AN ORDINANCE FOR A CONTRACT WITH WESTERN SPECIALTY CONTRACTORS FOR THE MASONRY REPAIRS PROJECT AT THE HISTORIC MARTIN FRANKLIN HANLEY HOUSE
City Manager Gipson reported that included in the FY2025 Capital Improvement budget is $225,000 for exterior repairs at the Historic Martin Franklin Hanley House. As staff were preparing to issue the bid documents for this project, Clayton experienced a devastating tornado on May 16, 2025, and the bid process was postponed.
On September 25, 2025, the Parks and Recreation Department issued a Request for Bids for the Hanley House Exterior Repair and Waterproofing project. Unfortunately, the Request for Bids was canceled due to an insufficient number of qualified attendees at the mandatory pre-bid meeting on Wednesday, October 8, 2025.
Since that time, staff have prioritized the repair work needed at Hanley House and issued a Request for Bids for masonry repair to the foundation of the building. Bids (2) received were opened on January 30, 2026. Staff recommend approving the ordinance authorizing a contract with Western Specialty Contractors in the amount of $41,865, plus a 5% contingency of $2,090.
Toni Siering, Director of Parks and Recreation, addressed the Board to answer questions.
Councilmember Buse introduced Bill No. 7130, approving a contract with Western Specialty Contractors for repairs to the historic Martin Franklin Hanley House to be read for the first time by title only. Councilmember Patel seconded.
