Tornado: Patrick Henry ROOF

Saint Louis Public Schools (SLPS) is seeking sealed proposals for a comprehensive roofing repair project at Patrick Henry School, necessitated by tornado damage sustained on May 16, 2025. The procurement is a specialized construction contract focused on full roof restoration, including removal and replacement of asphalt shingles, wood deck replacement, new underlayment installation, lead flashing, architectural shingles, gutters, downspouts, and stone cap repairs on brick gable sections. Qualified vendors must provide a manufacturer-authorized installation with specific warranty requirements: a 30-year prorated material warranty with three non-prorated years, a five-year wind-speed warranty covering damage up to 120 mph, and a three-year workmanship warranty. The proposal was released on November 20, 2025, with questions accepted until December 12, 2025 at 12:00 PM CDT, and final proposals due by December 23, 2025 at 12:00 PM CDT through the Euna Procurement electronic bidding portal. Site walk-throughs are scheduled for December 4 and 5, 2025, across multiple SLPS facilities, allowing potential bidders to assess project conditions.

The district has established specific set-aside goals, requiring 25% Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and 5% Women's Business Enterprise (WBE) participation. Bidders must register with the Bonfire Interactive Procurement Portal and provide comprehensive documentation, including W-9 forms, business licenses, Missouri Secretary of State good standing certification, insurance certificates, E-Verify agreements, and SAM.GOV registration. Vendors must submit a 5% performance bond or certified check with their proposal, which will later convert to a 100% performance and payment bond. Insurance requirements are stringent, including $3,000,000 commercial general liability per occurrence, $1,000,000 per person liability, workers' compensation, and automobile liability coverage. The district gives preference to Missouri-manufactured products and firms based in the St. Louis metropolitan area when other considerations are equal. While no specific total contract value is disclosed, the project involves comprehensive roof restoration following FEMA and SEMA-approved damage assessment, suggesting a potentially significant investment in school infrastructure reconstruction.
