RFP-WES-270000000173-2 | 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 requires the removal of the existing roof down to the deck and the installation of an HPR Modified Roof System. The contractor is responsible for providing all labor, equipment, and supervision, while the owner will purchase Garland materials separately through the OMNIA Procurement program. Work must commence within 30 days of the contract award and be completed within 60 days, with a penalty of 300 dollars per day for unauthorized delays. Award selection is based on the receipt of an acceptable bid, with the low bidder subject to an evaluation of competency and financial responsibility. Bidders must provide a list of three similar projects within a 100-mile radius that are at least five years old and submit a manufacturer's specification section signed and sealed by a licensed professional engineer. Disqualification may occur due to failure to attend the pre-bid meeting, evidence of collusion, or lack of professional expertise. The contract includes strict quality assurance requirements, including manufacturer field observations at 30, 60, and 90 percent completion, and a final joint inspection. Performance is verified through core cuts and potential thermographic scans, with the contractor liable for replacing any damp or wet materials. Payment is handled via monthly progress invoices, with a 10 percent retainer held until the delivery of the warranty. Additionally, the successful contractor must secure a performance and payment bond and provide a two-year notarized warranty for all sheet metal work.
