SHIP Program Enua Sanchez - Roof Replacement

This contract, titled SHIP Program Enua Sanchez - Roof Replacement under solicitation number 2025-26-061, is a lump sum agreement issued by the City of Hialeah’s Community Development, Housing & Community Services Division to perform critical roof replacement work on a residential property eligible for the State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Program. The project is part of a broader effort to ensure safe, code-compliant, and accessible housing for low-income homeowners, with the scope strictly limited to the specifications outlined in Exhibit C, requiring all work to be completed in a good, workmanlike manner and in full compliance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations. The contract specifies a guaranteed maximum price of $5, which is clearly a placeholder or template error, as it is not reflective of realistic market costs; all permit fees are included, and any change orders exceeding $25,000 in cumulative value require City Council approval. The work must be performed within 90 calendar days of the Notice to Proceed, with performance hours restricted to 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and confined to the City of Hialeah. The contractor is required to provide payment and performance bonds equal to the contract sum within seven days of agreement execution, along with comprehensive insurance coverage including liability, workers’ compensation, builder’s risk, and coverage meeting Florida’s financial rating standards. Labor compliance includes adherence to prevailing wage requirements under the Davis-Bacon Act where applicable, and mandatory use of the E-Verify system for all employees and subcontractors, with affidavits verifying compliance retained for the agreement’s duration. The contractor is prohibited from using lead-based paint, covered telecommunications equipment, or materials not produced in the United States under Buy America requirements. All inspections for electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and roofing components must be scheduled by the contractor and verified before payment draws, with three progress payments allowed—25% and 50% completion milestones capped at 30% of the bid price each, and a final payment contingent upon final acceptance by both the City Project Manager and homeowner. Final acceptance requires submission of unconditional lien releases, warranty affidavits, manufacturer warranty assignments, operation manuals, and a signed certificate of final completion by the architect of record. Retainage of 5% is withheld until final completion, and the contractor must indemnify the City and homeowner against all claims arising from the work.
