Purpose & Explanation
For the last several months, Public Properties staff has worked closely with an engineering firm to develop technical specifications to perform several improvements to the Town Hall building. These specifications include the removal of the existing failed paint surfaces, repairs to both wood and brick surfaces, the replacement of failed glass panes in windows and the application of new paint. These specifications were used to publicly bid the project and bids were opened on August 7. The following bids were received:
* Lou Ritenour Decorators $127,000.00
* Wilson Restoration, Inc. $196,788.00
* M-A Building and Maintenance $209,087.00
* Renaissance Restoration, Ltd. $249,000.00
Staff wishes to proceed with the lowest and best bidder and to include a 10% contingency to cover any unknowns that may arise as the project progresses. The 2017 budget included $140,000 for this capital project. Public Properties staff is familiar with the contractor as they have previously completed successful maintenance projects on the Town Hall facility and the downtown Parking Terrace structure.
Timing Considerations
Staff requests the use of emergency language to expedite the contract and begin work before the arrival of winter weather. Work is expected to be completed this fall.
