The Town of Hanover, Department of Public Works, requests proposal to pain the exterior trim of the Sylvester School Building, 495 Hanover Street, Hanover MA 02339. General: The Town of Hanover, Department of Public Works, requests proposal to pain the exterior trim of
the Sylvester School Building, 495 Hanover Street, Hanover MA 02339. The building no longer serves as a
school and is partially occupied by the town. The painting scope includes the exterior trim, specific exterior
doors, the canopy above the north entrance, and handrails at two entrances. The buildings windows are
vinyl and are excluded. The area of the front entrance is as excluded, as it was painted in 2021.

not rotted, although some trim pieces are split, dislodged, or slightly damaged. (Close-up photographs from
the inspection can be made available electronically to bidders upon request). There are some wood pieces
that need to be nailed in, others require some wood filler or bondo, and some caulking is needed. Doors
shall be painted white. The doors to be painted are B1, B2, C2, C3, D1, and the two new doors abutting the
handicap ramp. An area of flashing on the trim needs to be repaired.
