Salt Storage Building Truss Repair

The Town of Portage has issued a solicitation for construction repair services targeting the salt storage shed located off Smith Hill Road in Hunt, NY. The project involves repairing the structural trusses of the salt storage building in strict accordance with detailed engineered drawings provided by Hager Engineering. The scope includes sistering damaged bottom chords and reinforcing loose steel plates with plywood and structural screws to restore the building’s load-bearing capacity. The work must adhere to New York State Prevailing Wage Guidelines, and contractors are required to be registered NY State contractors with proof of insurance meeting or exceeding municipal standards. The contract duration is set at 90 days, with bids due by December 8, 2025, and opening scheduled for December 9, 2025. Bidders are encouraged to attend the bid opening and may contact the project leaders for questions. The procurement emphasizes subcontracting goals of 13% for minority-owned businesses and 17% for women-owned businesses, though the project is not set aside for service-disabled veteran-owned or disadvantaged businesses. The solicitation does not specify formal FAR contract clauses, evaluation criteria, or detailed line-item pricing; instead, it focuses on compliance with technical specifications, insurance, and registration requirements. The work must be completed without deviations from the engineered plans unless approved by Hager Engineering. The documents do not include a formal list of attachments, clauses, or evaluation factors, and the submission process is limited to sealed paper bids delivered physically to the specified address. Overall, the project is a targeted, compliance-driven repair effort with clear technical and administrative requirements, emphasizing adherence to engineering specifications and local regulations.
