Sterling Elementary Roofing Project

The Standish-Sterling Community School District is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) for roofing contractor services at Sterling Elementary School located in Arenac County and Sterling Heights City, Michigan. The procurement encompasses two distinct service areas: Area A involves inspection, cleaning, minor repairs, and application of a silicone roof coating system with a minimum 10-year manufacturer's warranty over the existing roof; Area B requires complete removal of the existing EPDM roof and wood fiber insulation system, installation of one layer of Duro-Guard ISO cover board, and installation of a complete 50 mil PVC roof system with a 20-year no-dollar-limit warranty covering both materials and labor. Additional deliverables include removal and replacement of existing gutters and downspouts with new 24 gauge Kynar-coated units and installation of two-way breather vents. Contractors must possess workers' compensation insurance at statutory limits, commercial general liability coverage of $2,000,000 per occurrence, automobile liability of $1,000,000 for bodily injury and property damage, and umbrella/excess liability coverage of $2,000,000. A pre-bid project review meeting is scheduled for April 29, 2021 at 3:30 PM (highly recommended but not mandatory), and sealed proposals must be received by May 6, 2021 at 3:30 PM at the Office of the Superintendent, 3789 Wyatt Rd., Standish, Michigan 48658. Contractors must submit one original and one copy of their sealed proposal along with a certified check, money order, or bid bond in an amount not less than 5% of the base proposal sum for proposals exceeding $50,000. The District reserves the right to accept or reject any proposals, waive technicalities, award to the proposal that best complies with project requirements, and request clarifications from selected proposers.

The RFP documentation does not specify any designated set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises or restrictions limiting responses to particular organization types. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the procurement materials. Performance and Payment Bonds covering faithful performance of the contract are required prior to execution, with bond costs to be included in the base proposal sum. The District and RC Hendrick must be named as additional insureds on all insurance policies. All proposal development costs shall be absorbed by the contractor. The preferred contract form is AIA Document A132-2009. No specific budget range or award value is listed in the available procurement documentation, though the minimum bonding requirement of 5% applies to proposals exceeding $50,000, indicating the project is anticipated to be of substantial value.
