The University awarded a contract for emergency roof replacement on six buildings.
This emergency/quick purchase was required due to a situation in which
public health or safety was threatened.
The University sustained major damage and destruction of many roofs during a violent storm that struck the campus on May 8, 2009. Timely repair and roof replacement will be performed on the six most adversely effected buildings to minimize disruption of service, avoid future damage to the interior of the buildings, and to secure public safety.
To ensure due diligence, the University obtained proposals from two roofing contractors to determine a reasonable cost analysis. Proposals were chosen for individual buildings based on the lowest responsive bidder meeting specifications.
