3 contractors bid on Tacoma Municipal Barn roof replacement project Article By Todd Matthews, Editor Photo Courtesy City of Tacoma Three contractors have submitted bids for a project to replace the roof on the former Tacoma Municipal Barn (pictured), a 104-year-old structure also known as the "City Shops and Stables Building." According to a legal notice published last month in the Tacoma Daily Index, the City of Tacoma was accepting bids on a $430,000 project that would install a new roof, overhangs, and gutters for the sprawling, City-owned building that occupies a full city block near the corner of South Holgate Street and South 24th Street. The bid process began on Tues., May 13. An onsite pre-bid meeting with representatives from Bosnick Roofing, D & D Construction, McMains Roofing, BCRA, and the City of Tacoma was held on Tues., May 20, at 10 a.m. The bid deadline expired at 11 a.m., on Tues., June 3. The contractors that submitted bids are D & D Construction (Puyallup, Wash.) — $418,800; Stetz Construction (Lakewood, Wash.) — $425,000; and Jones & Roberts Company (Olympia, Wash.) — $438,300. The City Shops and Stables Building, which was designed by a City engineer who also worked on the construction of the Murray Morgan Bridge and the Puyallup River Bridge, is near Tacoma's Union-Depot / Warehouse Historic District. The building was nominated to Tacoma's Register of Historic Places earlier this year. Tacoma's Landmarks Preservation Commission reviewed the nomination in March. A public hearing on the nomination was held in April. The building is one of three City-owned properties within a three-block area currently for
sale as part of a Request for Proposals. To read the Tacoma Daily Index's complete and comprehensive coverage of the former Tacoma Municipal Barn, visit our Web site for the following articles: — New roof planned for century-old Tacoma Municipal Barn (Tacoma Daily Index, May 15,
