About this opportunity
The Department of Energy seeks qualified roofing contractors to replace existing built-up roofs at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) on four buildings: C50 ESAT Building, C52 PLT Power Building, C60 C Site Pump House, and D45 Rad Waste Handling Facility. The contractor must provide complete roof replacement services including demolition of existing membranes, insulation, and trim; installation of two layers of 2.6-inch ISO insulation, one-half-inch HD coverboard, and 145-mil Carlisle Fleeceback EPDM membrane; and installation of new roof drains, gutters, scuppers, and perimeter guardrails. All work must comply with PPPL's Integrated Safety Management Plan, OSHA standards, and environmental requirements, with work performed during normal business hours (7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, Monday through Friday) unless otherwise approved. Proposals are due by February 27, 2026, and must include both bundled pricing for all four buildings and separate phased pricing for each individual building. Prospective bidders must submit a bid bond or certified check equal to at least 20% of the total proposed price, and the awarded contractor will be required to provide performance and payment bonds each equal to 100% of the subcontract price within ten calendar days of award.
This is a full and open competition procurement with no set-aside designation, using NAICS Code 238160 (Roofing Contractors) with a small business size standard of $19.0 million in annual sales. The project encompasses approximately 20,008 square feet of roofing work across the four buildings, with no current incumbent contractor identified in the solicitation materials. Award value and budget information have not been disclosed in the available solicitation documents. The Construction Wage Rate Requirements Statute applies to this work, requiring the contractor to provide employees with wages and benefits no less than those specified in the latest U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination Decision and to submit weekly certified payroll reports. Work will be performed at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, located at 100 Stellarator Road, James Forrestal Campus, Princeton, New Jersey 08543, with all personnel requiring REAL ID-compliant identification and safety training clearance before site access.
