New roof installation at Highlandtown Wildlife Area

The Ohio Division of Wildlife is seeking a contractor to complete a new roof installation at the Highlandtown Wildlife Area Shop/Office Building located in Salineville, Ohio. The project involves a comprehensive roof replacement for a 4,400 square foot building (100 feet long by 22 feet wide), which requires complete removal of the existing roof and installation of a new roofing system using Owens Corning materials. Specific technical requirements include removing the current roof, inspecting and replacing damaged wood, installing ice and water shield, new drip edge, synthetic underlayment, dimensional shingles with storm nail technology for high wind resistance, ridge vents, and new boot flashing. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on a low lot total calculation, with a mandatory project completion deadline of October 31, 2025. Potential bidders are strongly encouraged to conduct a site visit prior to submitting a bid and must contact Bryan Kay at 330-679-2201 for coordination. The final bid submission is due by July 22, 2025, and will require a signed Standard Affirmation & Disclosure Form.

The contract opportunity appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though the standard Ohio contracting documents suggest preferences for Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Executive Diversity, Growth and Equity (EDGE) vendors. Contractors must comply with Ohio ethics laws, maintain current business licenses, and adhere to state contracting regulations. While a specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the roof replacement suggests a moderate-sized project for a state facility. The contractor will be responsible for all debris removal and cannot use the facility's dumpster, and the final shingle color will be determined after contract award. Invoicing will be processed through Ohio Shared Services, and the successful bidder will be required to complete a final inspection with a Division of Wildlife employee to confirm contract compliance. Contractors must also confirm they will not provide offshore services and must complete an Independent Contractor/Worker Acknowledgment form with the Ohio Public Employees Retirement System.
