The City of Cedar Rapids is seeking bids for the 2026 J Avenue Water Treatment Plant Roof Replacements and Repairs project. The project involves removing and replacing existing roof systems, including adhered EPDM single-ply and asphalt shingle steep roofing, at several buildings within the water treatment plant. The work also includes interior protection, tear-off, deck replacement, painting, plumbing, insulation, mechanical, vapor retarder, electrical, masonry, rough carpentry, joint sealants, and roof-related sheet metal work. The project requires the contractor to perform roof replacement work during either the peak season (June 1 through September 30) or the off-peak season (October 1 through May 31), with no more than one filter taken out of service at any given time during the peak season. The contractor must also coordinate with the owner regarding placement of equipment to access work areas and ensure that the owner's personnel have access to equipment and areas of the facility that remain in operation.
