Council reviews library renovation bids and available construction funds
Summary
Council reviewed two contractor quotes for the HP app library renovation, discussed scope (doors, trim, shelving removal, painting), and noted a remaining construction-in-progress balance of $66,001.86; members asked for clarifying pricing and painting quotes before awarding work.
Council reviewed two quotes for the library renovation (one from Mahan Construction and a second from a firm referenced as 'Workforce'). Staff reported they had spent time on-site with an estimator to verify door and trim details and that some final pricing arrived immediately before the meeting. The work discussed included removing and reinstalling shelving, painting, trim and doors, and potential floor work.
Jennifer reported that after removing estimated costs for the elevator and other obligations, the construction-in-progress balance stood at $66,001.86. Members discussed differences in the bids: one contractor had deeper expertise but was more expensive; the other appeared lower-cost but with a smaller crew. Council asked staff to obtain clarification on start dates, painting scope and shelving removal and to obtain a final price and references before making a final selection at a subsequent meeting.
Council set follow-up items for staff to contact contractors for additional detail and to include painting and shelving removal costs in the final comparison before a vote.
