Tornado: Stevens ROOF

Saint Louis Public Schools (SLPS) is soliciting proposals for a tornado damage roof replacement project at Stevens Elementary School, located in St. Louis City, Missouri. The project involves comprehensive roof repair and replacement for the school's gym and cafeteria, specifically requiring removal and replacement of the existing roof system with a new SBS modified bituminous membrane roofing system. The scope includes installing a two-ply modified bitumen roof system over tapered polyisocyanurate and wood fiber insulation, replacing two fresh air intake vents damaged during the May 16, 2025 tornado, and adding new lead flashings, metal counterflashings, and related accessories. Qualified vendors must have a minimum of five years of experience installing comparable roofing products and provide a full-time on-site supervisor. The project requires a 20-year manufacturer's warranty and a 3-year installer's warranty, with roofing system materials needing to meet specific standards including FM Global 4470 and Class A fire-test exposure requirements. Proposals are due on December 23, 2025, at 12:00 PM CDT via the Euna Procurement portal, with mandatory site walk-throughs scheduled for December 4-5, 2025, across multiple SLPS facilities.

The procurement includes significant set-aside and diversity requirements, with a goal of at least 25% Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and 5% Women's Business Enterprise (WBE) participation. Vendors must complete several mandatory compliance documents, including E-Verify authorization, W-9 registration, proof of Missouri business licensure, and a No Israel Boycott Certification. Bidders are required to submit a 5% bid bond and will need to provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including $3,000,000 in commercial general liability and $1,000,000 in professional liability. While specific project budget details are not explicitly stated, the procurement documents suggest this is a federally-assisted project involving FEMA and SEMA recovery funds for tornado damage restoration. Vendors must be registered in SAM.gov and comply with prevailing wage requirements. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder who meets all specification requirements, with final approval contingent on the Board of Education's authorization.
