How to submit: Email to Contract Specialist Ronda Lucero at ronda_lucero@ios.doi.gov, with the solicitation number 140R4026Q0141 in the subject line; each required document as a separate file. What to include is under Full summary below. Check the solicitation's instructions on SAM.gov.
Things to watch (9)
- Serious: Total small business set-aside. Only small businesses can bid; larger firms are not eligible.
- Serious: Bid guarantee and bonds required if the price is over $150,000. Amendment 0002 added a bid guarantee (20 percent of the bid or $30,000.00, whichever is less) plus performance and payment bonds at 100 percent of price; a bid guarantee in the wrong form or amount may get the bid rejected.
- Worth checking: Payment protection rules differ between documents. The original solicitation requires a payment bond or letter of credit for 100 percent of price within 21 days of award, while Amendment 0002 requires bonds only above $150,000. Ask the contracting officer what applies at or below $150,000.

- Worth checking: Repair or replacement is decided after assessment, but the quote must pick one. The statement of work says the work depends on direction given after assessment, yet bidders must submit either the repair or the replacement price schedule.
- Worth checking: Manufacturer-certified installer and 10-year material warranty. The contractor must be a manufacturer-certified installer and the manufacturer warranty must run at least 10 years, covering leaks, ponding, wind uplift and installation errors.
- Minor: The site visit was Oct 14, 2026. Check the notice and its amendments for whether attendance was required, and whether another visit is offered.
- Minor: Davis-Bacon wage rates apply. A Davis-Bacon Act wage determination (CO20260001, federal minimum pay for construction workers) is attached, so bid with those wages and keep payroll records.
- Minor: Government review of each submittal takes at least 21 calendar days. Schedule, safety plan and method submittals need Government approval before work, which can eat into the December 1, 2026 to April 1, 2027 performance period.
- Minor: Site security and ID rules for the crew. Crew needs Government-issued ID cards or badges, escorts in sensitive areas, and a signed Facility Security Agreement; lost cards can be charged up to $500 each.
