Summary
Following a July leak and contractor inspections, the council approved a proposal from Bridal and Sons (Riedel and Son Inc. referenced) to replace the senior center roof at a cost not to exceed $52,706.46, to be paid from 2025 contingency funds; staff included a contingency of $9,750 for potential decking replacement.
The Fort Atkinson City Council on Sept. 16 accepted a contractor proposal not to exceed $52,706.46 to replace the roof at the Fort Atkinson Senior Center, with funds to come from the 2025 contingency budget. Parks and Recreation Director (presenter) said multiple contractors inspected a July roof leak and all recommended full replacement. Two contractors quoted asphalt shingles with a 5-year workmanship and 40-year material warranty; Bridal and Sons submitted a proposal using Owens Corning shingles that included a 20-year workmanship and 50-year material warranty. Staff also recommended a decking-replacement contingency of $9,750 in case additional decking is found during work; Bridal and Sons’ total proposed cost including the contingency is $52,706.46. Staff said funds would come from the 2025 contingency budget and acknowledged that approving the proposal would cause the contingency budget to go slightly over but that some flexibility exists. A council member asked whether bidders could install a metal roof; staff said most city facilities have asphalt shingle roofs and the proposal was consistent with other facilities. Council voted to accept the Bridal and Sons proposal and authorize the work, with members noting hope that decking replacement will be limited so the project stays within budget.
