Scofield Awards School Roof Contract to Low Bidder, Plans Three-way Funding Split

Council reviewed two bids for the local school roof—one near $51,487 and a low bid of $25,009.50—covering tear-off, new underlayment, ice-and-water protection, drip edge, pipe flashing and new landmark shingles. Mayor Lander described the work and read parts of the low bid including a $25 per-sheet allowance to replace any rotted sheeting.

Council members compared the bids, discussed likely replacement of some sheeting and whether the lower bid included materials and labor for sheet replacement. One member noted the $25-per-sheet allowance was reasonable compared with other bids' $60-per-sheet numbers. After discussion about funding sources, Councilmember Brad Peacock moved to accept the Architectural Metals LLC proposal for $25,009.50 and to fund the project roughly one-third from the City General Fund, one-third from the School Restoration Fund, and one-third from the Pleasant Valley Days Fund. The motion was seconded and advanced; council members signaled support and discussion centered on making the funding split workable for upcoming budgets.

The transcript does not record a formal roll-call tally tied to the motion in the same way as some other votes, but council discussion proceeded and staff indicated they would have the contract ready for the mayor to sign. Council members asked staff to ensure adequate funding and noted the bid was good for 15 days. The council also discussed minor adjustments and potential additional costs for replacement sheeting, estimating roughly $6,000–$7,000 from each fund if three-way split used.

Next steps: staff will finalize contract documents and the mayor will sign authority to proceed, with funds drawn from the three identified accounts as approved by the council.
