Title
Resolution to Approve Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement with Roco Enterprises, LLC DBA Roco Roofing LLC for Roofing Repair and Replacement Services (Additional $100,000.00 for a Not-to-Exceed Contract Total of $400,000.00)
Memorandum
This resolution requests approval of Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement for Roofing Repair and Replacement Services with Roco Enterprises, LLC DBA Roco Roofing LLC (Roco). City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement for $300,000.00 with Roco on May 4, 2026, in Resolution R-26-0658.
Under the current contract, Roco has repaired or replaced 19 roofs by July 1st for the Bryant Neighborhood Decarbonization Project, to improve home energy efficiency, safety and comfort, and enable solar PV installations. Roco has demonstrated strong performance on these jobs, working well with the City and receiving positive feedback from residents and expeditious turnaround from project assignment to completion.
At the time of initial contracting, the City had a budget of $700,000.00 for roofing work in the neighborhood (funded by the Michigan Public Service Commission grant), which was divided among 3 contractors.
Since the original contract execution, we have identified additional need for roofing work and received a reallocation of grant funds increasing roofing funding to $812,500.00. Grant funds must be fully expended by August 15th, so timely completion of the work is essential.
Given Roco’s strong performance and demonstrated ability to handle an increase in work assignments, Staff seeks to increase their contract to reflect the increased total funding and their larger share of the total work assignments.
Roco complies with the City’s Non-Discrimination and Living Wage ordinances.
Budget/Fiscal Impact: The funding for these services is available in the approved project budget, funded by the Michigan Public Service Commission.
