Summary

The council approved a contract award to Colossal Contractors Inc. not to exceed $122,370 for exterior deck repairs and painting at City Hall, funded in the FY26 capital budget. The project includes replacing about 1,400 sq ft of porch decking, 21 balcony posts, painting, and a five-year warranty.

The Westminster mayor and common council voted on May 11 to award a contract to Colossal Contractors Inc. for exterior repairs at City Hall (1838 Emerald Hill Lane) under the fiscal‑year 26 capital budget.

Staff presented the procurement background: the city issued a request for bids on March 3, 2026, with four bids received. Staff recommended Colossal Contractors Inc. as the most economically beneficial bidder; the recommended contract amount is $122,370 and the capital budget includes a $124,250 allocation for the work. The staff recommendation described the scope: removal and replacement of approximately 1,400 square feet of mahogany porch decking with manufacturer‑specified heritage deck boards, painting per specifications, replacement of 21 balcony posts with aluminum or vinyl posts (existing railing to be reattached), and a five‑year labor and materials warranty.

During council discussion a member asked for clarification on the scope; staff confirmed square footage and that posts would be replaced. Council moved, seconded and approved the bid by voice vote.

What happens next: Staff will finalize the contract with Colossal Contractors Inc. and schedule work in coordination with the city’s capital project timeline; the staff estimated work could be completed by June 30, 2026, subject to contract execution and scheduling.
