Crockett council awards roofing and gutter contracts for Civic Center, City Hall and library; local vendors emphasized

The City of Crockett City Council awarded contracts for roofing and gutters at three municipal facilities after reviewing three proposals and discussing warranty terms and local business preferences.

For the Civic Center, the council approved a motion to award the work to Lucas (motion by Council Member 6 and seconded by Council Member 5). Council members noted Lucas’s prior local work and that Lucas had offered competitive pricing on the Civic Center package.

For City Hall, the council chose a local bidder identified in the transcript as Shoemake (record also contains alternate spellings such as Shoemaker); council members cited a 10‑year workmanship warranty offered by the local bidder and emphasized a preference for local contractors when the price premium was modest. The transcript records council discussion comparing a 5‑year and a 10‑year workmanship warranty and a desire to keep business local where feasible.

On the library gutters, council members debated bids including a proposal from "JD Gutters" and ultimately moved to award the library contract to Shoemake after a motion and second. The administrator reviewed bid packages and indicated some figures in the transcript are garbled; the council’s vote was by voice and recorded as carried.

Council members repeatedly said they favored hiring local vendors when the cost difference was small and when the local contractor provided appropriate warranties and hauling/disposal services. The transcript includes varying spellings of contractor names; the council’s choices emphasize local participation in municipal maintenance work.

The council did not record roll‑call vote tallies in the transcript for these awards. Staff will return executed contracts and scope documents to the council or place them on a consent or subsequent agenda as required by procurement rules.
