INS130 Replace Hail Damaged Roofs McCandless VCLC AFB

The State of Colorado Department of Human Services is soliciting competitive bids for the replacement of hail-damaged roofs at the Bruce McCandless Veterans Community Living Center (VCLC) in Florence, Colorado, within Pueblo County. This is an Invitation for Bids (IFB) and Advertisement for Bids (AFB) procurement seeking removal and replacement of existing shingle roof areas damaged during a June 2024 hailstorm on both the main facility and training building. The scope of work includes roof replacement using Like Kind and Quality (LKQ) materials matching pre-existing roof specifications, with detailed measurements documented in the Eagle View Roof Measurement Report showing 46,787 square feet of roof area across 34 facets with varying pitches (primarily 2/12 pitch at 82.9 percent), 91 penetrations totaling 743 square feet, and significant linear measurements including 1,039 feet of ridges, 313 feet of valleys, and 2,029 feet of eaves. Bidders must submit one comprehensive PDF bid package by March 11, 2026, at 1:00 PM via box.com, with a public virtual bid opening at 2:00 PM the same day; a mandatory pre-bid conference and site tour is scheduled for February 25, 2026, at 10:30 AM at 903 Moore Drive, Florence, CO 81226. Minimum qualifications require bidders to have been in business for two years under the same name, demonstrate experience on at least two similar projects exceeding $750,000 in hard costs, possess bonding capability up to $1,000,000, and attend the mandatory pre-bid conference. Bidders must submit a bid bond and power of attorney of no less than 5 percent of the total bid, with the awarded contractor securing payment and performance bonds of at least 50 percent of the contract value. The awarded contractor must provide a two-year workmanship warranty in addition to manufacturer warranties, and all questions from bidders must be submitted by March 2, 2026, at 10:00 AM to Jamie Gott at jamie.gott@state.co.us.

This procurement is subject to Colorado prevailing wage rates and the Buy Clean Colorado (BCCO) Act due to the estimated project value of $562,000 exceeding the $500,000 threshold, requiring submission of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for eligible materials. Colorado labor must constitute at least 80 percent of the work performed on this project. Bidders may propose the originally specified TAMKO and GAF shingles meeting LKQ standards, with Owens Corning Class 3 and Class 4 shingles accepted as alternatives; however, any upgrade to higher-grade Class 4 hail-resistant shingles will not be covered by insurance, and bidders must obtain two separate quotes if proposing upgraded options, with the cost differential being the responsibility of the requesting office. No incumbent vendor or current contractor is identified in the procurement documents, and the project is supported by insurance coverage for the LKQ roof replacement. The anticipated award notification is scheduled for March 16, 2026, with contract execution expected in March/April 2026 and construction anticipated between April and May 2026. The estimated project budget is $562,000, which establishes the baseline for cost evaluations and contract performance bonds. The State reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and assumes no responsibility for bidder preparation costs, with all submittals becoming the property of the State and not subject to return.
