Dunkirk Approves City Building Renovation with Single Bidder

From the Dunkirk City Council meeting on August 24, 2026

After waiting roughly a month for additional bids after the decision was tabled and receiving none, the Dunkirk City Council voted unanimously to award the city building renovation to Jack Construction (name unclear from meeting recording — possibly "Jag Construction"). A second contractor who had expressed interest withdrew, citing being booked through the end of the year.

The council approved "Option B" — a wood-frame replacement of windows and an awning or overhang, designed to match the appearance of neighboring business Sculpt Fitness. This option eliminates the upper windows, which would be hidden behind the awning, and uses wood framing instead of the more expensive aluminum framing of Option A.

The presiding officer noted that "windows are leaking right now," creating urgency to move forward with the single bid. Dollar amounts for either option were not stated on the record during this meeting.
