About this opportunity
The City of Gloversville is seeking a prime contractor for the Dome Restoration Project at the Gloversville Public Library, located at 58 East Fulton Street in Hamilton County, New York. The project involves comprehensive restoration of the library's historic dome, including asbestos abatement, copper roofing replacement, and detailed architectural work. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for September 24, 2025, at 10:00 a.m., with roof access via ladder and hatch. Sealed bids will be accepted until October 9, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. at the Gloversville City Hall, with immediate public bid opening. Bidding documents are available electronically for a non-refundable $100 fee, viewable online from August 18, 2025. Contractors must submit a complete Bid Form in duplicate, with all required attachments, and cannot qualify their bid. The project has a defined timeline, with substantial completion set for June 1, 2026, and final completion 14 days thereafter.
The contract includes specific requirements for minority and women-owned business participation, with a 10% goal for each category. While there is no Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Set Aside, bidders must provide proof of New York State business registration and appropriate licensing. The project is partially funded through grants from the NYS Environmental Protection Act and the Downtown Revitalization Initiative, requiring compliance with state contract regulations, including non-collusion certification and non-discrimination requirements. Bidders must submit a bid bond for 5% of the bid price, with performance and payment bonds required for 100% of the contract sum. All work will be subject to prevailing wage rates for Fulton County, New York. Bid offers will remain valid for 45 calendar days after submission, and the owner reserves the right to accept or reject any or all bids. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive restoration nature of the project suggests a significant investment in preserving the library's historic dome.
