The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Benefits Administration intends to award one (1) firm-fixed price contract for the roof repair requirement. Bids over $100,000 must include a bid bond. Successful offeror(s) will be required to be actively registered in System for Award Management (SAM), upon submission of proposal. Due to the urgent need of roof repairs, if vendors are not active in SAM, this could be a reason for non-responsiveness. Offeror(s) not already registered in the SAM database are highly encouraged to register via internet at www.sam.gov.

Vendors must be listed in the Vetbiz.gov Vendor Information Pages at www.vetbiz.gov and be CVE certified. SCOPE OF WORK The St. Petersburg Regional Office's current roof is in a deteriorating condition. The area of concern is the roof area around the skylight, and the numerous equipment penetrations through the roof. Correction is needed of the negative roof deck slope that directs water towards the base of the skylight. Per current recommendations of the National Roofing Contractors Association, standing seam metal roofs should have a minimum positive drainage slope of ½" per foot of run. Upon review of the original building plans and details, a positive drainage slope of minimum ¼" per foot of run was indicated for the metal roof deck. While on six of the eight skylight sides the roof does appear to have a positive drainage slope away to the building perimeter, the two problematic areas do not. The decking appears to have been subject to excessive deflection between the purlin support elements directly at the skylight perimeter, resulting in a permanent bending of the deck surface and resultant ponding of water at the skylight base. While it may be possible to reverse the deck deflection from beneath (via the interstitial space between metal deck and concrete roof deck), spray is required on polyurethane to metal decking atop the existing to provide the required positive slope. Above ceiling drywall repair: Provide dust shield for office area. Removal necessary ceiling grid and tiles. Remove damaged drywall in the locations identified in the walk thru" Rm. 308". Inspect framing for damage. Replace drywall / ceiling grid. Paint area. Paints shall be Sherman Williams or equal the walls shall be painted with SW 7042.
