Roof Retrofit Project - Pueblo Ice Arena

The contract involves a roof retrofit project for the Pueblo Ice Arena, which sustained hail damage necessitating replacement. The work must comply with the City of Pueblo’s adopted 2021 building codes, specifically sections from the International Existing Building Code (IEBC), International Building Code (IBC), and International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), all allowing for the recovery of the existing roofing system rather than full removal. The current roof assembly consists of a wood deck, two layers of 1.5-inch polyisocyanurate insulation, a half-inch Dens-Deck prime mechanically attached, and a 50 mil KEE roof membrane adhered on top. The solicitation, posted by the City of Pueblo Public Works department, has a response deadline in March 2026 and seeks qualified contractors to perform the work in compliance with the specified codes and project requirements. The contract documents formalize obligations between the City and contractor, including performance and payment bonds to guarantee project fulfillment and payment security. Contractors must comply with local licensing and tax regulations, including a mandatory 3.7% sales and use tax with prepayment requirements for contracts exceeding $100,000. Additionally, federal labor standards and reporting requirements apply to ensure wage compliance and transparency, including adherence to the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA). The City also emphasizes compliance with HUD’s Section 3 regulations, promoting workforce and business opportunities for low- and very low-income populations through employment and contracting on the project. Overall, the contract requires adherence to strict technical, legal, financial, and regulatory standards to ensure the successful restoration of the Ice Arena roof while supporting community economic inclusion.
