Conrad Mansion Roof Replacement Invitation to BidSECTION 00100
INVITATION TO BID
The City of Kalispell, Montana will receive bids for the Conrad Mansion Roof Replacement. The impetus of
this project is to replace the roofing and associated appurtenances on the historic building which were
damaged by hail 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, custom skylight, 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.
