Committee approves full City Hall roof replacement, including gutters and gazebo demolition
Summary
The Ways and Means Committee approved a contract recommendation to complete City Hall roof replacement (including gutters and demolition of an upper-level gazebo) and to proceed with a bid amount presented in the meeting; FEMA will reimburse up to a capped amount (roughly $260,000) and the committee voted 4–0 to proceed with the full scope.
City staff presented updated bids and scope options for a City Hall roof replacement, and the Ways and Means Committee voted to approve the full replacement package including gutters and demolition of the upstairs gazebo to access the flat roof. The motion, moved by Alderman Gould and seconded by Alderman Theiss, carried 4–0.
Staff described a Sourcewell/Frederick Roofing proposal and said the total price presented for the full replacement was approximately $384,000 (transcript formatting shows a figure rendered as 384.39372); FEMA capital funding will reimburse a capped portion of the project (staff cited roughly $260,000). The FEMA-covered work focuses on the flat roof and is already included in the 2024 capital budget; additional shingled sections, gutters and downspouts would increase the total cost but were presented as part of a single completion option to avoid future inefficiencies.
Staff warned that the gazebo must be removed to access the flat roof; that demolition cost is not FEMA-eligible and would be funded from Brentwood’s capital budget. Committee members noted lifecycle and efficiency benefits from completing all work now rather than phasing the replacement and accepted staff’s recommendation to award the full package to the recommended contractor.
Next steps: staff will proceed with contracting for the full roof replacement scope and coordinate FEMA reimbursement processes; the committee recorded the recommendation to the Board of Aldermen with a 4–0 vote.
