OPSU Seeks Contractors for Weight Room Roof Replacement

The Oklahoma A&M System posted a procurement solicitation on December 10, 2025 for a full roof replacement at the Oscar Williams Weight Room on the Oklahoma Panhandle State University campus in Goodwell. The notice describes the work as a complete replacement of the roof, covering materials and labor in accordance with attached specifications. The solicitation includes an estimated value range and sets firm deadlines for interested bidders.

A pre bid conference is scheduled for December 16, 2025 at 2 00 p m on campus. That meeting will allow prospective bidders to review site conditions and ask procedural and technical questions prior to submitting proposals. Bids are due by January 6, 2026. The posting also lists bidder requirements and contact information for procurement questions, and the work location and contact details are provided in the solicitation documentation.

For campus users the project is significant because the Oscar Williams Weight Room supports student wellness programs and athletic training. A full roof replacement addresses long term maintenance needs, reduces the risk of water damage to equipment and facilities, and can extend the usable life of the building. For Texas County contractors the solicitation represents a clear contracting opportunity. The inclusion of bidder requirements and an estimated value range is intended to help firms evaluate capacity and compliance before preparing bids.

The procurement follows standard public higher education contracting practice where a formal solicitation, a pre bid conference, and a submission deadline structure the vendor selection process. Award timing and the construction schedule will depend on procurement review and contract negotiations under Oklahoma A and M System rules. Local residents and campus stakeholders can expect communications from OPSU about project timing once a contractor is selected.

Local contractors planning to compete should review the posted specifications, attend the December 16 pre bid conference if possible, and direct procurement questions to the contacts listed in the solicitation. Community members monitoring campus facilities and fiscal stewardship can track the process through OPSU procurement updates and follow the bid closing on January 6, 2026.
