South Bass Island State Park

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) is seeking qualified contractors for a roofing and siding replacement project at South Bass Island State Park located in Put-In-Bay, Ohio. The procurement involves comprehensive renovation work on four cabins, including complete roof replacement with Green Elite rib metal roofing, installation of metal ridge caps, drip edges, and snow bars, as well as siding replacement using Provia Cerarmax vinyl siding in red panels with foam board insulation. Contractors must complete all work by May 22, 2026, and are encouraged to schedule site visits with Park Manager Mike Pucak at (419) 960-9826 prior to bid submission. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on a low lot total calculation, which requires bidding on all items to remain eligible. Bidders must include ferry fees in their quotations and are responsible for site cleanup, debris removal, and ensuring all equipment is free of sediment to prevent invasive species introduction. Prevailing wage requirements for Ottawa County, Ohio will apply to all contract work.

The state offers several preference programs for this opportunity, including Buy American (5%), Buy Ohio (5%), and Veteran-Friendly Business (2%) preferences, contingent upon at least one offeror not qualifying for the preferences. Minority and disadvantaged business enterprises are encouraged to participate, and contractors must comply with extensive state requirements including maintaining specific insurance coverages: commercial general liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence/$2,000,000 aggregate), commercial automobile liability ($1,000,000 combined single limit), workers' compensation, and cyber liability ($2,000,000 per claim/aggregate). Contractors must also register in the OhioBuys procurement platform and obtain an OH|ID credential. While a specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the renovation and the multi-cabin scope suggest a moderate-sized project. Invoicing will be processed through Financial Shared Services, with the purchase order valid only for goods and services received through June 30, 2026, necessitating a new PO for any work extending beyond that date.
