Mesa County Valley School District 51 is seeking a Roofing Architect/Consultant to provide comprehensive services for a district-wide roofing improvement project spanning from 2026 to 2030. The procurement involves assessment, design, and replacement of approximately 660,761 square feet of roofing systems across sixteen buildings, including complex solar photovoltaic (PV) system removal and reinstallation. The selected consultant will be responsible for a full range of professional services including schematic design, design development, construction documents, bidding, construction administration, and project closeout. Proposals are due on October 23, 2025, by 5:00 PM Mountain Time, with potential interviews scheduled for the week of November 3, 2025. Evaluation will occur using a 100-point scoring matrix that assesses cover letter, firm information, team qualifications, project experience, references, and fee proposal.

The solicitation does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The total preliminary budget for hard construction costs is $7,875,000, with individual facility budgets ranging from $150,000 to $950,000. Three buildings (Dual Immersion Academy Main Building, Rocky Mountain Elementary, and Bookcliff Middle School Main Building) currently have existing solar systems installed by High Noon Solar, which will require careful integration and temporary removal during roofing work. The contract will be based on a modified AIA B101-2017 standard form, with potential additional grant funding from sources like BEST, GOCO, and DOLA. Insurance requirements include general liability coverage of $2 million aggregate and $1 million per occurrence, as well as professional liability insurance. The district reserves the right to reject any proposal, negotiate with qualified sources, or award the contract without further discussion, emphasizing flexibility in the procurement process.
