Statewide Roof Maintenance, Repair, and Replacement Services

The Florida Department of Corrections (FDC) has issued Invitation to Bid (ITB-14026) for statewide roof maintenance, repair, and replacement services, targeting the selection of separate vendors for each of its four regions. The procurement aims to secure responsible and responsive contractors capable of providing comprehensive roofing solutions including installation, routine maintenance, emergency repairs, and full roof replacements primarily utilizing TPO membrane systems. Contractors must be licensed in Florida, employ certified technicians, and comply with state labor, safety, environmental laws, and security requirements specific to correctional environments. The contract mandates a completion timeframe of 90 days from purchase order issuance, with penalties applied for delays, and requires a minimum one-year warranty on all workmanship beyond manufacturers’ warranties. Bids will be evaluated on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis, emphasizing responsiveness to ITB requirements, responsibility determined by the contractor’s capability, and the lowest grand total price per region. All line items on the required Price Page must be bid for consideration, covering services priced per square foot with separate labor, material, and markup components. The award process incorporates statutory preferences in tie situations, including certified minority business status and drug-free workplace certifications. Vendors must submit multiple mandatory certifications tied to compliance with state laws concerning employment eligibility (E-Verify), drug-free workplaces, scrutinized companies, and forced labor prohibitions, supported by numerous standardized Florida procurement forms and attestations. The procurement includes extensive contract conditions referencing Florida statutes and incorporates the State of Florida General Contract Conditions (PUR 1000) by reference. No packaging, marking, or bar-coding requirements are specified, and invoicing and payments are managed through state systems, with invoices submitted in arrears. Coordination with the Department’s contract manager is required for all deliveries and services performed at various correctional institutions statewide, with detailed service locations and scope outlined in attachments. The contract enforces strict security protocols, background checks for all personnel, bonding requirements including bid bonds and performance bonds, and mandates designated reporting on subcontractor use and minority business expenditures.
