New Roof and painting of Historic Museum

The Town of Lake Pleasant in Hamilton County, New York is seeking a qualified contractor to complete a comprehensive restoration project for the Historic Museum, a significant cultural asset built in 1894. The procurement opportunity involves two primary scope elements: complete roof replacement and exterior painting, with specific technical requirements for each component. For the roof, the contractor must remove the existing steel roof, replace any rotted decking and drip edge, and install new ice and water shields and flashing with a complementary metal roofing system. The painting scope involves extensive lead-based paint remediation, following EPA's Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program (RRP) guidelines, which includes HEPA vacuuming, spot priming with Zinsser Cover Stain, applying lead encapsulation paint via sprayer, and using Phenoseal for caulking. The primary objectives are to stabilize the building's exterior, prevent further structural damage, and protect the museum's historical exhibits. The contract opportunity (ID: 6852913dcd540e672e0905fa) was posted on June 18, 2025, with bid submissions due by July 11, 2025, at 3:00 PM, and bids will be publicly opened on July 7, 2025, at 7:00 PM. The project is located at 2885 State Route 8, Speculator, NY 12164, with a proposed contract term of six months.

The contract does not include any specific set-aside designations for service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, and there are no listed incumbent vendors or restrictions on business entity participation. No prior awarded contracts for identical or substantially similar procurements were identified in the solicitation. The location is within Hamilton County, which has a FIPS Code of 36041, and the procurement is being conducted by New York State (State ID: 65a95d80d947088ac3098202). While specific budget ranges were not explicitly detailed in the solicitation, the comprehensive nature of the restoration work—involving roof replacement, structural repairs, and lead-based paint remediation—suggests a potentially significant investment in preserving this historic municipal asset. Contractors responding to this opportunity should be prepared to demonstrate expertise in historic building restoration, lead-safe work practices, roofing installation, and exterior painting techniques, with a particular focus on maintaining the architectural integrity of a late 19th-century structure.
