Roosevelt awards main building roof contract to Pitt Roofing, caps spending at $290,000
Summary
The Roosevelt City Council approved awarding the main building roof replacement to Pitt Roofing, setting a not-to-exceed amount of $290,000 to allow a $5,000 contingency; staff noted the higher competing bid included additional decking replacement.
Roosevelt — The City Council voted to award the city’s main building roof-replacement contract to Pitt Roofing with a not-to-exceed amount of $290,000, council members said during the regular meeting.
City staff told the council they received two bids: “Skyline came in at $544,000, and Pitt came in at $285,000,” a staff member said. Staff and councilmembers said the lower bid from Pitt appeared to align with the city’s budget but cautioned that differences in scope — particularly replacement of decking and sheathing — could drive costs higher.
A staff member advised the council to check manufacturer warranty and installation procedures (the report named Carlisle as the manufacturer). Councilmembers discussed change-order procedures and agreed that any decking replacement would be handled through a formal change order. “If it becomes an issue, they would come back,” a councilmember said.
The council voted to award the contract to Pitt Roofing and limit the city’s obligation to $290,000, allowing a $5,000 cushion to avoid an immediate return to council for small overages. The transcript records the motion and a unanimous approval; the meeting did not record an exact roll-call tally in the public transcript.
The council directed staff to confirm warranty and scope details and to work with the selected contractor on the final contract and any required change orders. The city plans to begin work before the forecasted rainy period.
