The Detroit Public Schools Community District is soliciting proposals for the total roof replacement of four locations: Cass Technical High School, Emerson Elementary-Middle School, Priest Elementary-Middle School, and Clippert Academy. The scope of work includes removing existing roof systems down to the structural deck, performing necessary substrate repairs, and conducting pre- and post-construction testing of all roof drains. Specifically for Cass Tech, the contractor must employ a licensed electrical contractor to manage the removal, storage, and reinstallation of the solar photovoltaic system. All work must adhere to ASTM standards and OSHA safety regulations, with a requirement that the site be restored to its original condition upon completion. The contract is awarded based on the combined relative merit of technical qualifications, cost, and the contractor's approach and capacity. Bidders must provide a base bid for all four buildings, including a $20,000 owner-controlled allowance per building, and specific unit pricing for materials such as wood blocking, sheathing, and metal plating. Financial security is a critical requirement, with a 5% bid security required at submission and 100% performance and payment bonds required from the selected vendor. Additionally, the project is subject to Michigan State Prevailing Wage Laws, and the contractor must comply with EEO and DBE participation requirements. Payments are processed on a 45-day cycle following the receipt of a properly prepared invoice.
