REMOVE & REPLACE LODGE ROOF @WEBB

The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) is seeking a qualified contractor to remove and replace the roof at the Webb Wildlife Management Area Lodge located in Garnett, South Carolina. The project requires comprehensive roofing services, including removing the existing shingle roof from the two-story lodge (approximately 5,000 square feet) and installing a new 26-gauge Gulf-Lok Standing Seam metal roof system. Specific deliverables include full roof material removal, potential decking replacement, installation of new underlayment, metal roofing per manufacturer specifications, flashings, pipe vent boots, step and drip flashing, fascia board repairs, chimney capping, and a TPO single-ply membrane roof around the steeple section. A mandatory pre-bid conference was scheduled for February 23, 2022, at 12:00 p.m. at the Webb WMA site, with bid questions due by February 24, 2022, at 3:00 p.m. Sealed bids were originally due by March 16, 2022, at 10:00 a.m., with all work to be completed no later than June 30, 2022. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, with evaluation based on comprehensive pricing that includes all labor, materials, equipment, and disposal costs.

The solicitation does not specify specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but it does offer South Carolina resident contractor and subcontractor preferences. Contractors must provide proof of a valid contractor's license and secure insurance with minimum coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence for Commercial General Liability, $1,000,000 per accident for Auto Liability, and Statutory Limits for Workers' Compensation. Bidders are required to obtain a South Carolina vendor number and register through www.procurement.sc.gov. Successful contractors must provide a one-year labor warranty on craftsmanship and manufacturer warranties on materials. Nonresident contractors may be subject to South Carolina withholding requirements and must register with the Department of Revenue. For contracts valued at $50,000 or more, contractors must execute Payment and Performance Bonds using specific state forms. While no specific contract value was explicitly stated, the comprehensive roofing work suggests a project budget likely in the range of $50,000 to $150,000, depending on the extent of additional repairs needed during the roof replacement process.
