Tornado: Bryan Hill ROOF (Slate and PVC)

St. Louis Public Schools (SLPS) is soliciting bids for a comprehensive roof restoration and mitigation project at Bryan Hill Elementary School following tornado damage sustained on May 16, 2025. The project involves complete removal and replacement of existing roof systems in two sections: Section A (PVC membrane) and Section E (slate shingles), including removal of membrane, flashings, and insulation down to the roof decking. Specific deliverables include installing 1/2-inch wood fiber insulation, 60 mil PVC single-ply roof membrane, replacing 0.5 roof section of damaged slate shingles, replacing three damaged clay roof caps, repairing 10 feet of aluminum gutter downspout, and addressing 35 square feet of damaged ceiling plaster and paint in room 209A. Contractor qualifications require a minimum of five years' experience with a full-time on-site supervisor, and all work must comply with ASTM standards, NRCA guidelines, and SMACNA standards. The solicitation opened on November 20, 2025, with questions due by December 12, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. CDT, and proposals are due electronically via the Euna Procurement portal on December 23, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. CDT. Site walk-throughs are scheduled for December 4 and 5, 2025, with the Bryan Hill Elementary site visit specifically set for December 5 from 8:00 AM to 8:45 AM.

The procurement includes specific diversity and local business participation goals, with requirements for at least 25% Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and 5% Women's Business Enterprise (WBE) participation. Vendors must provide proof of multiple insurance coverages, including commercial general liability ($3,000,000 per occurrence), workers' compensation, automobile liability ($3,000,000 per occurrence), and professional liability insurance ($1,000,000 per claim). Additional mandatory compliance requirements include enrollment in the federal E-Verify work authorization program, submission of a No Boycott Israel Certification, and completion of background checks for personnel with student contact. The project is FEMA and SEMA-funded disaster recovery work, with a manufacturer warranty of 20 years for the roof system and a three-year installer warranty for labor and workmanship. While specific project budget details are not explicitly stated, vendors must submit a 5% bid bond or certified check as a performance guarantee. The district gives preference to firms based in the bi-state St. Louis metropolitan area when other considerations are equal, and all materials and work products developed will become the property of the school district.
