Pembroke Public Library Roof

The Pembroke Public Library Roof Replacement project is a Massachusetts municipal construction effort solicited through a formal Invitation for Bids issued by the Town of Pembroke, with a posted date of August 20, 2025, and a bid deadline of September 10, 2025. The project involves complete roof replacement at the library, with a contract value set at $75,000, awarded on a lump sum basis to the lowest responsible and eligible bidder. Bidders must submit sealed bids accompanied by a 5% bid security, along with performance and labor/material bonds equal to 100% of the contract amount. The scope includes comprehensive roofing work adhering to specified technical standards, such as the use of synthetic roofing materials, ice & water shield, and specific flashing and venting requirements detailed in attachments. The work must be substantially completed within 120 days from the Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages of $100 per day for delays beyond this period. The contract incorporates several statutory and regulatory provisions, including compliance with Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 149, Sections 44A–44H governing public bidding, and Sections 26–27G related to prevailing wages. It mandates OSHA 10-hour safety training for all workers, prohibits discrimination and participation in international boycotts, and requires submission of a Division of Capital Asset Management Certificate of Eligibility. Performance and payment bonds are required to secure faithful completion, with bonds remaining in force for one year after project acceptance. The project emphasizes adherence to all applicable laws, regulations, and safety standards, with the Town reserving the right to reject any or all bids and to waive informalities. Final inspection and acceptance are conducted on-site by the Town and the building inspector, with final payment due within 30 days of project completion. The bid process is structured as a straightforward low-price award, with evaluation based primarily on responsibility, eligibility, and price, and no federal line-item or alternative pricing structures are involved.
