2024, with a pre-bid meeting scheduled for December 20, 2024, at 1:00 PM, and bid submissions due on January 6, 2025, at 3:00 PM. Contractors were required to provide detailed documentation including a Foreign Influence Disclosure, Scrutinized Companies Affidavit, and Reference Form. The project timeline mandates substantial completion within 45 days of the Notice to Proceed and final completion within 30 days after substantial completion.

The contract does not appear to have specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. A comprehensive bid tabulation revealed 23 roofing and construction vendors from various Florida cities competed for the project, with bids ranging from $52,906.41 to $178,000.00. Ultimately, Precision Trades and Services, LLC of Melbourne, Florida, was awarded the contract for $52,906.41 on January 29, 2025. The procurement required extensive insurance documentation, including general liability, auto liability, and workers' compensation policies with specific coverage limits. Contractors were required to submit a certificate of insurance (COI) within five days of the award, with policies stipulating 30 days prior written notice for any cancellations or modifications. The project was based on a roof inspection report from Tech Systems Inc., which recommended a complete roof replacement due to the poor condition of the existing shingle roof. The contract includes provisions for potential additional work, such as fascia and sub-fascia replacements using cedar and spruce wood, which would be processed as change orders.
