Port approves CHG Building Systems bid to retrofit Hangars 5 and 6 roofs amid large budget shortfall
Summary
The Port of Bremerton accepted the lowest responsive bid for Hangers 5 and 6 after staff reported the bids exceeded the $600,000 budget; commissioners agreed to defer the maintenance‑shop roof and authorize the CEO to execute the contract.
Port of Bremerton commissioners voted to accept the low responsive bid from CHG Building Systems Inc. for roof overlays on Hangars 5 and 6 and authorized the CEO to execute the construction contract.
Staff told the board three bids were received, one was nonresponsive, and the lowest responsive bid for Hangars 5 and 6 was presented as $5,548,626.26. Commissioners discussed that the capital plan had originally allocated about $400,000 for hangar overlays and $200,000 for the maintenance‑shop roof (a $600,000 total). Because the responsive bid substantially exceeded that allocation, commissioners agreed to proceed with Hangers 5 and 6 this year and push the maintenance‑shop roof to next year to limit immediate expenditures and prioritize tenant protection.
Commissioner (motion) moved to accept the bid and authorize the CEO to execute the construction contract; the motion was seconded and carried with all present voting aye. During discussion staff said the overlay approach (a 3‑inch installation over the existing metal roof rather than a full tear‑off) would allow work to proceed without clearing hangars and that the expected lifespan of the overlay is about 50 years.
Note on agenda transcription: the agenda lists “CHG Building Systems Inc.” as the bidder; the motion language in audio was transcribed once as “CFG” — the port agenda identifies CHG in the action item heading.
