GGC J-449-DB, Building B-Roof Replacement

The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (on behalf of Georgia Gwinnett College) is seeking a qualified design‑build team to replace the roof of Building B. The existing custom standing‑seam aluminum roof has deteriorated, and the project will install a protective membrane, isolation panels, and decorative batten strips to preserve the building’s distinctive appearance. The design‑build contractor must provide design, pre‑construction, construction management, and commissioning services, and must meet bonding, insurance, licensing, and safety requirements. The guaranteed maximum price is estimated at $3.31 M, with a preliminary cost limit of $2.94 M. The schedule calls for design‑build services to begin Fall 2026, construction documents by Summer 2027, and construction start contingent on funding. The process includes a qualifications phase (deadline 9/8/26) followed by a fee‑proposal and interview phase (site visit 9/22/26, fee deadline 10/6/26). • Design‑build delivery for roof replacement of a 106,000 GSF building. • Scope includes membrane installation, isolation panels, decorative batten strips, and full construction management. • Minimum qualifications: bonding capacity, GA GC license, insurance, cash‑flow ratio ≥ 1.0, EMR ≤ 1.2, no debarments. • Budget: GMP ≈ $3.31 M; SCL ≈ $2.94 M. • Schedule: Design‑build start Fall 2026; construction documents Summer 2027; construction start TBD. • Mandatory pre‑proposal site visit on 9/22/26; questions due 9/1/26; qualifications due 9/8/26. • Evaluation factors: firm stability (25 %), relevant experience (45 %), suitability/resources (30 %).
