RFP026-12 meriden public library roof weatherization

The City of Meriden, Connecticut is seeking proposals for RFP026-12, a comprehensive weatherization and roof improvement project for the Meriden Public Library located at 105 Miller Street in New Haven County. The project aims to address random water penetration through exterior building roof assemblies, with a specific scope involving staging and accessing the building exterior, inspecting and repairing exterior joints and material assembly seams, cleaning and sealing concrete and masonry, and coordinating with the existing 2023 EPDM Roof System warranty provider. A mandatory pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for September 3, 2025, at 9:00 am at the library, and electronic proposals will be accepted until 11:00 am on September 18, 2025, through the City's eProcurement Portal. Contractors must provide a 10% bid bond and comply with prevailing wage requirements, safety regulations, and local building codes. The project requires specialized technical capabilities, including the ability to work with the existing Firestone Platinum EPDM roof system and maintain its current 30-year manufacturer's warranty.

The City of Meriden is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer and actively encourages participation from disadvantaged, minority, small, and women-owned businesses. Prospective contractors must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including general liability, automobile liability, and workers' compensation. The project's estimated budget is $82,800, with a projected completion timeline of approximately three weeks. Contractors will need to be certified as a Firestone designated system installer and must possess the technical expertise to perform detailed masonry cleaning, joint sealant repairs, and roof system inspections without compromising the existing warranty. The contract will be awarded via purchase order, with payment made within 30 days of service completion, and the project will be funded through the City's account number 100099100 59140. Successful bidders must demonstrate significant experience in similar exterior weatherization and roof maintenance projects, with a focus on preserving existing roofing system warranties and preventing water intrusion.
