RFP-WES-270000000173-1 | Westwood - Thorne Elementary Partial Roof Replacement

The Westwood Community School District is soliciting proposals for a partial roof replacement at Thorne Elementary School in Dearborn Heights, Michigan. The project involves removing existing roofing membranes and components down to the deck and installing a new HPR Modified Roof System. While the contractor provides all labor and equipment, the owner will purchase Garland supplied materials directly through the OMNIA Procurement program. Work must commence within 30 days of the contract award and be completed within 60 days of the start date, with a late completion penalty of 300 dollars per day. Awarding is based on the receipt of an acceptable bid, with the owner evaluating the low bidder's competency, financial responsibility, and performance history. Required submission documents include a professional engineer's seal on manufacturer specifications, a list of three similar projects completed at least five years ago within a 100-mile radius, and an affidavit of compliance with the Iran Economic Sanctions Act. The contractor must also secure performance and payment bonds and adhere to OSHA and NRCA safety standards. Payment is structured through monthly progress invoices, with a 10 percent retainer held until the delivery of the warranty. Final payment is issued within 30 days of job approval, provided lien waivers are submitted. Quality assurance includes field observations at 30, 60, and 90 percent completion, a final joint inspection, and a potential thermographic scan to ensure materials are not damp or wet. All installations must meet ASTM E-108 and FM 1-90 standards.
