Westwood - Thorne Elementary Partial Roof Replacement

Westwood Community School District is soliciting sealed bids for a partial roof replacement at Thorne Elementary School in Dearborn Heights, Michigan, with bids due November 4, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. and a mandatory pre-bid conference on October 27, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. at the school site. The owner will purchase the Garland-supplied roofing materials directly through the OMNIA Procurement program, and contractors must exclude those materials from their pricing per Addendum #1, so the bid covers labor, supervision, and remaining work only.

The scope covers five designated sections (2, 3, 11, 12, 13, and 14) across gypsum, metal, and concrete decking. Work requires removing the existing roof to deck and installing a 2-ply modified bituminous system in SEBS asphalt with flood coat and cold-process coal-tar pitch, with The Garland Company providing daily on-site inspection and a 30-year manufacturer warranty. Contractors must provide a 3-year workmanship warranty, a performance and payment bond from an acceptable surety, and insurance including fire, extended coverage, vandalism, and malicious mischief at 100 percent of insurable value, plus comprehensive general liability of not less than $1 million per occurrence and workmen's compensation. Base bids cover Sections 2, 3, and 13, and alternate bids cover Sections 11, 12, and 14. Unit pricing is also required for potential additional work, including wood blocking, metal decking, drain, gypsum decking, and concrete decking repairs.

Anticipated start is November 19, 2026, with completion required by August 15, 2027. The owner retains 10 percent of each payment until warranty delivery, and a $300 per day penalty applies to work extending past the completion date. Bid documents are available through BidNet, and sealed bids go to the district office at 3335 Beech Daly Road, Dearborn Heights, Michigan 48125. Technical questions route to Matt Verhey at The Garland Company, Inc., at (248) 880-0896. The district reserves the right to accept or reject any or all proposals and to waive irregularities.
