Building Envelope Quality Assurance & Testing

The contract seeks qualified firms to perform field testing on installed glazing and siding systems to verify air and water infiltration performance in accordance with ASTM E283 and E331 standards, as well as to assess thermal performance and overall compliance with specified building envelope requirements. Testing will be conducted at multiple project locations across Michigan, with no single primary city designated, requiring contractors to be prepared for mobilization to various sites as needed. The work is part of a broader quality assurance initiative to ensure the integrity and energy efficiency of the building envelope systems post-installation. Subcontractors are expected to have proven expertise in envelope testing protocols, instrumentation calibration, and documentation of results compliant with industry standards. The opportunity is open for response until August 5, 2026, with an initial posting date of July 21, 2026, indicating a four-week window for proposers to submit their bids. This procurement falls under NAICS code 541370, categorizing it as architectural, engineering, and related services, and is issued through the Michigan-based DTMB agency, though specific contact details and office location information are not provided. Proposals must demonstrate technical capability, experience with field testing in varied environmental conditions, and adherence to performance verification criteria without reliance on laboratory-based assessments.
