Roof Replacement Services

Sarasota County, Florida is requesting qualifications for roof replacement services on an as-needed basis at County-owned and operated facilities under RFQ #262902MKM, with qualifications due November 6, 2026. The County intends to establish a pre-qualified contractor pool and award contracts to all responsive and responsible proposers; individual projects will be assigned through subsequent competitive quotes to all awarded contractors, with each project awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

Qualified proposers must hold active roofing contractor licenses in Sarasota County or Florida at the time of bid opening and provide a minimum of three verifiable commercial, governmental, or industrial project references from the past seven years, with at least one governmental project carrying a minimum construction cost of $250,000. Contractors must perform at least 51% of the work with their own organization; subcontracting requires County pre-approval.

The scope encompasses asphalt shingle roofs, modified bituminous protected membrane roofs, thermoplastic roofs, and other industry-standard roof systems at office buildings, warehouses, water treatment plants, jails, courthouses, clinics, fire stations, and parks and recreation facilities. Project quotes must be all-inclusive lump sum costs and cannot exceed the current Annual Bid Threshold limit under Florida Statute 255.20. A 10% contingency allowance will be added to each project quote, usable only with written County approval.

For purchase orders of $200,000 or more, a performance and payment bond equal to 100% of the PO amount is required. Contractors must maintain workers' compensation insurance per Florida law; commercial general liability of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate; business automobile liability of at least $1,000,000 combined single limit; and umbrella/excess liability of at least $2,000,000.
