Three bids received for Grinnell roof repair; Tech Roofing lowest at about $38,010, to be paid from capital reserve
Summary
Staff presented three estimates to repair (not replace) the Grinnell roof: Tech Roofing $38,009.95, Viking Roofing $47,004.50 and Skyline Roofing $51,200. Committee discussion said the work would come from the capital improvements balance and members asked ARM/consultant to vet the lowest bidder for parity.
Facility staff told the committee they had received three bids for the Grinnell roof repair — Tech Roofing at $38,009.95, Viking Roofing at $47,004.50 and Skyline Roofing at $51,200 — and that Tech Roofing had previously worked on the West project. "If all things being equal," staff said, "I would say that we would be going with Tech Roofing because at $38,009.95 the second closest would be $47,000."
Funding and procedure: staff said the work would come from the district’s capital improvements balance; one committee member noted the capital reserve is already committed to other projects but that some funds remain. Members agreed to include the bids as attachments to the board packet and requested consultant verification (ARM/Gale) that the lowest bidder meets the district’s specifications and scope before proceeding.
Board authority and future planning: the committee discussed that, by precedent, staff and consultants can solicit bids without returning to the board for each vendor selection; members also discussed not depleting the capital reserve and the possibility of proposing a dedicated capital reserve warrant article in the next fiscal year to ensure sustainable funding for future repairs.
Next steps: staff will attach the three bids to the forthcoming board packet, ask ARM/consultant to confirm the low bid’s comparability, and present the materials at the Tuesday board meeting for further direction.
