212-18608-000 (GC) Reroof Academic & Administrative Buildings Campuswide

Virginia State University is undertaking a campuswide reroofing initiative involving approximately 111 academic and administrative buildings on its Main Campus and the nearby Randolph Farm. The project consists of both large-scale capital roofing replacements for major buildings and ongoing non-capital work such as scheduled maintenance and emergency repairs. Specific capital projects include reroofing of key structures like the Jessie Bolling, Engineering and Technology, Hunter McDaniel, and Johnson Memorial Library buildings, with full roof replacements utilizing materials such as EPDM membranes, insulation, and associated structural repairs. The non-capital maintenance covers a range of roofing types, including asphalt shingles, slate, metal, and EPDM, and requires contractors to provide emergency response within four hours of notification. The planned contract term is four years, from 2025 through 2029, with the bidding process expected to open in August 2025. Qualified contractors must demonstrate substantial experience with roofing projects, provide valid credentials regarding competency and financial responsibility, and submit required forms and documentation, including proof of bonding capacity. There is a significant emphasis on encouraging small business participation, with a goal of allocating 42% of discretionary spending to qualified small firms. The contract value is estimated between $5 million and $15 million and is administered by Virginia State University under a formal solicitation process.
