Bidders must demonstrate the ability to remove existing roofing to substrate decking, install new roofing materials matching existing assemblies, and provide both manufacturer and roofing contractor warranties.

Contractors must be prepared to work in a secure correctional facility environment and will need to coordinate multiple trades including roofing, electrical, mechanical, and general labor contractors.

The procurement includes several set-aside and qualification requirements, notably mandating at least 80% Colorado labor for projects over $500,000 and requiring contractors to participate in registered apprenticeship programs. Potential service-disabled veteran-owned small business considerations are included, with bidders required to provide documentation demonstrating general contracting experience on at least two projects over $1,000,000 in the past three years. The project is subject to prevailing wage rates and Buy Clean Colorado Act requirements, which mandate maximum acceptable global warming potential (GWP) limits for materials.

The estimated construction cost is $1,000,000.00, with bidders required to provide a bid guarantee of at least 5% for construction values of $50,000 or more. Successful contractors will need to execute performance and payment bonds within ten days of award and comply with specific state labor regulations and apprenticeship utilization certifications.
