Summary
After receiving six bids, the board approved Encore’s low roofing bid for the high-school wrestling-roof replacement at $139,300; staff noted a 20-year warranty, a four-day projected timeline and an estimated $30,000 charge if roof-mounted solar must be removed and reinstalled
The North Scott School Board on Sept. 22 approved a $139,300 contract with Encore (Encore Roofing) to replace the wrestling room roof at the high school.
Board packet materials showed six bids were received. The presenter said Encore’s price was unusually low because the owner intends to work with a small crew and said he is on the job personally; staff confirmed Encore provided references. The presenter warned that removing and reinstalling solar equipment on the roof could add roughly $30,000 to the job if required.
Board members asked whether the bid covered the entire roof, the warranty and timeline. Staff said the contract covers the full roof, carries a 20-year warranty and is estimated to be a four-day job the contractor will fit between larger projects this fall. Staff and board members said work would be external only and should not interfere with interior use of the facility.
A motion to approve Encore’s contract was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
Board members asked staff to prioritize scheduling so the work is done before inclement weather and to confirm whether Encore is locally based; staff later said Encore is located in Iowa. The board will see any project details and schedule updates through usual facilities reporting.
