Request for Qualifications: Design Services- Roof Replacement at Rock Ridge Elementary School

Wilson County Board of Education is seeking Statements of Qualifications from firms to provide comprehensive design, bidding, permitting assistance, and construction administration services for a roof replacement project at Rock Ridge Elementary School in Wilson, North Carolina. The scope of work includes the installation of a new standing seam metal roofing system on the rear fourth and fifth grade classroom building, gym perimeter, and connectors, as well as a lifecycle cost analysis to determine if the gym and auditorium roofs require coating repair or full replacement. Additionally, the project involves replacing single-pane gym windows with energy-efficient, tinted storefront window systems. The total project budget is not to exceed 1,800,000 dollars, with funding provided through the Public School Repair and Renovation Fund. The selection process is qualifications-based, meaning fees are not considered during the initial phase. Proposals are due by 3:00 p.m. EST on October 23, 2026, and must be submitted as five hard copies and one digital copy delivered in person or by courier. Evaluation is based on expertise in school projects, staffing and design team qualifications, proximity to the site, and construction administration experience. Selected firms will be invited for interviews, after which contract terms and fees will be negotiated. The project requires compliance with Wilson County building codes and North Carolina General Statute 143-64.31, with a state goal of 10 percent minority business participation.
