Roof Replacement

Alanson Public Schools in Emmet County, Michigan is procuring roof replacement services through a sealed lump sum bid process managed by Moore Trosper Construction Company. The project scope encompasses the complete removal and replacement of the existing roofing system on the gymnasium and elementary school sections of the facility located at 7400 North Street with a new polyvinyl chloride (PVC) mechanically attached single-ply membrane roof system, including insulation, flashings, edge metal trim, fixed metal ladders, and roofing accessories. Key deliverables include furnishing and installing all materials, coordinating work sequencing, removing and reinstalling roofing penetrations and equipment, replacing roof strainers, and providing all required sealants. Bidders were required to attend a mandatory pre-bid conference held on August 13, 2020, and submit sealed bids by August 27, 2020 at 11:00 a.m., with public opening scheduled for 11:15 a.m. Required qualifications include contractor pre-qualification based on review of financial condition, safety records, and litigation history, submission of a 5% bid bond at bid time, and execution of 100% performance and payment bonds upon contract award. The construction schedule runs from September 18 through November 13, 2020, with project closeout by November 14, 2020, and contract award anticipated by September 16, 2020. The roofing system includes a 15-year manufacturer's warranty from acceptance of installation with no dollar limit and coverage for repair and replacement at no cost to the owner.

The bid documents do not identify any specific set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, or incumbent vendors. However, the project includes significant asbestos abatement requirements as documented in an August 5, 2020 comprehensive asbestos inspection report that identified eight asbestos-containing building materials (ACBMs) through laboratory analysis of 243 bulk samples, including chrysotile asbestos in pipe insulation, caulk, mastic, and roof drain insulation. Prior to commencing any work affecting identified ACBMs, contractors must engage a qualified and licensed asbestos abatement contractor licensed by the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, with a required 10-day state notification period. All project submittals must be provided in clean PDF format through Citrix Sharefile, and bidders must acknowledge all addenda issued, including Addendum No. 1 issued August 17, 2020. The contractor is responsible for obtaining and paying for the building permit through the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity, with all bond costs included in the base bid. The bid documents do not specify an estimated project budget or award value range.
