Kershaw salt shed roof replacement

The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) is seeking bids for the Kershaw Salt Shed Roof Replacement project located in Lancaster County at 512 South Fair Street, Camden, SC. The procurement involves replacing the roof on a 42' x 48' Cover-All Salt Shed Building using NovaShield II with ArmorKote RU88X-6, 4mil roofing material or an approved equivalent. The project requires furnishing and installing a new 48' long, heavy-duty, HDPE, non-FR, white fabric roof cover and two 42' wide heavy-duty, HDPE, non-FR, white fabric end panels, along with all necessary components such as PVC tensioning pipes and tensioning ratchets. The contractor must provide all labor, materials, supervision, equipment, and related items necessary to complete the work, with a requirement to deliver materials within 14 days of receiving the purchase order and complete all work within fourteen calendar days of the Notice to Proceed. A non-mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for December 2, 2024, at 11:00 AM, with questions due by December 3, 2024, at 12:00 PM, and bids due by December 4, 2024, at 2:30 PM. The award will be posted on December 12, 2024, with a contract period running from December 13, 2024, to June 30, 2025.

The solicitation includes preferences for South Carolina resident contractors and subcontractors, potentially providing an advantage to local businesses. The contractor must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including Commercial General Liability with limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence, Auto Liability with limits of $1,000,000, and Worker's Compensation as required by South Carolina law. While no specific disadvantaged enterprise set-asides are mentioned, the procurement appears open to qualified contractors who can meet the technical specifications and insurance requirements. The working hours are restricted to 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday, excluding state holidays. The estimated project budget range is not explicitly stated in the documents, but one file suggests a range between $25,000 and $50,000. The contractor will be required to provide a one-year warranty against defective workmanship from the date of acceptance, and the award will be made to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder. The technical specifications for the roofing material, provided by Intertape Polymer Group, detail a heavyweight fabric with high durability, UV resistance, and performance characteristics suitable for the salt shed environment.
