NMHS Auditorium Truss Repairs

Medford School District Purchasing Department is requesting bids for structural retrofit work on long-span wood trusses at North Medford High School's auditorium under IFB 27-01-02, with bids due October 20, 2026.

The scope is limited to the theater house roof, which consists of single-story space with existing long-span wood trusses constructed with glulam beam chords and solid sawn web members connected with shear plates and through bolts. The contractor will perform a structural retrofit to strengthen these trusses to meet current code-level snow load demands. The contract is firm fixed price and requires the contractor to provide all labor, materials, and equipment.

Key project parameters from Addendum 4 (issued October 14, 2026) include: no additional structural details beyond the as-built and bid-set drawings dated May 17, 2010 are available; temporary plywood access platforms are required and must be removed upon project completion unless owner-approved; scaffolding and shoring posts may be supported on the existing slab on grade with appropriate blocking and bearing pads; the contractor is responsible for coordinating electrical raceway removal and replacement or requesting an allowance; roof access logistics must be coordinated, with crane access routed through gates on the fine arts building's northeast and east side; and the contractor must provide all engineering and architectural work through the submittal process, including restoration of non-structural items such as draft curtains and firewalls. Contractor and owner must coordinate the reinforced composition of crane access routes.

No estimated contract value, contract term, incumbent, evaluation criteria, pre-bid meeting, or site-visit date is specified in the source.
