Portage County MRF Roof Replacement- Fully Adhered

Portage County, Wisconsin, through its Purchasing Department, is seeking bids for a comprehensive roof replacement project at the Material Recovery Facility located in Plover. The procurement involves removing the existing roof and installing a new fully adhered roof system on two distinct roof sections, measuring approximately 95' by 80' and 127' by 64'. Bidders must demonstrate a minimum of five years of roofing business experience and provide three references from similar projects completed within the past three years. The specifications require a minimum 60 mil rubber fully adhered roof system with 1-inch ISO board secured by screws, comprehensive replacement of flashings and wall caps, drain adjustments, and existing ballast rock disposal. Bid submissions were due by 2:00 PM on May 30, 2019, with a non-mandatory pre-bid site visit available by contacting Amanda Haffele. Written questions regarding specifications were required to be submitted by May 22, 2019, to Calvin Winters, Procurement Director, with responses to be issued via official addenda. The county will award the contract to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, with evaluation criteria including life cycle costs, energy efficiency, acquisition, transportation, warranties, and maintenance.

The solicitation does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent organizations. Bidders are required to maintain a minimum one million dollar combined single limit commercial liability insurance policy issued by an AM Best A+ rated carrier, with 30-day cancellation notice and worker's compensation coverage as mandated by Wisconsin statutes. The awarded contractor will be expected to provide a 20-year no dollar limit warranty covering all labor and materials. Progress payments will include a five percent retainage for projects exceeding $1,000 with construction time greater than 30 days, with retainage reduced to zero after 50 percent completion unless work performance is deemed unsatisfactory. While the specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive roof replacement project suggests a significant investment in infrastructure maintenance and improvement. The contract will be executed electronically through DocuSign upon award, with bid pricing required to remain firm for 45 calendar days following the bid opening.
