The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) is seeking qualified contractors to remove and replace roofs on two concrete block residential buildings located at the Yawkey Wildlife Center near Georgetown, South Carolina. The project involves Building A (YWC 4, approximately 1,400 square feet) on Cat Island and Building B (YWC 26, approximately 1,700 square feet) on South Island. Specific work requirements include removing existing asphalt shingle roofs, repairing damaged roof decking and framing, replacing flashing and drip edge, installing 30-pound felt underlayment, and installing new 30-year architectural shingles compliant with the 2015 International Building Code.

Offers were due February 19, 2020, by 10:00 AM, with questions accepted until February 6, 2020, at 12:00 PM. The procurement will evaluate bidders based on being the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, with contractors required to submit unit pricing for complete roof replacements, specify shingle brands, and indicate any South Carolina resident contractor preferences.

Contractors must be licensed in South Carolina and provide proof of contractor's license and current insurance certificates with minimum coverage requirements of $1,000,000 general liability per occurrence, $1,000,000 auto liability per accident, and statutory workers' compensation limits.
