ITEM SUMMARY:
The City owns the four-story masonry building built in approximately 1880 located at 200 Main St. The
primary entrance to the ground floor is from Main St while a secondary entrance to the lower level is from
Turner Ct. This building is currently vacant. It was previously used as a mixed use building with commercial
on the lower level and ground floor, while the second and third stories of the building were used as
residential.
In 2015, the City hired Matocha Associates, an architectural firm, alongside Tassone Architects, masonry
architectural firm and Structural Resources, Inc. (SRI), a structural engineering firm to evaluate the
deteriorating conditions of the building. These evaluations determined multiple issues with the building
including, but not limited to, deteriorating masonry fagade, structural building settlement, non-compliance
with current American Disability Act (ADA) requirements, fire escape related non-compliance, leaking
pipes, asbestos, roof damages, etc. All of these concerns were expected due to the age of the building.
Since then, the City has removed all the piping in the building as well as all of the asbestos. This project
has sat idle for the last couple of years. The City revived this project in recent months by awarding design
contracts to the architectural firm, mason architectural firm and structural engineering firm to complete their
respective designs for roof replacement, masonry rehabilitation and structural rehabilitation.
The scope of work for base bid is including but not limited to tuck pointing, repair mortar joints, repair
masonry stress cracks, remove and replace chimney masonry crown cap, remove and replace stone sill,
remove and replace stone parapet cap, clean exposed masonry surfaces, and discard and legally dispose
waste materials. The project includes multiple alternate bids
ALTERNATE ONE: The level one (Main Street grade) original masonry arches (four) that have been
removed should be replaced with window arch headers. The existing exterior window head is a curved
masonry segmental arch with two rowlock header courses.
ALTERNATE TWO: The level one stone veneer storefronts are not original and should be removed and
replaced with a historic appropriate masonry style facade. This item was eliminated from the bidding as the
storefront entrance is likely to change when architectural improvements will take place in near future.
ALTERNATE THREE: The south elevation, floor three (west end) replacement window was infilled with
masonry and should be removed.
ALTERNATE FOUR: The basement level interior (Turner Court), north, south, and east elevation existing
stone walls will require that the joints be ground out 100%, stabilized, and the stone walls be pointed
100%.

ALTERNATE FIVE: The basement level interior (Turner Court), south, and east elevations existing stone
walls will require stabilization, and one wythe (layer of brick) of common brick to be installed (full height) in
front of the existing stone walls. Masonry wall ties (stainless steel) will be installed (screwed) back to the
stabilized stone walls as necessary for the new brick wall stability. One layer of one inch foil faced
insulation between the existing stone wall and the new masonry (brick) wall will be installed.
ALTERNATE SIX: The basement level interior (Turner Court), north elevation stone wall will require that
the joints be ground out 100%, stabilized, and the stone wall be pointed 100%.
