26-51R Fluid Applied Roofing FY25-26

Parkway School District is seeking sealed bids from qualified contractors for Fluid Applied Roofing FY25-26, a re-roofing project involving the installation of fluid-applied roofing systems at six district schools located across the St. Louis metropolitan area, including McKelvey Primary, Craig Elementary, Northeast Middle, Central High, Mason Ridge Elementary, and Barretts Elementary Schools. The project is divided into six separate bid packages with the intention to award all packages to a single prime contractor. The successful contractor must possess the qualifications and capacity to manage comprehensive roofing installation work, including roof deck repairs, tear-off and repairs, and preparation work, with a contingency allowance of $123,500 allocated for these activities. Evaluation of bids will be based on the "lowest and best" proposal considering factors including compliance with specifications, the vendor's ability to supply all or most required items, commitment to maintain sufficient inventory, prior District-vendor history, and financial strength. Critical deadlines include a mandatory pre-bid conference on February 13, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. CST at McKelvey Primary School (failure to attend results in bid disqualification), bid submission through the Bonfire Portal by March 19, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. CDT, notice to proceed on April 16, 2026, fieldwork commencement on May 22, 2026, and substantial completion by August 21, 2026. All bids must be submitted electronically through the Parkway School District Bonfire Portal, with no exceptions permitted for late submissions.

Contractors awarded contracts exceeding $5,000 must enroll in the federal E-Verify work authorization program and comply with Missouri Revised Statute 285.530 by providing a sworn affidavit confirming enrollment and that no unauthorized aliens are employed on the project. All bidders must submit a notarized Affidavit of Non-Collusion as part of their bid package to certify independent bid preparation without collusion or fraud. The project requires performance and payment bonds equal to the contract sum plus a 5% bid bond, and contractors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage including commercial general liability of $2,000,000 per occurrence. Prevailing wage requirements apply pursuant to Missouri statute, with workers earning minimum rates established by the Missouri Division of Labor Standards for St. Louis County, and all employees must complete OSHA 10-Hour Construction Safety and Health Training within 60 days of beginning work on site. The District encourages purchase of products manufactured, assembled, or produced in the United States and grants preference to Missouri-manufactured commodities when quality, price, and delivery are approximately equivalent. No specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the solicitation documents.
