6/4/13 - Some much needed roof repairs are planned to the fire station in Brighton Township this summer. Board members met Monday night to approve the low $59,400 bid from a Canton company to re-roof Fire Station 32, located on Old US-23 near Hyne Road. Itâs one of five operated by The Brighton Area Fire Authority, of which the township is a member. Supervisor Tom Murphy says the roof is more than ten years old now and there wasnât adequate ventilation when the original roof was built, so problems keep popping up that must be fixed. Murphy says the entire roof will be re-done and tiled to address any damage that may be there as well as leaks. Following the bid approval, board members approved a related general fund budget amendment and a 10% construction contingency was also allocated toward the project to account for any unforeseen costs. Both were approved unanimously. Murphy says once all of the bid documents for the roof repairs are signed then construction can begin, possibly by late June or early July. (JM)
