Replace Current Roofing System of a Two-Story House in New Orleans, LA for USCG (REV 1)

Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document provides clarifications and answers to vendor questions regarding the roofing system replacement project.

• Roofing System Removal: Confirms that the SOW requires removal of the entire existing roofing system down to the decking.
• Dormer Damage Repair: Any damage incurred to dormers during the roofing replacement process must be repaired by the contractor to existing conditions, including siding and paint, if it's a typical outcome of flashing replacement.
• Gutter Guards: The project includes the installation of new leaf guards only. The contractor is responsible for replacing the screens with new ones, not the gutters themselves, and existing screens will not be reused.
• Decking Bid: Bidders must account for all decking replacement within their firm fixed price bid, as per Part 2.1 of the SOW, which states "Install new decking as needed up to full replacement."

These clarifications confirm the scope of work for roofing removal, repair of incidental damage, gutter guard replacement, and the requirement to include full decking replacement in the firm fixed price bid. Bidders should ensure their proposals reflect these details.

• Property Details: Year of construction, property type (manufactured, single-family, duplex, townhome), and geocode.
• Eligibility Questions: A series of yes/no questions covering:
  • Home type (manufactured/condo, single-family/duplex/townhome)
  • Foundation type and compliance with minimum requirements
  • Roof framing and deck minimum requirements
  • Presence and type of gutters and gutter guards
  • Attached structures impacting roof details

The questions directly relate to the scope of work and potential complexities of a project.

Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document provides answers to vendor questions regarding the roofing requirements for an unspecified opportunity. A site visit is mandatory, scheduled for February 25th at 1000.

• Roofing Manufacturer: Any manufacturer is acceptable if the product meets the specified criteria (30-year architectural shingles, UL 2218 Class 3 impact rating, IBHS FORTIFIED compliance). Standard workmanship and manufacturer warranties are expected; enhanced warranties are not required.
• Existing Roof Assembly: Spray foam insulation is present, and the attic is considered unconditioned. Product warranties should not be limited by this condition.
• IBHS FORTIFIED Compliance: The required designation is 'Roof'. A third-party evaluator has completed the initial inspection, and the USCG will submit documentation through them. Contractors must work with the inspector and utilize the Company Cam program for documentation.
• Flashing and Edge Metal: Metal drip edge must be a minimum 26-gauge steel, extending ½” below sheathing and 2’ back on the roof deck. All other flashing must be new. Fastening patterns and wind resistance should adhere to the FORTIFIED Hurricane 2025 standard.

These clarifications provide specific details on material requirements, warranty expectations, compliance levels, and installation standards, which bidders must incorporate into their proposals.
