Technology Education and Development Center Roof Replacement

Blue Ridge Community College is seeking proposals for a comprehensive roof replacement project at the Technology Education and Development Center (TEDC) located in Flat Rock, North Carolina. The turnkey procurement requires all labor, materials, traffic control, supervision, disposal fees, permits, and inspections to replace the existing TPO roofing system. The project involves replacing roof sections A, B, C, E, G, H, I, J, and K with a new 60-mil white TPO membrane, including five potential bid alternates such as replacing the roof hatch safety rail system, removing the existing satellite system, providing metal coping, installing walkway treads, and providing performance and payment bonds. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for May 8th, 2025, at 11:00 PM, with sealed bids due by May 28th, 2025, at 3:00 PM. The project must be completed by August 15th, 2025, with liquidated damages of $200 per day for late completion. Contractors will be responsible for maintaining site access, protecting existing structures, managing construction waste, and ensuring a watertight installation with a 20-year manufacturer's warranty.

The procurement includes minority business participation goals of 10%, requiring contractors to be registered on NC E-Procurement within one week of contract award. Contractors must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation, general liability, and property insurance. The project will utilize a single prime contract format, with the owner being Blue Ridge Community College, and the architect is Mark Lusk Architecture PLLC. Contractors will need to handle all utility disconnections and reconnections, obtain necessary permits, pass inspections, and comply with the 2009 North Carolina Energy Conservation Code. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the detailed project manual and multiple bid alternates suggest a substantial investment in infrastructure improvement. The college maintains a strict no-smoking policy and requires daily cleanup, traffic control, and complete site restoration to the original condition upon project completion.
