DOE ISD Infirmary Roof Replacement

The Iowa Department of Administrative Services (DAS) is seeking bids for a roof replacement project at the Iowa School for the Deaf (ISD) Infirmary Building located in Council Bluffs, Iowa. The procurement involves a comprehensive demolition and replacement of the existing EPDM roofing system, which includes removing the current roof down to the concrete deck, installing a new fully-adhered 60 mil EPDM membrane with R30 polyisocyanurate insulation, replacing sheet metal, installing new retrofit drains, and addressing parapet wall and flashing details. Bidders must submit their proposals electronically through the IMPACS Electronic Procurement System by 2:00 PM on Thursday, April 25, 2024, with a mandatory 5% bid security. An optional pre-bid meeting is scheduled for Friday, April 12, 2024, at 10:00 AM at the project site. The project is anticipated to begin on July 29, 2024, and be completed by August 30, 2024, with a goal of providing a 25-Year Roofing System Limited Warranty covering membrane, roof insulation, and system accessories.

The contract opportunity appears to be open to all qualified contractors, with specific requirements including registration with the Iowa Labor Commissioner and compliance with Federal and State Affirmative Action/Equal Employment Opportunity provisions. Bidders must be prepared to identify all Subcontractors and Suppliers within 48 hours of the bid date and conform to the Iowa State Building Code. The project is exempt from Iowa Sales Tax, and Davis-Bacon Wages will not apply. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the state emphasizes equal opportunity provisions. The bid will remain valid for 30 calendar days after receipt, and the State of Iowa reserves the right to reject any and all bids. Though a specific budget range is not disclosed, the comprehensive nature of the roof replacement project suggests a significant investment in infrastructure maintenance for the Iowa School for the Deaf facility.
