Scobey trustees accept Dale Brothers bid to re-roof elementary and music buildings
Summary
The Scobey K-12 Schools board voted to award a $112,843 contract to Dale Brothers for Option 2 (90-mil single-ply membrane) on the elementary and music building roofs, approving an associated membrane-prep line item after discussion of prevailing-wage specs and warranties.
A board member moved and the Scobey K-12 Schools board voted to accept a bid from Dale Brothers for $112,843 to replace the elementary and music building roofs using a 90-mil single-ply membrane, the board heard at its regular meeting.
The motion to award "Option 2 in the amount of the 90 mil in the amount of $112,843 to complete the elementary and music" buildings was made by a trustee and seconded; the chair called the question and the motion passed by voice vote. Trustees asked staff and the contractor about additional line items; the agenda packet and discussion identified a $23,000 membrane-prep item for a street-side run that the board approved as part of the work.
A presenting contractor spoke at length about bid specifications and legal compliance. He told trustees that state public-works rules require prevailing-wage language in bid specifications and warned of liability if the language is omitted: "You're required by law to pay it. If you don't put it in your bid specs and people then don't have to bid that, then the workers come back to the school. The school has to pay off." The contractor also recommended the 90-mil single-ply membrane for durability, noting manufacturer material warranties of roughly 40–45 years and a 3-inch-hail warranty for certain products.
Trustees and the contractor discussed expected remaining life of the current roofs and tradeoffs between heavier membranes and thinner 45-mil systems. Board members asked about staging and timing; the contractor noted insulation assessment and conservation steps to limit disposal and said crews would coordinate telephone or other work on the same trip where feasible.
The board authorized the contract award and the membrane-prep work as presented. Next steps identified during the meeting included coordinating site access and finalizing insurance/bond documents and the building-permit stamping required by state code.
Action at a glance: the board approved awarding the roofing contract to Dale Brothers and authorized membrane-prep work; the contract award was presented and approved at the meeting.
