Council awards contracts for Memorial Building repairs, arena fire alarm, roofing and authorizes engineering work
Summary
Hibbing council approved a suite of project and maintenance contracts including a $775,000 award for Memorial Building ammonia‑room rehab, a $65,455 phase‑1 fire alarm contract for the Memorial Arena, a $79,707 roofing quote, and a $24,700 engineering agreement for Highland Hills Phase 1.
The Hibbing City Council on May 20 approved several construction and maintenance contracts aimed at repairs and capital work across city facilities and development sites.
City Service Director Mr. Rolla recommended awarding the Memorial Building ammonia‑room rehabilitation (an insurance claim stemming from a steam leak) to Max Grade Construction for $775,000, with work slated to start July 1 and finish by September so the building is ready for the next ice season. Council approved the award.
Rolla also presented a reduced‑scope first phase for the Memorial Arena fire‑alarm replacement and recommended awarding the phase‑1 contract to LVC for $65,455; the council approved that award with the remainder of the building expected to be completed in a later phase.
Rolla recommended a roofing replacement quote for the northwest side of the Memorial Building and the council approved a $79,707 award to Range Cornyx Roofing, with work planned for August. Separately, City Engineer Mr. Storey asked the council to approve a Widseth agreement for Highland Hills Phase 1 engineering tasks (survey, lot development, estimate) totaling $24,700; council approved that agreement as well.
Storey also described a change order to include an alley behind the Glacier/Grayshore shopping center in the city's mill and overlay paving project; anticipated change‑order cost ranged from $25,000 to $35,000 with an expected figure near $28,000–$29,000 depending on mill depth and mat thickness. Council approved the change using budget savings reported for the paving project.
Council members asked scheduling and scope questions and recorded one abstention (Councilor Hildebrand) on at least one vote; all presented awards and agreements were approved by voice votes.
