Tiverton Public Library is seeking proposals from qualified and experienced contractors to provide siding repairs to the exterior of the library building. The selected contractor will be responsible for repairing cracked/weather worn Hardie board siding in select areas, re-painting repaired surfaces, and ensuring a clean, professional finish in compliance with the Town's specifications. Parties will review the work in advance and there will be photographs taken before to confirm the pre-existing conditions. A square footage price is acceptable, with measurements confirmed by both parties.
II. Project Scope
The project includes siding repairs to the municipal library building located at 34 Roosevelt Avenue, Tiverton, Rhode Island. This will involve:
Repairing areas of cracked or weather-damaged Hardie board and cedar shingling
Re-painting repaired surfaces
Proper disposal of all waste and materials
Painting to be done with low-VOC or environmentally friendly paints (unless otherwise specified)
Ensuring minimal disruption to normal library operations
Estimated square footage: To be determined. This is not for all of the library exterior, only where siding is worn/damaged. Parties will review the work in advance and there will be photographs taken before to confirm the pre-existing conditions. A square footage price is acceptable, with measurements confirmed by both parties.
