Roof Replacement - Airport Operations Center

The Raleigh-Durham Airport Authority is requesting sealed bids for complete removal and replacement of the modified bitumen roofing assembly and building envelope repair at the Airport Operations Center (RDU Project No. 454005), with bids due October 14, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. A Small Business Program goal of 6% of total contract participation applies; bidders must either meet this goal or demonstrate sufficient good faith efforts through completed SB Forms.

The scope includes removal of all roofing assembly down to the structural deck, all existing roofing accessories, and building envelope repair with focus on sealant joint repair and replacement and insulated metal panel cladding corner and gasket repair. The contractor must coordinate with RDU throughout to ensure antenna and radio equipment operations remain unimpeded. The Base Bid includes two unit price allowances for concrete deck repair and wood blocking replacement. Two bid alternates are offered: Alternate No. 1 covers insulated metal panel vertical gaskets and sealant repair; Alternate No. 2 covers ballasted guardrail fall protection.

Work must achieve Substantial Completion within 90 calendar days from Notice to Proceed for the Base Bid and Alternate No. 2, or 120 calendar days if Alternate No. 1 is selected. Liquidated damages are $1,000 per calendar day exceeding the deadline. Performance and Labor and Material Payment bonds of 100% of contract price are required, along with 5% bid security. Retainage of 5% applies to progress payments prior to Substantial Completion, reducing to 0.5% upon 50% satisfactory completion.

A pre-bid conference and small business workshop is scheduled for September 22, 2026 at 10:00 a.m., followed by a site visit. Written questions are due September 30, 2026 by 4:00 p.m. to Cheri Baxter, Sr. Contracts Administrator (cheri.baxter@rdu.com). Bidders must comply with North Carolina General Statutes Chapter 87, Article 1, and federal and state contractor licensing requirements. The Authority reserves the right to reject any or all bids.
