2025 Roofing Replacement Program: City Hall & Hannah Community Center

The City of East Lansing is seeking qualified roofing contractors to complete a comprehensive roof replacement program for two municipal facilities: City Hall and Hannah Community Center. The project involves removing existing roof systems and installing new roofing across approximately 18,850 square feet, with two distinct base bids targeting different roof areas. Bidders must provide complete labor, materials, equipment, and services to execute the project according to specified technical requirements, including installing single-ply EPDM roofing membranes, insulation, and sheet metal flashings. The procurement solicits formal bids with a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for October 9, 2024, at 11:00 AM at the Hannah Community Center, and proposals are due on October 23, 2024, at 2:00 PM. Evaluation criteria will include technical capabilities, pricing, and compliance with local purchasing preference policies, with bidders required to submit a 5% bid bond and demonstrate capability to meet project specifications.

The contract appears open to all qualified roofing contractors without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged businesses. Contractors must provide a 20-year manufacturer's No Dollar Limit warranty and a 5-year contractor's guarantee, indicating stringent performance expectations. The project is divided into two base bids with potential alternate bid items, including options for membrane thickness and cover board specifications. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the roof replacement suggests a significant capital investment. Work is scheduled to begin in spring 2025, with substantial completion targeted for May 23, 2025, for the Hannah Community Center and June 6, 2025, for City Hall. Prevailing wage rates will apply, and contractors must demonstrate technical expertise in roof system replacement across various deck types including metal, gypsum, and concrete.
