The base bid specifically requires hydro-blasting of the existing roof system, replacement of exposed fasteners, installation of new plumbing vent boots, seam and penetration sealing, and replacement of multiple skylights, including three 8x8 foot, seven 12x12 foot, six 4x4 foot, and one 10x12 foot translucent panels.

While no specific set-aside designations are mentioned, contractors must provide daily worker lists and tool inventories and adhere to secure perimeter access restrictions. The project requires a minimum two-year workmanship warranty for the base bid and a minimum 20-year manufacturer roof warranty for the alternate bid.
