County to advertise bids for building roof replacement; staff corrects packet date
Summary
Directors authorized advertising of bids for a two-part county building roof replacement project, with advertisements scheduled in local papers and bids due and to be opened Sept. 1; staff corrected a packet typo regarding the bid opening date.
The board approved a request from the Physical Assets Department to advertise bids for the county building roof replacement, split into two projects (project A: penthouse and elevator machine-room roofs on the 14th floor; project B: the 5th-floor roof over the old jail) to allow possible separate contractors and completion before winter.
Bree Roberts, director of physical assets, said advertisements will run Aug. 6 and 13 in the Mishawaka Enterprise and Aug. 7 and 14 in the South Bend Tribune. Roberts noted a packet typo that had listed an August bid-opening date; she clarified that bids are due and will be read aloud at the Sept. 1 meeting at 11 a.m. The board approved the advertisement plan by a unanimous vote.
Why it matters: splitting the roof work into two projects increases the chance of contracting different vendors and aims to complete work before winter weather increases risk of damage to county facilities.
