Gutter removal, Disposal and New Gutter and Gutter Guard Installation

The Ohio Department of Veteran Services, specifically the Ohio Veterans Home in Georgetown (OVH-G), is seeking bids for a comprehensive gutter replacement project located at 2003 Veterans Blvd in Georgetown, OH. The procurement involves complete gutter removal, disposal, and new gutter and gutter guard installation, covering approximately 2,560 linear feet of gutters and 75 down spouts. Contractors must submit an itemized proposal on company letterhead and demonstrate the ability to perform high-quality work that meets or exceeds industry standards. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for October 28, 2025, at 10:00 am, with attendance being a critical requirement for bid eligibility; failure to attend will render a supplier's proposal non-responsive. The bid is due by November 5, 2025, and will be evaluated based on objective criteria including experience, qualifications, cost, and technical compatibility. The contract is expected to run from the date of signing until June 30, 2026, or until project completion.

The procurement appears to have potential preferences for domestic and veteran-owned businesses, as evidenced by the Certification Statement form which allows bidders to claim preferences for Domestic Source End Products, Ohio-based economic activity, and Veteran Friendly Business Enterprise (VBE) status. Contractors must complete an Affirmative Action Plan, provide a Certificate of Liability Insurance, and comply with ADA and OSHA standards, drug-free workplace policies, and potential random drug testing. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the contract includes provisions for detailed invoicing with breakdowns of labor hours, rates, and material costs. Potential bidders must also complete an Affirmation and Disclosure Form, which requires comprehensive disclosure of business locations, service performance locations, and any locations where state data will be accessed or stored. The state reserves the right to terminate the contract if services are performed outside the United States without a signed waiver.
