Board approves Platinum roofing contract, separates solar deinstallation work
Summary
After reviewing three bids, trustees approved Platinum Roofing for a full town-hall roof replacement with conditions requiring town approval of any subcontractor and removal of solar deinstall/reinstall from the roofing contract; a separate Empower bid to remove and later reinstall the solar array was approved.
Trustees selected Platinum Roofing to replace the Town Hall roof after extensive discussion about bids, warranties and contractor experience. Members expressed concern that one low bid lacked clear scope and permit evidence and asked staff to check references before work begins.
Public works staff said the town needs the roof repair before winter or the project could be delayed into 2027. After debate, a trustee moved to approve Platinum’s bid with two stipulations: that any subcontractor must receive town approval and that removal/reinstallation of the solar array not be part of the roofing contract. The motion passed by voice vote.
The board separately approved a quote from Empower Energy to deinstall and later reinstall the town-hall solar panels. Staff explained independent handling of the solar work preserves flexibility if the town later pursues a solar upgrade; trustees approved that contract by voice vote.
Trustees instructed staff to confirm permits and contractor references before mobilization and to return with any required contract language (for example, limiting subcontracting or clarifying warranty responsibilities).
