Roof Replacement Services

Sarasota County is requesting qualifications for a pool of contractors to provide roof replacement and installation services at County facilities under RFQ #262902MKM, with qualifications due November 6, 2026. The County intends to award contracts to all responsive and responsible proposers for an anticipated initial three-year term.

Contractors must hold an active Florida or Sarasota County Licensed Roofing Contractor license at bid opening and provide minimum three verifiable commercial, governmental, or industrial project references within the past seven years, including at least one governmental project with a minimum construction cost of $250,000. For projects requiring access to secure Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) facilities managed by the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office, contractors and their personnel must undergo fingerprint-based background checks and receive approval from the Sheriff's Local Agency Security Officer before unescorted access to judicial offices or criminal justice records areas. The County requires 10 days' written notice of assigned personnel prior to service commencement and retains the right to require removal or replacement of any contractor personnel within 48 hours of written notice.

Scope covers roof replacement and installation at County office buildings, warehouses, infrastructure operations buildings, jails, courthouses, clinics, fire stations, and parks and recreation facilities. The majority of projects involve asphalt shingle roofs, modified bituminous protected membrane roofs, and thermoplastic roofs. Pricing is submitted as all-inclusive lump sum quotes for individual projects not to exceed Florida Statute 255.20's Annual Bid Threshold. A 10% contingency allowance will be added by the County and used only with prior written approval. Each project is awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

For purchase orders of $200,000 or more, a 100% performance and payment bond is required, with bonding companies rated A.M. Best "B+" or better for bonds under $500,000 and "A-" or better for larger bonds. Insurance requirements include Workers' Compensation, Commercial General Liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence), Business Automobile Liability ($1,000,000 combined single limit), and Umbrella/Excess Liability ($2,000,000 each occurrence and aggregate), with Sarasota County listed as additional insured. All materials and labor are warranted for a minimum of two years, with materials warranted for at least 20 years. Site visits are mandatory for projects where scheduled; non-attendance forfeits quote submission eligibility for that project.
