Roofing Services

The State of Kansas Department of Administration, Office of Procurement and Contracts, has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for comprehensive roofing services across multiple Kansas Veterans Services facilities, including the Kansas Veterans' Home in Winfield, the Kansas Soldiers' Home in Dodge City, and four State Veterans Cemeteries. The procurement seeks a contractor to provide open-ended roofing repair, demolition, and installation services, with specific requirements including removal of existing roofing materials, installation of SBS modified shingles with felt underlayment, replacement of flashings, gutter and downspout work, and related roofing system components. A mandatory pre-bid site visit is scheduled for November 21, 2025, at 1:30 PM at Timmerman Hall in Winfield, with failure to attend resulting in bid rejection. Bidders must submit written questions by November 28, 2025, in MS Word format to Procurement Officer Ashley N. Evans, and all bids are due by December 3, 2025, at 2:00 PM CST. Contractors must provide pricing on a per-square-foot basis for labor, with separate line items for roof accessories and hourly rates for general use work, and must be prepared to handle projects typically ranging from $2,000 to $500,000.

The solicitation includes several set-aside and preference opportunities for bidders, specifically allowing claims for Disabled Veteran Owned Business and Certified Business Bidder Preferences with appropriate supporting documentation. All bidders and subcontractors are required to submit a current Tax Clearance Certificate from the Kansas Department of Revenue, completed Boycott of Israel forms, Sexual Harassment forms, and Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) certification forms. The contract, running from the award date through December 31, 2030, requires the selected contractor to provide performance bonding equal to 100 percent of the contract value and maintain comprehensive insurance, including $500,000 general liability coverage, workers' compensation with $100,000 employers' liability limits, and $500,000 automobile liability insurance. The contractor must offer emergency services seven days per week, confirm availability within four hours of service requests, and provide a five-year warranty covering leak repairs and defect corrections. While no specific monetary bid guarantee is required, bidders must complete registration prior to submission, and the State reserves the right to accept or reject any bid responses.
