Real Estate Broker Services

The Rockwood School District (R-VI) in Missouri is soliciting proposals for comprehensive real estate broker services through a formal Request for Proposals process. The District, which serves approximately 19,000 students across four high schools, six middle schools, and nineteen elementary schools, seeks qualified real estate brokers or firms to provide services including locating properties for purchase, performing market analyses, providing property opinions, creating marketing materials, coordinating appraisals and closings, and consulting with District staff. Proposers must be licensed real estate brokers in good standing with Missouri, Jefferson County, and St. Louis County, with excellent reputation, strong local market knowledge, experience with commercial properties, and demonstrated work with school districts or public agencies within the past five years. The RFP was issued on May 1, 2026, with written questions due by May 8, 2026, and proposals due by May 29, 2026, at 2:00 PM CDT through the Rockwood School District Bonfire online portal; no late submissions will be accepted. The contract term is three years, running from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2029, with award recommendation to the Board of Education by July 1, 2026, and Board approval anticipated by July 16, 2026. Evaluation criteria include ability to meet RFP requirements, experience and qualifications, local market knowledge, reputation, fee structure, and completeness of response, with the District reserving the right to split awards among multiple brokers or make partial awards. Pricing must be submitted on a fee schedule basis with no cost increases permitted during the contract term, and the District requires comprehensive general liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and professional errors and omissions insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence.

No specific set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises or restrictions on organization types are identified in the RFP documentation, though all proposing entities must comply with Missouri statutory requirements including the Anti-Discrimination Against Israel Affidavit (for contracts exceeding $100,000 with companies employing 10 or more individuals) and E-Verify work authorization compliance. Proposers must certify their business status and, if applicable, demonstrate current enrollment in the federal E-Verify program for employees hired after enrollment who will perform contract-related work, with appropriate documentation including notarized affidavits required for submission. No incumbent vendor or current contractor information is provided in the available documentation. The contract is contingent upon appropriation and availability of sufficient funds, with the District retaining the right to terminate with sixty days' notice if funding becomes unavailable, and no specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the RFP materials.
