NS26-96 Gateway Preparatory Academy - Roof Replacement

Gateway Preparatory Academy, a charter school located in Enoch, Utah (Iron County), is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP NS26-96) for comprehensive roof replacement services at its facility located at 201 E Thoroughbred Way. The procurement seeks removal and disposal of the existing roofing system, installation of tapered insulation, installation of an 80 mil minimum TPO or equivalent thermoplastic single-ply membrane roofing system with reinforced seams, installation of high-efficiency insulation, weather-resistant detailing, installation of new supports for rooftop mechanical and utility lines, and restoration of exterior finishes, with completion required by June 15, 2026. Mandatory minimum qualifications include prequalification on the Utah Division of Facilities and Construction Management (DFCM) Prequalified Roofing Contractors list, a current Utah contractor license for commercial roofing, manufacturer certification and authorization to install and warrant the proposed Versico VersiWeld TPO system with a minimum 30-year warranty, and required liability and worker's compensation insurance (commercial general liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $3,000,000 aggregate; commercial automobile liability of $1,000,000 combined single limit). Technical proposals are evaluated on a 60-point scale across four categories: Project Understanding & Approach (20 points), Project Schedule & Timeline (15 points), Personnel Qualifications (10 points), and Warranty & Long-Term Value (15 points), with a minimum threshold of 40 points required to advance to cost evaluation; cost proposals are scored separately with the lowest bidder receiving 40 points and other bidders scored proportionally, and award will be made to the responsive and responsible offeror with the highest overall combined score. A mandatory pre-bid conference and site visit is scheduled for February 27, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at the facility location, with attendance required by an authorized representative of the bidding entity; the deadline for submitting questions is March 2, 2026, at 5:00 p.m.; and proposals must be submitted via email to Adam Bealer at adambealer@gpacharter.org by March 6, 2026, at 5:00 p.m.

Bidding is restricted to contractors appearing on the DFCM Prequalified Roofing Contractors list, with no apparent set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or other organizational categories specified in the solicitation documents. The prequalified roofing contractors list, updated February 1, 2026, identifies 28 eligible contractors with qualifications expiring on either January 31, 2027, or July 31, 2027; contractors not listed but believing they meet qualification criteria are instructed to contact dfcm_vbs@utah.gov. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation materials. The contract is a one-time engagement lasting until project completion, and specific budget ranges or award values are not disclosed in the available solicitation documents; however, cost sheet provisions indicate that bidders will provide comprehensive pricing for labor and materials across all specified line items. All submissions and inquiries should be directed to Gateway Preparatory Academy (through Adam Bealer), as the Academy is the issuing office and the Utah Division of Purchasing is not conducting this procurement; contract awards will not be posted on the state purchasing website but instead will be determined directly by Gateway Preparatory Academy.
