Committee approves $1.21 million roof replacement and countywide roof repair contract for Medical Examiner building
Summary
Wayne County’s Committee on Public Services approved a contract with Schreiber Corporation to replace the Medical Examiner's roof (about $1.2 million) and to provide on‑demand roof repairs countywide; the contract includes a 10% contingency and an additional $100,000 for other repairs.
Wayne County’s Committee on Public Services approved Sept. 9 a three‑year professional services agreement (with a one‑year renewal option) with Schreiber Corporation to replace the roof at the county Medical Examiner’s Office and to provide on‑demand roof repair services for other county buildings.
Greg Hurst, director of facilities management and planning, and Freddie Williams, senior project executive, described the work as a full tear‑off and installation of a built‑up, code‑compliant roofing system, removal of unused rooftop equipment, replacement of insulation and installation of a code‑applied bitumen system. Williams said the scope is a standard removal and replacement: “It's just a tear off and installation of a new roofing system.”
Staff said the package to replace the Medical Examiner’s roof is roughly $1.2 million, with a 10% contingency built in for unknowns. Hurst said the total authorization on the contract is approximately $1.211 million, and the county added another $100,000 in the contract to cover labor and materials for as‑needed roof repairs at other county facilities over the contract term.
Hurst said the county originally considered more disruptive options, including building an annex, but staff have addressed the most critical operational issues so the facility will not need to be taken offline for the roofing work. He told the committee the department prioritized the roof now because of the building’s condition and to protect ongoing operations.
Commissioners asked about procurement and oversight. Staff said an RFP was issued, multiple bids were received, and Schreiber was selected as the lowest responsible bidder. Hurst noted contingency dollars require approval if used and that the county will develop internal processes to manage potential overages.
The contract was approved as part of a bundled motion to approve items 2–13. Commissioner Baydoun moved and Commissioner Palamara supported the omnibus motion; the motion carried.
