Building 20 (WVCI) Roof Replacement

The West Virginia Department of Administration Purchasing Division is conducting a Centralized Request for Quote (CRFQ) for a comprehensive roof replacement project at Building 20 of the West Virginia Correctional Industries (WVCI) located at 617 Leon Sullivan Way in Charleston, Kanawha County. The procurement, identified by solicitation number CRFQ 0211 GSD2600000004, seeks qualified vendors to perform a complete roof replacement with specific technical requirements including work on HVAC mechanical units, condensate lines, and pipe supports, all requiring compliance with current building codes. A mandatory pre-bid meeting was held on August 20, 2025, at 11:00 am, with technical questions due by August 26, 2025, at 12:00 pm, and final bids are scheduled for submission by September 3, 2025, at 1:30 pm EST. Vendors were required to attend the pre-bid meeting to remain eligible and must submit bids directly to the Bid Clerk at the Department of Administration Purchasing Division in Charleston, WV. The primary contact for this procurement is Tara Lyle, reachable at tara.l.lyle@wv.gov or (304) 558-2544, who will oversee the bidding process and provide additional information as needed.

The procurement falls under the West Virginia Jobs Act, which applies to state-funded public improvement projects with costs equal to or exceeding $500,000, potentially creating opportunities for local and regional contractors. Multiple roofing and construction firms attended the pre-bid meeting, including Almost Heaven Roofing, EDS Home and Commercial, Hash's Construction, Tim-Star Roofing, Eskola LLC, and AAR, indicating potential competitive interest. Instead of a traditional maintenance bond, the project will rely on specific warranties detailed in exhibits G, H, and I of the solicitation documents. While specific budget ranges were not explicitly outlined in the available documentation, the comprehensive nature of the roof replacement suggests a significant investment in infrastructure improvement. The project requires vendors to demonstrate technical capabilities in metal roofing installation, weekend and after-hours work potential, and compliance with state procurement regulations. Bidders must acknowledge all addenda, including Addendum No. 1 and Addendum No. 2, which provided clarifications and responses to technical questions, to remain eligible for contract consideration.
