Drake Building Roof Replacement

The Upson County Board of Commissioners is soliciting sealed bids for the Drake Building Roof Replacement project located at 305 S. Hightower Street, Thomaston, Georgia. The scope of work involves the complete replacement of the roofing system, including the installation of a 50-year warrantied fiberglass asphalt shingle roof, overlay decking, synthetic underlayment, leak barrier membranes, gutters, downspouts, and flashing. Additionally, the project requires the remediation of asbestos-containing mastic on parapet face brick walls and the repair and repainting of existing wood louvers. Bid alternates are available for replacing wood louvers with prefinished metal and further face brick restoration. Qualified bidders must be licensed in Georgia and have at least five years of business history under their current name, with no defaults on construction contracts during that period. Requirements include the completion of three similar non-residential projects and a superintendent with five years of relevant experience. The award will be granted to the most responsive and responsible bidder based on overall value and benefit rather than cost alone. Mandatory submission documents include a bid pricing form, non-collusive, contractor, and SAVE affidavits, a W-9, E-Verify documentation, and three professional recommendations. The successful contractor must provide a performance bond for 100 percent of the contract amount and maintain comprehensive general liability and automobile insurance with a minimum A.M. Best rating of A-. Project execution must adhere to the 2024 International Building Code, 2015 International Energy Conservation Code, and OSHA standards. Payments are processed on a Net 30 basis following approval by a third-party inspector. Bids must be submitted in a sealed envelope to the Upson County Board of Commissioners by the specified deadline.
