PROJECT OBJECTIVE: The Lake Park Town Hall is a nationally recognized historic building that is open daily for Town Business. In May of 2015, an independent consultant concluded that the roof is in decline (and) is likely to fail if a significant wind event were to occur. Preserving the Town Hall ensures it remains open for public use. While the building currently remains structurally sound for the most part, there are structural defects that have been identified in some of the roof framing members. The Towns structural engineer has developed recommendations for repairs of these defects. The objective of this Request for Proposals (RFP) is to secure a qualified and experienced contractor with expertise in structural framing and repairs. Through this RFP, the Town will competitively solicit bid proposals for the structural repair work of the Town Hall building consistent with the Towns procurement policy. PROJECT SCOPE: This is a structural repair to existing roof truss framing project.
