A mandatory site visit is scheduled for June 9, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. at 200 Mero Street, Frankfort, with contractors meeting at the back loading dock.

The scope covers selective roof overlay and full roof replacement across approximately 126,000 square feet of roof area (designated zones A through GG). Work includes removal of existing roof deck in replacement areas and reconstruction with rigid insulation, tapered insulation (for positive drainage including crickets and saddles), and 1/2" cover board; cold-applied 2-ply SBS-modified bituminous protected membrane installation; retention or replacement of aluminum and pre-finished metal coping caps; and new stainless steel expansion joint flashings. Three manufacturers are approved: Siplast Inc., Soprema, and Elevate (formerly Firestone Building Products). All roofing components must be sourced from the same manufacturer or an approved equivalent.

The manufacturer must provide a 20-year No Dollar Limit Total Systems Warranty covering wind speeds up to 72 mph; the roofing installer must provide a separate 2-year warranty from final completion. A preinstallation roofing conference with the Owner, Architect, installer, and manufacturer's representative is mandatory prior to work commencement. Qualified manufacturer site representatives must inspect substrate, surface preparation, and membrane application during base sheet and prior to cap sheet installation, and conduct final inspection with written report upon completion.

All bids must be submitted electronically through the Commonwealth's eProcurement system; postal mail, email, and hand delivery are not accepted. Vendors must register in the Vendor Self Service System at https://vss.ky.gov (24 to 48 hours required). Official Bid Document and Bid Bond (if required) must be combined as a single PDF.
