Metal Roof Installation on the CXT at Middle Bass Island State Park

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) is seeking a qualified vendor to perform a metal roof installation project at Middle Bass Island State Park, located in Putnam County. The specific scope of work involves installing 2x4 roof purlins over an existing concrete roof, implementing a Gallery 28-gauge Parallel Rib style metal roof system fastened with 1" screws, and installing new flashing boots around vent pipes. The vendor will be responsible for complete project management, including demolition, site clean-up, permit acquisition, and material procurement. Bidders are required to provide two examples of similar completed projects with photographs, references, and contact information, and must participate in a pre-award meeting with DNR staff to ensure mutual understanding of project specifications. The project is scheduled for completion by September 5, 2025, with a bid submission deadline of July 25, 2025. Potential bidders are encouraged to conduct a site visit prior to submitting a bid, with contact available through Andrea Tibbles at Andrea.Tibbles@dnr.ohio.gov or (419)764-4365. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with evaluation criteria focused on project experience, technical capability, and compliance with project requirements.

The procurement is specifically designated as a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) set-aside in accordance with Ohio Revised Code 125.081, which indicates preferences for minority-owned businesses. All equipment used on-site must be free of sediment and debris to minimize invasive species introduction, and any timber matting must be new and unused. Vendors must comply with strict equipment and material standards, including ensuring all on-site equipment is clean and free from external contaminants. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the project will be funded through Ohio's standard procurement process, with invoicing handled through Ohio's Financial Shared Services (FSS). The Purchase Order for this project is valid only through June 30, 2026, meaning any services extending beyond that date will require a new Purchase Order. Contractors must also be prepared to adhere to comprehensive state contract terms, including provisions related to worker's compensation, ethics law compliance, and potential restrictions on offshore services.
