The Maryland State Highway Administration is seeking bids for a roof repair project at the I-95 North Bound Visitor Center Building located in Laurel, Maryland. This Invitation for Bids (IFB) requires a comprehensive roof replacement, including complete removal of the existing tapered roof assembly and plywood roof deck, followed by installation of a new heat-welded single ply PVC roofing system with associated membrane flashings and sealants. Bidders must demonstrate three years of roofing services experience and provide three references from the past five years. The procurement will be evaluated based on the lowest responsive and responsible bid price, with a contract duration of 30 days from award, subject to potential weather-related extensions. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for January 22, 2025, at 10:00 A.M. at the visitor center building, with bidder questions due by January 27, 2025, and final bids required by January 31, 2025, at 2:00 P.M.

This procurement is designated as a Small Business Reserve (SBR) contract, initially limiting participation to certified small business vendors, though this designation may be removed if insufficient small business interest is demonstrated. The contract requires bidders to carry $1 million in commercial general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage. No specific Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) or Veteran-Owned Small Business Enterprise (VSBE) participation goals are established for this project. The contract will be a fixed-price arrangement with potential cost adjustments. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated in the documentation, the scope of work suggests a moderate-scale roofing infrastructure replacement project typical of state-level facilities maintenance contracts.
