Council reviews single bid for urgent City Hall winterization; seeks additional quote
Summary
A contractor submitted a focused bid (under $10,000) to patch siding, replace fascia/gutters and repair a roof leak at City Hall. Council agreed to hold award pending one more contractor quote but emphasized the work should proceed soon to avoid further damage.
City staff presented a bid for urgent winterization repairs at City Hall covering targeted patching (pressure‑treated plywood up to 3 feet in back), fascia board replacement, new gutters and roof-leak repair. The mayor explained a larger prior bid for full siding replacement and fireproof materials was too costly, so staff solicited a reduced scope for immediate needs.
Council discussed the procurement approach and the desirability of obtaining multiple quotes; staff said they prefer three bids when possible but that local contractors have been difficult to secure in recent years. A council member offered to refer a licensed contractor; staff will reach out to On Top Construction and others. The mayor said she will reserve award until at least one more bid arrives but emphasized timing to prevent further weather damage.
No vote was taken to award the contract at this meeting; staff will return with additional bids and a recommendation.
