Adams Receives Two Bids For Town Hall Roof
CAPTION HERE
The only bids were from Titan Roofing Inc. of Springfield and Silktown Roofing of Manchester, Conn.
"We hope we will have some interest, but a single solid bid will do," interim Town Administrator Donna Cesan said at a Selectmen’s meeting before the bids were due. "So, we are hoping with the bid results we can go forward with this project."
Titan Roofing came in as the low bidder with a base bid of $163,000 and four alternate bids of $47,000, $38,000, $16,000, and $29,000.
Silktown Roofing came in a little higher with a bid of $209,000. Silktown also submitted four alternative bids of $47,628, $32,175, $15,345, and $91,500.
The aging roof has not been maintained since the renovation of the building and is in need of new roofing, flashing, siding, painting and other general work. The main roof of the building was shingled more than 40 years ago. The town moved into the former American Legion building over in 1997.
The clock tower is also not functioning, and the town has yet to decide if it will restore the clock to working order.
Some $220,000 was allocated in 2017 to make repairs to Town Hall.
The bids were initially solicited in July, however, because only one contractor bid, the town reposted the project.
The lone bid in July was from Casanova Remodeling LLC of Litchfield, Conn., with base bid of $49,500.
