INTRODUCTION
The attached resolution authorizes the award of the public improvement construction
contract for the Fire Station 6 Roof Replacement Project.
BACKGROUND
The existing roof on Fire Station 6 had temporary repairs made to the roof in areas where
water was infiltrating. The repairs were made at the same time as the new stair tower was
constructed and other upgrades to the station were completed. This spring the temporary
repairs to the roof failed in a few places causing water to leak into the living/working areas
of the station. It was determined at that time that the roof was beyond repair and needed
to be replaced. Included with the roof replacement project will be eliminating the existing
access to the roof through the old tower. A new access point will be located near the
center of the building to allow a safer entrance to the roof.
DISCUSSION
The Fire Station 6 Roof Replacement Project will provide for the replacement of existing
rubber roof, coping, gutter and downspout with new roofing system, copings, gutter, and
downspout. Add new roof hatch and access ladder.
BID RESULTS
The City received informal bids on June 5, 2025, for the Fire Station 6 Roof Replacement
Project. Jim Giese Commercial Roofing of Dubuque, IA, submitted the low bid in the amount
of $81,180.00 which is 4.49% below the architect's estimate. A summary of the bid proposals
