Public Safety Green Roof Replacement Project

The City of Auburn Hills is seeking qualified commercial roofing contractors to replace the green roof at the Public Safety Building located at 1899 N. Squirrel Road. This Invitation to Bid (ITB) requires contractors to completely remove existing vegetation, media, pavers, and planters down to the concrete decking, and install a new HPR Modified Bitumen roof system. The project involves comprehensive roofing services, including removing the current roof membrane, checking substrate condition, and installing new roofing materials with associated flashings and copings. Mandatory project requirements include utilizing the Omnia Partners Purchasing Contract for material procurement, primarily through Garland Inc., and submitting detailed bid documentation including a 5% bid bond, material quantity addendum, and subcontractor disclosure forms. Key evaluation criteria will encompass contractor qualifications, experience with comparable projects, cost proposal, and written warranties. Critical project dates include a site visit on February 13, 2025, with sealed bids due February 26, 2025, at 10:00 AM, and a targeted project completion date of November 1, 2025.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged business enterprises. Contractors must meet comprehensive qualification standards, including being duly licensed, providing three business references, and maintaining substantial insurance coverage, including $1,000,000 in general liability and a $4,000,000 commercial umbrella policy. While no incumbent vendor is identified, the project requires contractors to integrate with existing infrastructure and coordinate with city personnel for preliminary work such as removing planter boxes and handling electrical disconnects. The successful bidder will be required to provide a two-year workmanship warranty and secure performance and payment bonds. Although a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the city reserves the right to assess a $300 per day penalty for project delays and will award the contract based on best value rather than lowest price. Contractors will be expected to propose their own project start date and duration, with the understanding that the entire project must be completed by November 1, 2025.
