Roof Replacement at 3901 Hanson Road

The City of Madison, Wisconsin, is seeking bids for a roof replacement project (RFB #14062-0-2025-BG) located at the Metro Transit Bus Facility at 3901 Hanson Road near the Dane County Regional Airport. The procurement involves a comprehensive roof replacement of an existing EPDM roof originally installed in 2004, with the project requiring complete removal of the current roofing system and installation of a new fully adhered EPDM roof membrane system. Specific deliverables include mechanically fastening a new 1.5" polyisocyanurate insulation layer, installing a 0.060 mil EPDM membrane, replacing roof edge and counter flashing, and removing an abandoned AC condenser unit. The bid is scheduled for release on August 21, 2025, with a mandatory site visit on August 28, 2025, from 8:00am to 10:00am. Bidders must submit electronic proposals by September 9, 2025, at 2:00 PM CST, with questions due by September 3, 2025, and answers to be posted by September 5, 2025. The total project area covers 130,000 square feet, including 1,000 feet of blocking and 2,000 feet of flashing, with work to be completed by December 31, 2025.

The project has a significant federal funding component, with up to 80% of total costs potentially covered by federal monies, which subjects the procurement to federal procurement requirements. A notable requirement is a 15% Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goal, which provides specific opportunities for minority-owned or small businesses. The contractor will be responsible for providing all necessary labor, materials, and equipment to complete the project, and must be prepared to coordinate with mechanical contractors and other trades during the summer-winter 2025 construction period. While specific budget details are not explicitly stated in the documents, the comprehensive nature of the roof replacement and the federal funding suggest a substantial project scope. The bid documents include a Cost Proposal form (Form D) that provides a template for pricing various roofing components, indicating the potential for detailed cost evaluation. Prospective bidders should carefully review the federal procurement requirements and DBE participation goals when preparing their submissions.
