Senior Center Roof Project

The City of Tallahassee is soliciting bids for the Senior Center Roof Project, a comprehensive roof replacement initiative located at 1400 N Monroe Street in Tallahassee, Florida. The procurement involves a full roof system restoration encompassing cleaning and patching of the existing mineral surface low slope roofing, removing parapet wall base flashing, and installing an 80 mil polyvinyl chloride (PVC) fleece-backed cap sheet roofing system with a 60 mil PVC flashing membrane. Contractors must provide a 20-year non-prorated manufacturer warranty and comply with Florida Building Code requirements. A mandatory pre-bid conference and site visit is scheduled for January 13, 2026, at 11:00 AM, with questions due by January 20, 2026, at 12:00 PM. Bids are due February 5, 2026, at 2:30 PM through the Bonfire electronic bidding system, with project completion expected within approximately 90 days of contract execution. Bidders must submit a base bid covering 150 square feet of wet isocyanurate and coverboard replacement and 60 square feet of wet lightweight insulating concrete replacement, along with unit pricing for additional materials.

The project is funded through a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), triggering federal labor standards provisions including Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements and Section 3 regulations. Contractors must be registered with SAM.gov, obtain a Unique Entity ID, and maintain specific insurance coverages, including $1,000,000 Commercial General Liability and Workers' Compensation. While no specific set-aside designations are mentioned, the project includes provisions for minority and women business enterprise (MWBE) participation. Performance bonding is required at 100 percent of the contract price, and liquidated damages are set at $500 per calendar day of delay, not exceeding $10,000 per month. Contractors must demonstrate a minimum of five years of commercial roofing experience and provide three references for similar projects completed within the last five years. The project anticipates a single award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with final City Commission approval expected in February 2026.
