Summary

Council approved a $188,000 low bid (with a 15% contingency) for phase 2 painting of the Sunset Center facade to the low bidder Color Nucor; staff said the project will complete before fiscal year end and contingency disbursements require written authorization.

The council voted to award the Phase 2 facade painting contract for the Sunset Center to the low responsive bidder, Color Nucor. Administrative analyst Tom Ford told the council the work will continue the prior phase and include similar hazmat remediation steps and preparatory work; the base bid was $140,000 with selected bid additives bringing the expected contract to about $188,000. Staff requested a 15 percent contingency to cover unforeseen issues; contingency expenditures require written authorization.

Ford said the phase is expected to finish before the end of the current fiscal year and that the bid came in below the $250,000 appropriation for the project. Councilmembers asked a brief question from a nearby resident about paint prep on adjacent cottages; Ford confirmed detailed prep specifications were included in the bid packet and staff will hold the contractor to those standards.

Vote: The resolution to execute the contract (Resolution 2026‑004) was adopted by roll call; the clerk recorded affirmative votes from all council members present. The contract will be executed and staff will oversee construction and contingency use.

What’s next: Staff will finalize the contract, issue a notice to proceed and monitor work to ensure hazardous‑materials remediation and surface prep comply with contract specifications.
