Roof Replacement Project

The West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation is soliciting competitive bids for a roof replacement project at Stevens Correctional Center and Jail located at 795 Virginia Avenue, Welch, WV 24801, under ARFQ 0608 DCR2600000097. This solicitation is structured as a lump-sum fixed-price contract with unit pricing options for contingency work. The scope encompasses complete removal and replacement of existing roof systems across thirteen building sections (A through M), including demolition of rock ballast, rubber membrane roofing, insulation, metal edging, and downspouts. Installation work requires tapered polyisocyanurate insulation (R-30 average minimum), gypsum coverboard, two-ply modified bitumen membrane roofing system, new metal flashing, coping, gutters, downspouts, and scuppers, with coal-tar flood coat and aggregate surfacing. Additional unit-price options include metal decking replacement, internal roof drain replacement, concrete decking patching, and wood nailer replacement. Qualified contractors must hold a West Virginia license, provide a 5% bid bond, 100% performance bond, 100% labor and material payment bond, and a two-year maintenance bond. Required insurance includes $1,000,000 Commercial General Liability and $1,000,000 Automobile Liability per occurrence. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for March 26, 2026, at 10:00 AM EST at the facility; questions must be submitted by April 2, 2026, at 2:00 PM EST; and all bids are due by April 16, 2026, at 10:30 AM EST with public opening at 11:00 AM EST. The contractor must complete all work within 365 calendar days of receiving notice to proceed and provide a 30-year manufacturer's warranty with edge-to-edge coverage and no dollar limitations, plus a two-year contractor warranty. Award will be made to the lowest qualified bidder meeting all specifications.

Contractors must maintain a drug-free workplace program and comply with local labor market hiring requirements mandating 75% local employees for projects exceeding $500,000. The facility location in McDowell County, West Virginia, may qualify for prevailing wage and local hiring considerations. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. The contractor must ensure that a manufacturer's field representative is present a minimum of three days per week for quality assurance inspections, with weekly or bi-weekly progress meetings as determined by the Director of Engineering, Construction, and Maintenance. The contractor bears responsibility for field verification of all existing conditions, dimensions, and quantities prior to commencement of work, maintaining water tightness throughout construction, protecting adjacent surfaces, and coordinating with other trades. Upon project completion, the contractor must verify that all roof drains and drain piping are clear and unplugged, with camera scoping of drain lines required. No specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the solicitation documents; however, the local hiring threshold of 75% applies to projects exceeding $500,000, suggesting the contract value may fall within or near this range.
