Library Wing Roof Replacement

Bergen Community College is seeking electronic bids for a comprehensive Library Wing Roof Replacement project at its Pitkin Education Center campus located in Paramus, New Jersey. The procurement is a public bid (No. P-2418) involving a complete tear-off and replacement of the existing roof system at Ender Hall, including removal of current roofing materials, installation of new tapered polyisocyanurate insulation with recovery board, and multi-ply roofing using heat-welded sheet materials. Key deliverables include wall flashings, edge details, and curb flashings, with an optional Add Alternate #1 for skylight panel replacement. The project requires bidders to demonstrate substantial technical capabilities, including providing a 25-Year No Dollar Limit non-prorated warranty from the material supplier. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for December 15, 2025, at 10 a.m. in Room A-231, with electronic bid submissions due by 10:00 a.m. on January 21, 2026, through the Euna-Bonfire online bidding platform. Evaluation criteria will focus on the lowest responsible and complying bidder, with a contract anticipated to be awarded at the February 2026 Board of Trustees meeting.

The contract requires strict compliance with various New Jersey state regulations, including equal employment opportunity requirements, public works contractor registration, and prevailing wage standards. Bidders must submit multiple compliance documents, including a 10% bid bond, performance bonds covering 100% of the contract price, business registration certificates, and proof of insurance with specified minimum coverage limits. There are no explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises mentioned in the documentation. The project budget includes a $130,000 contingency allowance for unforeseen items, with monthly progress payments featuring a 10% retainage that may reduce to 5% after 50% completion certification. Liquidated damages are set at $200 per day for each consecutive calendar day of delay beyond the 120-day contract period. The project will be funded through Bergen Community College's capital budget, with the college reserving the right to reject any or all bids and waive any bidding process informalities.
