2026 Roofing Program

Birmingham Public Schools is seeking bids for its 2026 Roofing Program, a comprehensive roofing replacement project covering four school facilities in Birmingham, Michigan: Derby Middle School, Pierce Elementary School, Quarton Elementary School, and West Maple Elementary School. The procurement involves complete roof system replacements across multiple roof areas, totaling approximately 114,400 square feet, which includes selective demolition, deck repairs, installation of new polyisocyanurate insulation, adhered EPDM membrane roofing, sheet metal flashings, roof drains, and associated site restoration work. The project is divided into two distinct projects: Project #1 covering Derby Middle School and Quarton Elementary School, and Project #2 covering Pierce Elementary School and West Maple Elementary School. A pre-bid meeting was held on October 22, 2025, and sealed bids are due on November 5, 2025, at 1:30 PM EST, with bid opening occurring simultaneously. Bidders must submit a five percent bid bond or certified check, provide three professional references, demonstrate at least five years of documented roofing installation experience, and be authorized by membrane system manufacturers to install products and receive warranty coverage. The contract requires 20-year manufacturer's No Dollar Limit (NDL) warranties, a 5-year contractor's guarantee, and substantial completion targeted for August 14, 2026.

The procurement does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must be licensed contractors in Michigan and provide proof of insurance with $1,000,000 auto liability and $1,000,000 occurrence/$2,000,000 aggregate commercial general liability coverage. Contractors must submit compliance affidavits regarding familial relationships, school safety legislation, and Iran economic sanctions. While no incumbent vendors are identified, the project requires strict coordination with ongoing school operations, including interior protection measures and compliance with local noise ordinances. The bid documents indicate that contracts exceeding $50,000 will require 100 percent performance and labor/material payment bonds from a Michigan-licensed surety. Contract payments will be structured as progress payments with 10 percent retainage, and final payment is contingent upon submission of warranties, insurance certificates, lien waivers, and project closeout documentation. Though specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the roofing replacement across four school facilities suggests a significant project value.
