Buffalo Central Terminal - Bid Package #4 (Roofing)

The Buffalo Central Terminal Restoration Project, specifically Bid Package #4 for Roofing, is a comprehensive historic restoration contract issued by Erie County and the Central Terminal Restoration Corporation. The procurement seeks a qualified roofing contractor to perform extensive roof renovation work across multiple sections of the historic Buffalo Central Terminal, located at 495 Paderewski Drive in Buffalo, NY. The project involves complete roof demolition, selective salvage of architectural elements, and installation of new roofing systems including PVC, SBS modified bituminous membranes, and metal roofing across various levels including L1, L2, L5 office areas, concourse, penthouse, and tower roofs. A mandatory pre-bid walkthrough is scheduled for March 17th, 2025, at 10:00 AM, with electronic bids due by 3:00 PM on March 31st, 2025. Contractors must adhere to the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Historic Properties, verify existing conditions, protect historic elements, and coordinate closely with the architectural team. The roofing work is scheduled between March 2025 and October 2026, with specific timelines for different roof sections.

The contract includes Minority-Owned and Women-Owned Business Enterprise (M/WBE) sub-contracting goals of 15% each, with no specific goals for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned or Disadvantaged Business enterprises. Weaver Roofing is noted as a business that has been awarded a similar contract within the past five years. The project is partially funded through a grant from the NYS Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation and requires contractors to register with the New York State Department of Labor. Asbestos sampling has revealed the presence of asbestos-containing materials in various roof sections, which must be professionally addressed during renovation. The roofing system will include a 20-year manufacturer's warranty and requires specific installation guidelines and quality control measures. While a specific award value is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the restoration and multi-phase approach suggests a significant investment in preserving this historically significant terminal.
