CDPH Richmond Laboratory Roof Replacement

The California Department of Public Health is proposing to replace and weatherproof the aging roofing systems on Laboratories A, B, C, and D in Richmond, California. The existing roofs, which have exceeded two decades of service, will be fully removed down to the structural deck to allow for a complete rebuild using a modern, high-performance roofing system. This includes the installation of rigid insulation, a cover board, a single-ply membrane, and all necessary flashing and penetration details to ensure long-term durability and weather resistance. The project is focused on eliminating vulnerabilities caused by decades of exposure and preventing future water intrusion that could compromise laboratory operations and safety. This initiative is led by the California Public Health Department, with Donna Bacich serving as the primary point of contact for research and planning, and Savita Sachdeva as the project director. The action is forecasted with a posted date of December 22, 2025, and is expected to take place at the Richmond facility, although formal solicitation details such as set-aside specifications, NAICS code, and formal contract award timelines have not yet been released. The goal is to enhance facility integrity, protect critical laboratory environments, and extend the service life of the building infrastructure through a comprehensive, code-compliant roof replacement.
