Berkley Schools 2027 Roofing Program

Berkley Schools is soliciting sealed bids for its 2027 Roofing Program, covering reroofing at Angell Elementary School, Pattengill Elementary School, and Berkley High School in Berkley, Michigan. Bids are due 1:00 p.m. on November 18, 2026 at the district's Administrative Office. The mandatory pre-bid meeting and roof walks took place November 2, 2026, and Addendum 1, issued November 10, 2026, is the current revision.

Each school is a separate line item, so contractors may bid individual schools, and the district anticipates awarding to multiple contractors. Bidders must demonstrate at least five years of successful experience on comparable projects. Each bid requires a sworn, notarized familial-relationship disclosure and Iran Economic Sanctions Act certification.

Scope includes roof removal, deck repair and replacement, underlayment, insulation, cover board, and asphalt shingle and 90 mil fully-adhered EPDM roof systems with sheet metal flashings and sealants, backed by a 30-year manufacturer warranty. Addendum 1 raises polyisocyanurate insulation from 20 psi to Grade 3 25 psi in sections 072221 and 072223, adds roof ladders and flashing details, and removes Roof Area E at Pattengill. Required items include Davis-Bacon wage rates with certified payroll, a 5% bid bond, performance and payment bonds equal to 100% of the contract sum, $1 million general liability per occurrence, criminal background checks for on-site personnel under the Michigan School Safety Initiative, and an 18-month contractor warranty. Bids must include interior protection for Berkley High School gym floors, stands, and equipment.

Base bids must include allowances of $10,000 at Angell, $8,500 at Pattengill, and $31,500 at Berkley High, with unused amounts credited back to the district. Work may begin no earlier than June 14, 2027, with substantial completion by August 13, 2027, final completion 30 days later, and about 45 workdays allotted. Liquidated damages are $500 per calendar working day beyond substantial completion. Work is limited to Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., with Saturday available as a makeup day and no Sunday work. Contract award is anticipated at the December 2026 Board of Education meeting.
