Forsyth Tech Northwest Campus Roof Replacement

Forsyth Technical Community College is soliciting bids for a partial roof replacement project at its Northwest Campus located at 3111 Big Oaks Drive, King, NC 27021, covering approximately 2,800 square feet of PVC roofing membrane. The scope of work includes demolition of the existing fully adhered PVC membrane with two layers of 2-inch isocyanurate insulation on metal decking, installation of new 1.5-inch mechanically attached isocyanurate insulation with crickets and saddles, application of 0.25-inch silicone-impregnated fiberglass-reinforced gypsum cover board, and full adherence of new PVC fleece-backed membrane with all flashings and accessories. The project must comply with the 2018 North Carolina Building Code and all applicable ASTM, NRCA, and SMACNA standards, with construction occurring during normal business hours (Monday through Saturday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM) while the building remains occupied. Qualified contractors must have been in business for a minimum of five years, be approved by manufacturers for premium roof systems with twenty-year non-delegable warranties, maintain a drug and alcohol-free workplace program, and provide qualified project management, foreman, and roofing mechanic personnel with specific experience requirements. A pre-bid conference is scheduled for 1:00 PM on Thursday, April 16, 2026, at the Northwest Campus, with sealed bids due by 2:00 PM on Monday, April 27, 2026. Bid security of 5 percent of the bid amount is required at submission, and successful bidders must provide performance and payment bonds each equal to 100 percent of the contract sum. The contractor must provide a two-year warranty on all work and secure a manufacturer's twenty-year non-delegable warranty at no additional cost to the owner, with a $5,000 contingency allowance included in the base bid.

The opportunity does not specify set-aside designations or restrictions limiting participation to disadvantaged enterprises or other specific organization types. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the procurement documents. The project documents reference existing infrastructure including metal decking, existing roof slope conditions, scupper drainage systems, and specific wind load calculations accounting for negative pressures of 36.7 PSF and 57.5 PSF in two roof zones on the 16-foot-tall building structure. Unit prices are required for fire-treated wood blocking and installation as part of the bid submission. While a specific total contract award value is not explicitly stated in the available information, the scope of work involving approximately 2,800 square feet of roofing replacement with materials, labor, insulation, cover board, and associated flashing installation, combined with the 5 percent bid security requirement and 100 percent performance and payment bond requirements, indicates a substantial construction project typical of institutional roofing replacements.
