Lenox awards museum and band shell repair project to Schwartzel Construction for $230,533
Summary
The council awarded a single bid of $230,533 to Schwartzel Construction to repair the museum and band shell; the project exceeds the current $150,000 budget and council approved pulling roughly $60,000 from fund 0212.
The Lenox City Council voted to award the museum and band shell repair project to Schwartzel Construction for $230,533.
City staff said two bids were received with wide variation and recommended awarding the contract to Schwartzel Construction. The FY2025 budget included $150,000 for museum repairs; staff said adding the band shell increased the projected total and that about $60,000 would be pulled from fund 0212 to cover the difference, including shingles and related costs.
A staff member said a recently required custom color could be removed from the scope to reduce cost by about $15,000. The contractor will provide a schedule after ordering materials; staff estimated work would begin roughly 45 to 60 days after materials are ordered. Council members asked for an itemized schedule of values and clarification on which line items cover the band shell versus the museum; staff said the bid tab did not separate those amounts but that contract values would break them out.
Council approved the award on a voice vote; the motion carried. No additional contract language was finalized during the meeting.
