Communications Building Roof Replacement Project

Kenosha County, Wisconsin is seeking bids for the Communications Building Roof Replacement Project (RFB 2524), which involves removing the existing roof system and installing a new roofing system at 19600 75th Street, Bristol. The procurement offers two primary roofing alternatives: an Adhered EPDM Roof System and a Modified Bitumen Roof System, both covering approximately 700 square feet. Bidders must demonstrate a minimum of 15 years of experience in roof installation and provide a comprehensive five-year warranty for workmanship and materials. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for October 21st, 2025, at 10:00 AM at the Kenosha County Center, with sealed bids due on November 4th, 2025, at 1:00 PM. Contractors must submit a Vendor Responsibility Form by October 30th, 2025, and include a bid bond equivalent to 5% of the total bid price. Evaluation criteria will likely include vendor qualifications, technical specifications compliance, warranty offerings, and proposed installation methodology. The project is expected to be substantially completed by May 30th, 2026, with contract award anticipated on November 15th, 2025.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. Bidders must provide comprehensive documentation, including references from similar projects, proof of insurance coverage (commercial general liability, automobile liability, and workers' compensation), and compliance with ethical and non-discrimination standards. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the project specifications emphasize working with The Garland Company as the basis of design. The bid documents require contractors to integrate with existing building infrastructure, including carefully managing electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems during roof replacement. Insurance requirements include specific coverage limits, and contractors must navigate complex technical specifications involving multiple roofing system standards (ASTM, NRCA, SMACNA, and FM Global). Though a specific budget range is not disclosed, the comprehensive technical requirements and two-alternate approach suggest a significant capital investment for the roof replacement project.
