Roof Replacement for GICC Building

The City of College Park, Georgia is seeking proposals for a comprehensive roof replacement project at the Georgia International Convention Center (GICC), located at 2000 Convention Center Concourse. This Request for Proposal (RFP 26-33) requires a complete removal of the existing roofing system, site preparation, structural inspection, and installation of a new fully warranted roofing system with insulation, flashing, drainage systems, and sealants. Contractors must possess a valid Georgia commercial roofing license, demonstrate at least five years of experience with three completed commercial roofing projects in the past five years, and hold manufacturer certification for the proposed roofing system. The mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for December 16, 2025, at 10:00 am EST, with proposal submissions due electronically via BidNet Direct by January 6, 2025, at 3:00 pm EST. The evaluation will be based on technical merit (60 points maximum) and cost proposal (25 points maximum), with award going to the most responsive and responsible bidder. The deadline for submitting questions and clarifications is December 19, 2024, at 3:00 pm EST, and the City intends to award a one-year contract with options to renew for four additional one-year periods.

The procurement offers a local preference to businesses located within College Park city limits with a business license held for at least one year, potentially recommending local vendors if their bid is within 3% of the lowest non-local bid. Successful bidders must provide a 5% bid bond and performance and payment bonds each equal to 100% of the contract amount within 10 days of award. Required insurance includes workers' compensation per Georgia law, commercial general liability of $2,000,000 per occurrence, business auto liability of $1,000,000 per claim, and professional liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence. OSHA 10/30 certification is mandatory for all supervisors and workers. The contractor will be responsible for obtaining all necessary permits and ensuring compliance with federal, state, and county laws and codes. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the project involves a complete roof replacement for a significant public facility, suggesting a substantial contract value. Federal and state sales taxes will not apply to this procurement, as the City of College Park has a tax identification number of 58-6000542.
