INVITATION TO BID
The City of Kalispell, Montana will receive bids for the Depot Building Roof Replacement. The impetus of
this project is to replace the roofing and associated appurtenances on the historic building which is in need of
replacement with like materials, matching the historic nature and character of the original construction, but also
installing components in compliance with current building codes. The project includes furnishing all labor,
materials and equipment required to remove and dispose of the existing cedar shingle roof and installing a new
cedar shingle roof to current building codes. Also included in the project are other miscellaneous items including
sheathing; roofing felt, ice and water barrier, ventilation, exhaust, and piping penetrations; flashing, drip edge,
and restoration of the building and landscaping if damaged during construction.
The original shingles were taper sawn cedar shingles and will need to be replaced with taper sawn #1 blue label
cedar shingles. Standard cedar shakes will not be considered an equivalent material.
