The Town of Kent is seeking bids for general construction renovations to the Lake Carmel Community Center and Town Hall Annex at 770 Route 52 in Carmel, Putnam County, with bids due October 15.

The contract covers general construction work: selective demolition, asbestos removal, new doors and windows, and a new asphalt shingle roof. No solicitation number is given in the record.

No estimated value or bidder count is on record. The job carries a tight 60-calendar-day substantial completion schedule, prevailing wage applies, and there is no pre-bid conference -- site visits are by appointment only. Bid documents and drawings are free downloads from the town's bid page.

The posting carries no stated M/WBE or SDVOB goal.

A 60-day completion clock on a job that includes abatement and roofing work is an aggressive schedule worth flagging early -- contractors need to confirm asbestos removal logistics and material lead times before committing an estimate.

Confirm the actual bid time directly with the Town of Kent before bid day -- the Town Clerk's notice says noon on October 15, while the spec book says 2 p.m., and bidders should plan on noon to be safe.
