FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available in the CVB Fund for a total not to exceed $94,100. BACKGROUND: The 1888 Grapevine Cotton Belt Railroad Depot is one of Grapevine's most treasured buildings. It was operated by the St. Louis Southwestern Railway (also known as the Cotton Belt Route) until 1972 when the station was closed. The Depot was then moved to Heritage Park at Ball and Wall Streets where it served as the Grapevine Historical Museum. Twenty years later, the Depot was moved back to Main Street to its original location. The Depot is home to the Grapevine Vintage Railroad, is a City of Grapevine landmark, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. To ensure proper ongoing maintenance of the Train Depot, staff received three proposals for the replacement of the shake shingle roof, and McClung Roofing provided the most responsive bid. The scope of work incudes removing all existing roofing materials, replace any damaged decking, and installing new fire -proofed cedar shake shingles. Additionally they will install a new ridge system in areas as it existed prior to the new roof being installed. The contractor will salvage and reinstall all decorative trim to maintain the historical features of the Depot. McClung Roofing recently performed the roof replacement at the Nash Farm Barn, and performed the work in an acceptable manner. Below is a summary of the proposals that were received and reviewed for this project. McClung Roofing Inc.- $94,100 Castro Roofing - $112,136 TriVan Roofing - $112,750 This purchase will be made in accordance with existing and interlocal agreements with Omnia Partners Public Sector through the Region VIII Education Service Center in Texas as allowed by Texas Local Government Code, Section 271 and Texas Government Code, Section 791. Staff recommends approval.
