Gym Floor Replacement at Sorrento Springs

The Parkway School District in Missouri is seeking qualified contractors to replace the gymnasium floor at Sorrento Springs Elementary School as part of its Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Capital Flooring Replacement project. The comprehensive project involves removing existing flooring and installing approximately 3,012 square feet of Taraflex Evolution Sport M Plus flooring in Maple Sun color, along with 24 square feet of carpet walk-off and 63 square feet of rubber stair replacement. Specific deliverables include installing a 6-inch black Roppe cove base, new expansion joints, court lines in blue, red, and yellow, two volleyball floor sleeves, brass floor covers, and a complete volleyball system. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for January 16, 2026, at 8:00 a.m. CST, and bids are due electronically on February 12, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. CST through the Parkway Schools Bonfire Hub portal. Contractors will be evaluated on a "lowest and best" basis, considering factors such as specification compliance, vendor capability, inventory management, prior experience, and financial strength.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly outline set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but it does emphasize preference for domestically manufactured products and Missouri-based suppliers when quality, price, and delivery are comparable. Contractors must comply with several mandatory requirements, including participation in the federal E-Verify work authorization program, adherence to Missouri prevailing wage requirements, and completion of a ten-hour OSHA construction safety program for on-site employees. While a specific budget range is not disclosed, the project is part of a larger capital improvement initiative covering flooring replacements at seven district locations. Bidders must maintain appropriate insurance, provide detailed documentation of E-Verify participation, and submit a non-collusion affidavit. The Board of Education reserves the right to reject any or all bids and may award various portions of the contract to different vendors. The project is expected to take approximately six weeks to complete, with an estimated duration aligning with the district's fiscal year 2025-2026 capital budget.
