Replace Roof on Sanford Hall

Georgia Southwestern State University is requesting sealed bids to replace the roof on Sanford Hall, involving removal of the existing shingle roof and installation of a standing seam metal roof system, with bids due January 25, 2022 at 2:00 PM EST and a mandatory pre-bid conference on January 11, 2022 at 10:00 AM at the project site.

Addendum No. 1, issued January 18, 2022, expanded the scope to include replacement of the hip shingle roof at the center brick entry tower. The standing seam metal roof panels must meet a nominal thickness of 0.029 inches or minimum gauge of 22 gauge. Material completion is required within 90 consecutive calendar days from issuance of the Proceed Order.

The contract is awarded on a lump-sum basis to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Bid security is required in the form of a bid bond equal to 5 percent of the bid amount, with bids remaining irrevocable for 35 days following opening. The successful bidder must furnish 100 percent performance and payment bonds prior to contract execution. All surety and insurance companies must be acceptable to the Owner and listed in the Department of Treasury's Listing of Approved Sureties.

Contractor responsibility is evaluated on debarment status, prior termination history, cash flow sufficiency (current ratio of 1.0 or higher), workers' compensation safety record (Experience Modification Rate not exceeding an average of 1.2 over three years), and past performance on public works projects. Bidders must submit signed, notarized bid forms addressing all work, including two unit price alternates for rough carpentry and pressure-treated wood framing replacement. The Owner reserves the right to waive technicalities, reject all bids if they exceed budget, and negotiate with the lowest bidder if necessary to bring costs within budget.
