Berkley Schools 2027 Roofing Program

Berkley Schools, a Michigan school district in Macomb County, is soliciting bids for its 2027 Roofing Program, a districtwide roof replacement at three schools, with bids due November 18, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. A mandatory pre-bid meeting was scheduled for November 2, 2026, before that deadline. The solicitation carries no set-aside or preference program. Bidders must meet Davis-Bacon wage requirements, pass criminal background checks, and submit a sworn, notarized disclosure of familial relationships with Board members or the Superintendent.

The scope covers roof replacement at Berkley High School (2325 Catalpa Drive), Pattengill Elementary School (3540 Morrison Avenue), and Angell Elementary School (3849 Beverly Boulevard), with separate base bids for each school and alternate bid options added by Addendum 2. Polyisocyanurate insulation was upgraded from 20 psi to Grade 3 25 psi to meet a 30-year Carlisle warranty requirement, and the roof membrane manufacturer must provide a 30-year no-dollar-limit warranty. Addendum 2 requires a five-year performance guarantee on materials and workmanship, superseding the 18-month warranty in Addendum 1. Contractors must carry $1 million in combined single-limit general liability insurance and obtain all permits and licenses. Subcontractors require district approval and must meet specified experience requirements. Allowances of $31,500 for Berkley High School, $8,500 for Pattengill Elementary School, and $10,000 for Angell Elementary School cover unforeseen roof conditions, with unused amounts credited to the district.

Work runs from June 14, 2027 through August 13, 2027, with substantial completion due August 13, 2027 and final completion thirty days later. Normal hours are 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, with Saturday available as a makeup day. Liquidated damages are $500 per calendar working day for delays past substantial completion. Bid security equals 5% of the bid amount, and the successful bidder must furnish 100% performance and payment bonds within fourteen days of award notification. Bid prices must include labor, materials, freight, discounts, sales tax, permits, licenses, and applicable Davis-Bacon rates. Bids are due at the Berkley Administrative Office, 14501 Talbot, Oak Park, MI 48237, with a public opening immediately following. Bid documents are available through the State of Michigan SIGMA portal and at berkleyschools.org. The Board reserves the right to reject any or all bids and will not accept late submissions.
