Committee forwards $400,000 plan and Hogan bid for amphitheater stage cover to full council
Summary
A city committee voted to forward a staff recommendation to fund and award construction of a permanent amphitheater stage cover to Hogan Construction Group, using a $400,000 project budget that relies on $177,000 in grants and roughly $222,000 from the HNA fund balance.
A city committee voted to forward a staff recommendation to the full City Council to build a permanent stage cover for the Malden Cultural Center amphitheater and to select Hogan Construction Group LLC as the lowest responsive bidder.
Staff said the city issued a request for proposals in early January and received seven quotes. Gina McAtee presented the results, saying Hogan’s proposal fully covers the existing stage, locates columns outside the stage platform to preserve sight lines and includes a painted standing-seam metal roof, basic overhead lighting and a finish warranty.
McAtee told the committee Hogan submitted the most comprehensive response and could complete installation before the city’s summer concert series, eliminating the need to rent a temporary cover. The base price listed in staff materials was $365,000, with optional and site items described as $12,000 for stone decorative footers, $10,000 for a truss frame to support rigging and $13,000 for signage and contingency. Staff said the project budget is $400,000 and that the city has identified approximately $177,000 in part grants and state tax grant funding; the remaining balance would come from the HNA fund balance.
Committee members voiced no opposition and took a voice vote to forward the funding plan and recommendation of Hogan to the full council. McAtee confirmed there was no insurance recovery for the prior donated stage cover because of the materials and how the original cover was provided.
The committee packet included photos, scoring tables and a timeline that showed Hogan could install the structure within about 12 weeks of engagement. Staff said the bid includes a 35-year finish warranty and a 20-year watertightness warranty for the roof finish.
The council will consider the funding resolution and the contract award at a future full-council meeting. If approved by council, the project would proceed toward site preparation and erection of the steel structure described in the RFP response.
McAtee provided the committee materials and answered technical questions about scope, schedule and warranty during the presentation.
