South Unit Roof Repair

The State of Kansas Department of Administration, Procurement and Contracts is seeking bids for a roof repair project at the Larned State Correctional Facility's South Unit located in Rawlins County. The procurement involves repairing approximately 6,000 square feet of roofing, which includes removing existing coping and through wall scuppers, installing a new .5" HD coverboard, adhering a .60 mil TPO roofing membrane, flashing penetrations, and installing new perimeter coping, edge metal, guttering, and downspouts. The project requires a minimum two-year workmanship warranty and a manufacturer's twenty-year 70 mph wind warranty. An optional pre-bid meeting is scheduled for April 2, 2025, at 10:30 AM, with bid responses due by April 9, 2025, at 2:00 PM CST. Vendors must demonstrate a comprehensive safety program covering fall protection, ladder safety, electrical safety, personal protective equipment, and job-specific training, with pricing to be submitted as a total lump sum and an option for additional coverboard insulation if sub-roof repair is needed.

The solicitation encourages participation from disadvantaged businesses, specifically offering potential bidder preferences for disabled veteran-owned businesses and certified businesses. Vendors must comply with various state requirements, including submitting a 5% bid guaranty, providing a current Tax Clearance Certificate, and completing certification forms related to immigration reform, sexual harassment policy compliance, and attestations regarding boycotts and procurement of telecommunications equipment. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the bid requires comprehensive documentation and adherence to state procurement regulations. The contract will be governed by Kansas law, with potential termination clauses related to funding appropriations and standard anti-discrimination provisions. All bid responses will become property of the State of Kansas and are subject to open records laws, emphasizing transparency in the procurement process.
