Design Services for Partial Roof Replacement - Northwoods Elementary School

Wake County Public School System (WCPSS) Facilities Design and Construction is soliciting statements of qualifications under RFQ-26-O-LC for design services for a partial roof replacement at Northwoods Elementary School in North Carolina, with statements due November 4, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. Submissions go electronically to Tim Muller, Senior Administrator of WCPSS Facility Assessments and Lifecycle, at tjmuller@wcpss.net.

The design scope covers about 64,499 square feet across two roof groups. Roof areas A2–A5, A7, and A17, totaling approximately 48,770 square feet of gravel surface built-up roofing, will be replaced with a new 2-ply modified bitumen system. Roof areas A8, A9, A13, and A19, totaling approximately 15,729 square feet of existing 2-ply modified bitumen, will receive the same replacement system. The design also includes new thermal roof insulation with a coverboard, new sheet metal coping and flashing, and assessment of additional items of concern identified during an initial site visit. The selected firm must provide turnkey design services, including permit applications, bidding support, construction administration with scheduling coordination, pre-bid and preconstruction meetings, regular site construction meetings, and project closeout. The firm must maintain at least $1,000,000 in professional liability insurance.

Design fee negotiations follow immediately upon selection, and WCPSS anticipates issuing a design notice to proceed on December 2, 2026.
