Duck Island Gazebo Reconstruction

This project involves the comprehensive renovation and repair of the historic gazebo on Duck Island in Niagara Falls, New York, ensuring compliance with the secretary of the interior's standards for historic preservation. The scope includes selective demolition, hazardous materials abatement, and the replacement of the copper roof, along with structural repairs to the gazebo, historic flagstone and mortar restoration, and repairs to wood trim, soffits, and ramp handrails. Additionally, the project encompasses the installation of new pre-cast drainage basins, dry wells, lighting fixtures, including a new light pole, and electrical systems such as a load center and underground electrical service. The work will be executed under multiple coordinated contracts, including general and electrical construction, with an expected duration of approximately six months. Bidders are encouraged to attend a pre-bid meeting scheduled for November 21, 2024, at the project site, and to submit questions by November 25, 2024. Sealed proposals are due by December 4, 2024, at 2:00 PM, when they will be publicly opened. The contract is part of a solicitation managed by the City of Niagara Falls, with a project size estimated between $500,000 and $1,500,000. The project emphasizes a disadvantaged-owned subcontracting goal of 12%, but does not set aside opportunities specifically for service-disabled veteran-owned businesses. The project site is located on Duck Island at 4343 Porter Road, Niagara Falls, and there have been no prior contracts awarded for similar work by the same entities within the last five years.
