Council awards museum painting contract to Rodriguez Painting under budget
Summary
The council accepted Rodriguez Painting’s low bid of $17,200 to repair and paint soffit and fascia on a city building; the amount is within the $20,000 line item in the budget and the council added a completion timeframe condition.
Spring City’s council voted to award a painting contract for exterior soffit and fascia work on a city‑owned building to Rodriguez Painting, whose low bid of $17,200 was accepted as under the $20,000 budgeted amount.
Council members said Rodriguez Painting had previously worked on town properties and received strong recommendations. Bids submitted included Total Coverage Painting at $38,154 and Hendrickson Painting at $31,622; Rodriguez’s $17,200 bid was the lowest. Council members included a schedule condition in the approval — if the contractor could not finish by a mutually agreed deadline (discussed in the meeting as near September), the council reserved the option to consider an alternate bidder.
Why it matters: The building, redeveloped and rededicated in recent years with help from the Friends of Historic Spring City and other donors, required repairs and painting to protect exterior wood and finish work.
What was decided: The city accepted Rodriguez Painting’s bid and approved the contract; the vote was unanimous.
Ending: Work will proceed under the contract terms and the city will follow up on scheduling and completion dates with the contractor.
