The University of Colorado Colorado Springs is requesting RFP bids for a reroof project for the original
Summit Village housing complex. This complex consists of eight buildings; Aspen House, Breckenridge
House, Keystone House, Monarch House, Steamboat House, Telluride House, Vail House and The Lodge.
Work can start Saturday, December 19, 2015 and is to be substantially complete by January 18, 2016.
The residences are not occupied during this academic break and work can occur 7 days/week starting at
7am. Work to conclude no later than is safe based on light available.
This reroof project is to go over the top of the existing roofing material saving the cost of labor to
remove the existing roof and the associated disposal costs, along with the cost to replace insulation, etc.
The existing roof is a built-up roof. There was a layer of sand originally that has mostly been blown away
or into corners.
Colorado Springs is located in a Special Wind Region per ASCE 7-98/ASCE 7-02 Wind Map.
The warranty for the roof shall cover winds up to 100MPH and hail in a no dollar limit manufacturer
warranty. The warranty will be in effect for a minimum of 15 years from substantial completion
inspection. The warranty is to cover the labor to make necessary repairs or replacement of the defective
portion of the membrane or workmanship of the contractor.
