Barton Malow

Roper Hospital 

Project Description

Roper Hospital has been a cornerstone of downtown Charleston for nearly 170 years, tracing its origins back to 1856 when Colonel Thomas Roper’s bequest established the first Roper Hospital on Queen Street. As South Carolina’s first community hospital, it served generations in the heart of the city. That legacy continued until 2024, when the downtown facility was sold as part of a strategic shift toward a new medical campus in North Charleston.

The site consists of several parcels totaling 27.4 acres and is located along Mall Drive and Lacross Road in Charleston, South Carolina. The site is centrally located within the Roper St. Francis Healthcare system and the Lowcountry region.

The full medical campus relocation consists of a 774,000 sq.ft Hospital, an 80,000 sq.ft Medical Office Building, and (2) Precast Parking Structures. Construction also includes the demolition of five existing buildings, demolition of the existing and installation of new storm water conveyance system, relocation of a cell phone tower, and road improvements. 

Procurement: Understanding Process

  1. Search for Bidders – Project teams review internet databases, owner recommendations and community partner lists for vendors who match upcoming bid packages. 
  2. Outreach Event – Vendors who attend the Outreach Event have the opportunity to meet the Barton Malow team, learn more about the project and connect with potential partners.
  3. Register + Pre-qualify – All vendors interested in bidding on the project must both Register and Pre-qualify. Vendors must register for each project they are interested in bidding.  Vendors pre-qualify their business only once – this step is not required for every project.
  4. Invitation to Bid – Registered and pre-qualified vendors will receive an invitation to bid on the project. This will be sent via email using the Barton Malow online bidding tool, BuildingConnected.
  5. Pre-bid Meeting – Invited bidders have the opportunity to attend a pre-bid meeting where they may ask further questions about the project, working with Barton Malow and the scope of work they have been invited to bid on.  
  6. Bid Day – This is the day all bidders submit their bids for review. Bids must be submitted according to the process and procedures outlined in the materials received with the invitation to bid.
  7. Bid Evaluation – Bids received will be reviewed based on the project’s evaluation criteria.  Bids are evaluated by the community engagement team, construction project team, the owner/client and a neutral compliance party (as applicable).
