Proposal: 2025 water plant roof replacement project

The City of Cortez in Colorado is seeking proposals for the 2025 Water Plant Roof Replacement Project, located at 27999 County Road N in Dolores. The procurement involves fully removing and replacing the existing roof on the media filter building with a comprehensive roofing solution that includes a 20-year NDL Manufacturer Warranty. Specific deliverables include installing new coverboard, tapered insulation with R-38 equivalent performance, a 60 MIL TPO membrane, coping cap metal, roof drains, parapet caps, and edge flashing. Mandatory site visits are scheduled for Friday, June 13, 2025, and Tuesday, June 17, 2025, both at 10:30 AM, with sealed proposals due by 3:00 PM on Friday, June 27, 2025. The evaluation criteria will comprehensively assess technical approach, past performance, project management capabilities, staffing, safety record, and job standards. Bidders must demonstrate specific qualifications, including substantial roofing contracting experience, a minimum of $1 million in insurance coverage, and the ability to provide performance and payment bonds. The projected Notice of Award is set for July 9, 2025, with a project completion timeline of 60 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed.

The solicitation includes local vendor preference provisions, offering a 2.5% preference for businesses located within Cortez city limits and a 2.0% preference for businesses in Montezuma County, with these preferences capped at $25,000. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the procurement appears open to qualified roofing contractors meeting the specified requirements. Liquidated damages are established at $300 per day for late completion, and the city reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and potentially award multiple contracts. Though a specific budget range is not detailed in the provided documentation, the comprehensive scope of work suggests a significant capital investment in infrastructure improvement. The city maintains flexibility in the procurement process, indicating a preference for comprehensive and technically sound proposals that demonstrate capability, experience, and adherence to high professional standards in roofing system replacement.
