On October 30, the Village of Sleepy Hollow is taking bids for a roofing job that asks for three different skill sets on one building. The village needs a contractor to replace the roof on its fire house, located at 28 Beekman Avenue in Westchester County.
The base bid and two alternates call for a decorative slate roof on the north section to maintain a historic look, a shingled rear roof prepped to accommodate future solar panels, and a flat rear roof that holds telecommunications equipment. Because the project uses state grant funding, the village has set a 15 percent Minority-Owned Business Enterprise requirement and a 15 percent Women-Owned Business Enterprise goal.
According to the village's capital plan, the administration has planned the roof replacement project with $139,000 in grant funding.
For a roofing contractor deciding where to spend estimating hours, this job requires a shop comfortable with both standard shingle or flat work and delicate historic slate preservation. The lowest qualified bidder will take the contract.
Bids are due by 2 p.m. on October 30 in a sealed envelope marked for the fire house roof. The full request for proposals is available on the village website, and the posting does not list a pre-bid meeting.
