Roof Restoration at Scales Elementary School

The City of Murfreesboro is requesting sealed bids for roof restoration at Scales Elementary School under ITB-40-2026, with bids due June 23, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. CST — a hard deadline that has already passed as of the posting date. Bidders must be licensed general contractors in Tennessee.

The scope is restoration of the existing EPDM membrane roof system covering 135,000 square feet at 2340 St Andrews Drive, including a non-destructive infrared moisture survey, removal and replacement of wet insulation, localized EPDM repairs (membrane patches, seam repairs, flashing repairs, penetration repairs, and roof drain repairs), surface cleaning and preparation, and installation of a fully reinforced fluid-applied coating system with reinforcement at penetrations and transitions. New coating walkways are specified at 120 mil dry film thickness with contrasting grey color and minimum 30-inch width. The fluid-applied system must be installed per manufacturer's written requirements with a manufacturer representative coordinating to ensure warranty issuance. Work must maintain weather-tight conditions throughout and be substantially completed within 90 calendar days from notice to proceed. The building remains occupied during construction; disruptive work is scheduled during summer break or outside school hours.

Bid security of 5 percent of the bid amount is required. The successful contractor must provide performance and labor/material payment bonds at 100 percent of contract sum. Insurance requirements include commercial general liability of $2 million per occurrence, workers' compensation per Tennessee statute, auto liability of $1 million, professional liability of $1 million, environmental liability of $1 million, and umbrella coverage of $5 million.

Bids are structured as unit price proposals for six work categories (wet insulation removal, EPDM patch repair, seam repair, flashing repair, penetration repair, and roof drain repair) with quantity allowances established for the base bid. Liquidated damages are $200 per calendar day for delays beyond the completion date. All bids must comply with Tennessee's Drug-Free Workplace Act, Iran Divestment Act, and non-boycott of Israel requirements. A pre-bid conference was scheduled for June 9, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. at Scales Elementary School. Bids were to be submitted electronically through OpenGov.
