The Texas Historical Commission (THC) has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking a qualified roofing restoration company to undertake a comprehensive roof replacement project at the Slaton Harvey House State Historic Site, located at 400 Railroad Avenue, Slaton, TX 79364. This procurement is focused on restoring the roof of a historically significant building, ensuring both structural integrity and preservation of its architectural features in accordance with established historic standards.
The scope of work encompasses the full replacement of the existing asphalt roof, which currently lacks tiles or shingles, and includes distinctive elements such as a flat upper-story parapet adorned with the Santa Fe Railway company symbol and a stepped parapet on the arcaded trackside pavilion. The building also features deep overhanging eaves supported by decorative brackets, all of which must be carefully preserved and restored. The contractor will be responsible for identifying and repairing all active leaks, addressing any structural deficiencies, and applying a high-performance coating or sealant system to achieve a fully watertight and warrantied roof assembly.
All roof materials and associated sheet metal flashing are to be replaced with new materials. The selected vendor must conduct a thorough assessment of site conditions, deficiencies, and necessary repairs, and collaborate closely with the project manager and architect to obtain approval prior to replacing any roof materials. Given the historic nature of the site, all work must strictly adhere to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties, as well as the relevant provisions of the Texas Government Code and THC’s Construction Services Rules and Procedures.
To be eligible for contract award, vendors must demonstrate a minimum of five years’ documented experience in roof restoration projects for historic buildings of similar type, scale, and scope. This experience will be evaluated by THC to ensure the contractor’s capability to meet the project’s specialized requirements and safety standards.
Several key requirements are associated with this solicitation:
- A Bid Bond is mandatory and must be submitted with the proposal at the time of opening; failure to do so will render the proposal non-responsive.
