NOTICE is hereby given that the Lauderdale County Board of Supervisors will receive proposals until 9:00 a.m. on Friday, January 09, 2026, for the following: RFP NO. LC080-2025: ROOF REPAIR - LAUDERDALE COUNTY AGRI-CENTER The Board of Supervisors is soli

The Lauderdale County Board of Supervisors is soliciting proposals through RFP NO. LC080-2025 for roof repair services at the Lauderdale County Agricultural Center in Meridian, Mississippi. Proposals must be submitted by 9:00 a.m. CST on January 9, 2026, with a public bid opening scheduled an hour later. The contract will be awarded on a lump sum basis to a qualified contractor who will perform repairs on five sections of the metal roof. Work involves removing and replacing fasteners, applying new butyl sealant at all vertical and horizontal laps, and replacing pipe flashings, heater vents, and exhaust vent flashings across designated areas including the Stables, Center High Front and Back, Front Low, Warm Up Arena, and Center Rear Low Roof. The contractor is required to deliver a fully watertight roof system and provide a 10-year warranty covering both materials and workmanship. The County reserves the right to accept or reject proposals and may negotiate award considering price, experience, warranties, and qualifications through a best-qualified trade-off approach rather than a lowest-price technically acceptable model. Submissions must include a complete package with specified forms such as bid proposal, vendor data, subcontractor data, non-collusion affidavits, and professional references. Vendors must demonstrate at least ten years of roofing industry experience and provide evidence of appropriate insurance coverage including general liability, automobile liability, and umbrella liability. Proposals must be sealed and clearly labeled, with proprietary information separately marked as “CONFIDENTIAL” if applicable. Electronic submissions are accepted only through the Central Bidding portal; email or other delivery methods are prohibited. Performance and inspection will take place on-site, with acceptance contingent upon compliance with detailed technical specifications. The County does not provide formal FAR clauses or federal contract compliance requirements, focusing instead on local government provisions and standards. There are no designated contracting officers or payment offices named, and the contract does not include fixed performance dates but relies on the proposer’s schedule. The procurement does not specify contract value, line-item pricing, or option periods, and does not require federal certifications such as UEI or socioeconomic status qualifications. This solicitation emphasizes experience, warranty guarantees, and adherence to specifications in its evaluation and award considerations.
