GRIP 31 N. Main St. Project

The City of Gloversville is requesting sealed bids on exterior renovations at 31 North Main Street, including roofing, exterior painting, patio stairs, and exterior window glazing, with bids due March 24, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. at City Hall. MBE and WBE contracting goals are 10 percent each; no prior identical or substantially similar contracts have been awarded in the past five years.

The project scope comprises two primary work streams: roofing (removal of three existing layers, replacement of rotted decking, new insulation, fully adhered EPDM system with drainage and edge metal flashing) and painting with window repair (broken window replacement, reglazed putty work, complete exterior painting of front and rear facades, deck staining on three floors, tree trimming for access, and all equipment including boom lift). Lead-based paint is assumed present; all work must comply with EPA lead-safe work practices and the Program Policy for Lead-Based Paint, with documentation of the contractor's EPA certification required. Contractors must submit itemized pricing across ten trade categories: electric, plumbing, heating, roofing, carpentry, windows, insulation, masonry, painting, and other specified work.

Work must commence within 30 calendar days of contract award and be completed within 90 calendar days of start unless otherwise agreed in writing. A ten-year workmanship warranty is required for roofing. The contractor is responsible for all labor, materials, equipment, dumpsters, cranes, and landfill costs. Material substitutions require pre-approval by the Program Inspector, and final inspections with certificates of compliance must be completed before final payment.

Prospective bidders must conduct site inspections; scheduling is required by contacting the project manager at (518) 921-4041 or ricmarsolutions@gmail.com. Bids must be accompanied by a Non-Collusive Bidding Certification, a Statement of Bidder's Qualifications (including company history, years in business, character of work performed, recent project examples with costs and timelines, and two professional references), and bank references. Contractors must obtain City of Gloversville building permits and provide proof of liability and worker's compensation insurance prior to work commencement. No contract value is specified.
