RFB-51-26 DMA Walton Roof Replacement

The Commonwealth of Kentucky's Department of Military Affairs (DMA) has issued a Request for Bid (RFB-51-26) for a comprehensive roof replacement project at the Walton National Guard Armory located in Bell County. The procurement solicits a qualified contractor to perform a complete roof system replacement for an approximately 11,100 square foot facility, which includes 8,900 square feet of recover roof system and 2,200 square feet of new two-ply roof system. Specific project requirements include removing the existing roof down to the deck, installing a new Two-ply SBS Modified Asphalt roof system with rigid board insulation and cover board, and replacing metal coping caps, gutters, downspouts, and flashings. A mandatory site visit was scheduled for August 21, 2025, at 10:00 AM Eastern Time, and electronic bids must be submitted through the Commonwealth's eProcurement system by September 5, 2025, at 1:30 PM. Bidders are required to be registered in the Kentucky Vendor Self Service (VSS) system and must submit all documents electronically as a single PDF, including the Official Bid Document and Bid Bond.

There are no explicit set-aside designations or restrictions mentioned for disadvantaged enterprises in this solicitation. The project does require contractors to use a single manufacturer's warrantable roofing system and integrate findings from an infrared roof inspection that identified approximately 1,500 square feet of wet insulation. An infrared roof scan conducted on April 23, 2025, revealed specific thermal anomalies that must be addressed during the roof replacement. While no incumbent vendor is specified, contractors must adhere to strict technical specifications, including re-using the existing stainless steel expansion joint curb at wall-to-roof conditions. Project documents are available at no cost through the State of Kentucky Plan Room website, with a public bid reading scheduled via conference call on the bid opening date at 2:30 PM Eastern Time. Though a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the roof replacement suggests a significant capital investment for the facility's infrastructure improvement.
