Roof Replacement

Dutchess County Department of Planning and Development is seeking bids for a residential rehabilitation project located at 26 Friendly Lane in Poughkeepsie, NY, focusing on a comprehensive roof replacement and front entry renovation. The procurement involves removing existing roofing materials and installing new 30-year architectural GAF shingles, along with a new stainless steel chimney cap, while preserving existing gutters. Additional project scope includes replacing the existing concrete front entry landing and stairs with a new wood deck and staircase, constructed to match the home's architectural style and comply with NYS Building Code. Bid documents are available through the Empire State Purchasing Group website, with sealed bids due on Friday, September 12, 2025, at 10:00 A.M. at the DCPD office located at 85 Civic Center Plaza, Suite 107, Poughkeepsie. Contractors must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including $1,000,000 per occurrence Commercial General Liability Insurance and $2,000,000 Excess/Umbrella Liability, and must obtain necessary permits while maintaining a clean work site. Evaluation will consider contractor qualifications, insurance compliance, and ability to complete the project within the specified timeline.

The solicitation encourages participation from minority-owned, women-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, with specific set-aside considerations to promote diverse contractor engagement. Interested bidders must register on the Empire State Purchasing Group website, with basic registration available at no cost. Potential funding sources include Community Development Block Grant or HOME Investment Partnership Programs, suggesting this may be a federally assisted project with additional compliance requirements. The contract includes a mandatory one-year guarantee on all work, with final payment contingent upon complete project approval by the County Rehabilitation Specialist. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the renovation suggests a moderate-scale residential rehabilitation project. Contractors will be required to begin work within a specified number of days after receiving a written notice to proceed and must complete all work within an additional predetermined timeframe. The bid remains valid for 45 days, and the county reserves the right to reject any or all bids and waive any formalities or technicalities in the bidding process.
