2026 Roofing Program

Birmingham Public Schools is soliciting sealed bids for the 2026 Roofing Program, a comprehensive roof replacement and restoration project spanning four school facilities: Derby Middle School, Pierce Elementary School, Quarton Elementary School, and West Maple Elementary School. The procurement encompasses complete roof system replacements across multiple roof areas totaling approximately 126,500 square feet, with specific requirements including selective demolition, concrete and steel deck repairs, insulation installation, EPDM membrane roofing, sheet metal flashing, and associated accessories. Each facility requires a 20-year manufacturer's No Dollar Limit (NDL) warranty, with precise installation standards and adherence to industry specifications. The bid process includes a mandatory pre-bid conference on October 22, 2025, at 10:00 AM, with sealed bids due on November 5, 2025, at 1:30 PM local time. Contractors must submit a 5% bid security, provide familial disclosure statements, certify they are not an "Iran Linked Business," and demonstrate comprehensive roofing expertise. Bid documents are available for download starting October 17, 2025, with all questions to be submitted to Kody Tolliver at kody.tolliver@structuretec.com by October 30, 2025.

The procurement appears to be open to all qualified roofing contractors without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. The project is funded through the district's 2020 Bond program, with a projected budget range of approximately $1.1-$1.5 million. Contractors will be required to provide performance and payment bonds, comprehensive insurance certificates, and meet stringent qualification criteria. The work is scheduled to commence as early as June 15, 2026, with substantial completion expected by August 14, 2026. The bid includes base and alternate bid options for different roof areas, allowing for potential phased or partial implementation. While no incumbent vendors are explicitly mentioned, the project requires integration with existing school infrastructure and minimal disruption to educational operations. Evaluation criteria will likely focus on technical capabilities, warranty provisions, installation methodology, and overall cost-effectiveness of the proposed roofing solutions.
