PWC Barkcamp Slate Barn Roof

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) is seeking bids for slate roof repairs at Barkcamp State Park located in Belmont County. The project involves repairing a historic barn's roof, which requires replacing approximately 40 slate roofing pieces, installing new powder-coated or painted steel flashings, replacing ridge roll/ridge flashings, and updating downspouts, gutters, and lightning rod systems. Bidders must participate in a mandatory site visit coordinated with Park Manager Jason Carpenter before submitting proposals. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder by line item, with work permitted only during specific timeframes of April 1 - May 16 or August 1 - October 14 to minimize environmental impact on bat populations. The proposal is due by March 7, 2025, with the contract period extending through June 30, 2025. Contractors must submit invoices to Financial Shared Services following specific formatting requirements.

The procurement includes several state preference designations, with potential additional percentage points for qualifying businesses: Buy American (5%), Buy Ohio (2%), and Veteran-Friendly Business (2%). Vendors must complete an Affirmation and Disclosure Form confirming compliance with Executive Orders regarding offshore services and data storage restrictions. All contractors must register through OH|ID on the OhioBuys procurement platform and maintain minimum insurance coverage of $1 million for commercial general liability, automobile liability, and workers' compensation. The state requires contractors to comply with Ohio ethics laws and obtain approval for any subcontractors. While a specific budget range is not disclosed, the project involves specialized historic preservation roofing work that will likely require contractors with expertise in slate roof restoration and experience working on state park historical structures. Contractors must also be prepared to adhere to strict data security protocols and potentially undergo audits to ensure compliance with state procurement regulations.
