Description
The City of Missoula is soliciting proposals from manufacturers and suppliers of living roof modules and plants for the Missoula Public Library. The project involves retrofitting the roof of the library from rock ballast to a living roof system, which should include modules, growing medium, and climate-adapted plants. The primary objectives of the living roof are stormwater runoff reduction, green infrastructure demonstration, energy efficiency, and pollinator habitat. The City is looking for a supplier who can provide a best-value solution based on criteria such as price, regional experience, adaptation of plants to the local climate, warranty and maintenance support, and capability to meet the schedule.
• The living roof system should include modules, growing medium, and climate-adapted plants.
• The system should be designed to reduce stormwater runoff, demonstrate green infrastructure, improve energy efficiency, and provide a pollinator habitat.
• The supplier should have experience with similar projects in Montana or similar climates.
• The supplier should be able to deliver up to 13,000 square feet of plant materials and modules at one install date.
• The supplier should provide trained personnel for installation assistance and have a warranty and maintenance support program in place.
