RFQ for Contractor Services for Replacement of Public Safety Bldg Roof

The City of Canton, Georgia is issuing a Request for Qualifications and Proposals (RFQ/P) for Design-Build contractor services to replace the roof of the Canton Public Safety & Municipal Court Building located at 151 Elizabeth Street in Canton, Georgia. The project scope includes complete roof replacement of a historic two-story brick building that currently houses the Police Department Headquarters and Municipal Courts, with immediate temporary repairs to address active roof leaks in designated priority areas required upon contract award, followed by design and construction phases. Design-Build services are anticipated to commence in June 2026, contingent on funding availability, with construction work not permitted during court sessions. Proposals will be evaluated using a two-step process with qualified proposals scored on Qualifications of Firm and Personnel (35 points), Project Approach and Understanding (30 points), Capacity and Capability (25 points), and Overall Quality of Proposal (10 points), with cost proposals submitted separately and sealed, and the highest combined score receiving the award recommendation. Proposers must demonstrate a minimum of three years in historic restoration, maintain commercial insurance with single limits of at least $1,000,000, and ensure the Design professional team member holds a current Georgia Registered Architect license or current Registered Roof Consultant certification from IIBEC. All Design-Builders must use either Procore or Smartsheet Project Management Software, with preference for Smartsheet. Critical deadlines include a mandatory pre-bid meeting on April 15, 2026 at 9:00 AM on-site, written questions deadline of April 22, 2026 at 5:00 PM, City responses due April 24, 2026 at 3:00 PM, Statements of Qualifications and Cost Proposals due May 6, 2026 by 3:00 PM, shortlist interviews for finalist proposers scheduled for May 13, 2026 beginning at 9:00 AM, and final City Council recommendation targeted for May 21, 2026 at 6:00 PM.

The RFQ/P document does not specify any set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or restrictions on the types of organizations eligible to respond. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the procurement documentation. Proposers must comply with the AIA A141 Agreement Between Owner and Design-Builder standards for contract execution. Proposals are limited to 30 pages (excluding title page, table of contents, transmittal letter, section dividers, and resumes) and must include five similar projects completed within the past five years, project schedules with major tasks and milestones, and three client references for each key project team member. The preliminary construction cost has not been disclosed in the available documentation, and no specific budget range or award value has been provided by the City of Canton at this time.
