Roof Replacement (Big Cypress)

The Seminole Tribe of Florida's Housing Department is seeking qualified roofing contractors to perform roof replacement services for a residential property located at 30691 Melaleuca Trail in the Big Cypress Reservation, situated within Hendry County and Clewiston City, Florida. The Invitation to Bid (ITB-LD 139-2025) offers two roofing options: a new metal roof or a new architectural shingle roof. Contractors must be certified roofing professionals with current liability insurance and worker's compensation, responsible for providing all labor, materials, and equipment while obtaining necessary permits and adhering to Florida Building Code standards. The procurement timeline includes a pre-bid conference on November 4, 2025, at 10:30 AM ET, with prospective bidders required to submit questions through BidNet Direct by November 7, 2025. Final bids are due by November 17, 2025, with project commencement required within 60 calendar days of receiving the purchase order and completion expected within 21 calendar days. Evaluation criteria will include on-time submission, licensing, projected completion date, previous performance, current workload, and pricing.

The solicitation includes a specific preference for Seminole Tribal and STOFI-owned businesses, allowing them to submit bids up to 4% higher than the lowest non-Tribal bid for construction projects. The Tribe reserves the right to select one or multiple contractors and to split the award at its discretion. While specific total project budget or award values are not explicitly stated in the documents, bidders must complete a comprehensive Schedule of Values spreadsheet detailing line-item pricing for general conditions, supervision, and roofing work. The pricing schedule requires lump sum pricing for components including start-up and mobilization, temporary facilities, project management, and specific roofing installation. Contractors must complete the entire schedule of values without exceptions and include corporate officer or owner signatures. The procurement approach emphasizes thorough documentation, local business engagement, and flexible contractor selection to ensure the successful completion of the roof replacement project.
