Barn Roof Fallsville Wildlife Area

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife is seeking bids for a comprehensive roof replacement project at the Fallsville Wildlife Area Headquarters in New Vienna, Ohio. The procurement involves completely renovating an 80'X40' pole barn's roofing system, with specific requirements including installation of 28-gauge white steel panel roofing, white seamless gutters and downspouts, vented soffit, snow guards, and new fascia boards. Contractors must remove existing metal roof components, replace downspouts, and install new eave vents, with all work to be completed within 90 days of the executed purchase order. The bidding process is being conducted through the Ohio Buys procurement platform, with proposals due by close of business on Friday, August 8, 2025. Bidders are required to separately itemize labor and materials for each of the 11 specified project components and must obtain necessary work permits and contact Ohio Utility Protection Services prior to commencing work.

The contract opportunity appears to have specific requirements for contractor qualifications, including compliance with Ohio ethics laws, equal employment opportunity standards, and potential utilization of Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Executive Diversity, Growth and Equity (EDGE) vendors. Contractors must affirm they are not boycotting jurisdictions with whom Ohio maintains open trade and must disclose their principal business location and service performance sites. While specific award value is not explicitly stated, the contract is contingent on Ohio General Assembly appropriations, which could impact funding availability. The procurement includes standard insurance requirements, with contractors needing to maintain Commercial General Liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence), Automobile Liability, and Workers' Compensation insurance. Additional compliance requirements include restrictions on offshore services and potential termination if services are moved outside the United States without prior approval.
