Tornado: Soldan ROOF & Tuckpointing

Saint Louis Public Schools (SLPS) is seeking qualified vendors for a comprehensive roof replacement and tuckpointing project at Soldan High School, addressing tornado damage sustained on May 16, 2025. The project involves multiple roofing system replacements across different building sections, including clay tile, modified bituminous membrane, PVC/TPA single-ply membrane, and EPDM membrane roofing systems. Additional scope includes copper roof accessories, chimney shroud installation and repair, standing seam copper roofing, copper dome and cupola restoration, tuckpointing and masonry repairs on nine chimneys, and limestone column replacement. Contractors must provide all necessary labor, materials, and permits, with specific requirements for installer qualifications, including a minimum of five years' experience and full-time on-site supervision. The procurement process requires electronic submission through the Euna Procurement portal, with key dates including a proposal submission period opening November 20, 2025, a question deadline of December 12, 2025, and a final proposal due date of December 23, 2025 at 12:00 PM CDT. Mandatory site visits are scheduled for December 4 and 5, 2025, covering multiple SLPS facilities to allow bidders to inspect project conditions.

The district has established several set-aside and compliance requirements for this procurement. There is a preference for Missouri-produced materials and a goal of achieving at least 25% Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and 5% Women's Business Enterprise (WBE) utilization. Vendors must provide comprehensive documentation, including E-Verify federal work authorization verification, W-9 and vendor registration, current SAM.GOV registration, and various insurance certificates. Specific insurance requirements include $3,000,000 in commercial general liability, workers' compensation per Missouri statute, $3,000,000 in automobile liability, and $1,000,000 in professional liability. Bidders must also submit a 5% Performance Bond or Certified Check upon award and provide a 100% Performance and Payment Bond. Additional compliance requirements include a No Boycott Israel Certification and verification of Missouri Secretary of State good standing. While no specific total project value is explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the roofing and restoration work suggests a significant investment, with the district reserving the right to reject any or all proposals and negotiate terms with selected firms.
