Tornado: Dewey ROOF

St. Louis Public Schools (SLPS) is soliciting bids for a tornado damage roof repair project at Dewey facility, specifically seeking qualified vendors to restore and replace roofing damaged during a May 16, 2025 tornado event. The procurement involves two primary roofing scopes: clay tile roof restoration and modified bituminous membrane roofing installation, which include comprehensive requirements such as removing and replacing broken tiles, installing new underlayment and flashing, repairing wood decks, installing new gutters and downspouts, and addressing stone cap repairs on brick gable sections. Contractors must possess a minimum of five years' experience with clay tile roofing and comparable roofing systems, provide full-time on-site supervision, and submit extensive documentation including product data, samples, shop drawings, and manufacturer certifications. The solicitation opened on November 20, 2025, with a deadline for questions set for December 12, 2025, at 12:00 PM CDT, and proposals are due December 23, 2025, at 12:00 PM CDT via the Euna Procurement portal. Mandatory site walk-throughs are scheduled for December 4 and 5, 2025, covering multiple school facilities in St. Louis, with contractors required to inspect various sites to understand the project scope.

The district has established specific set-aside goals, targeting 25% Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and 5% Women's Business Enterprise (WBE) participation, with a preference for firms based in the bi-state St. Louis metropolitan area when other considerations are equal. Bidders must provide a 5% Bid Bond and will be required to obtain a 100% Performance and Payment Bond after award, with specific surety company requirements including licensing under Missouri Insurance Code and a minimum capacity of $5,000,000. Vendors must comply with numerous documentation requirements, including Federal Work Authorization (E-Verify), W-9, vendor registration, business licenses, SAM.GOV registration, Missouri Secretary of State good standing certification, and proof of required insurance coverage. While no specific contract value is listed, the comprehensive documentation and bonding requirements suggest a significant project scale. Prevailing wage requirements will apply, and weekly payroll submissions and Affidavits of Compliance with Prevailing Wage Law are mandatory prior to final payment. The project also includes warranty provisions, with manufacturers offering a 50-year limited warranty for clay tiles and contractors required to provide a minimum two-year workmanship warranty.
