Overview

Summary

The Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) Memorial Hall in Hingham, Massachusetts, has a rich history that dates back to the Civil War. The GAR was formed in 1866 and was composed of Union Army veterans. In Hingham, 243 men enlisted, some more than once, and they organized a post in the GAR in 1866. The GAR Hall, built in 1888, was named in honor of an 11th Massachusetts Regiment captain killed in the Gettysburg battle.

The hall served for various purposes, including a silent-movie theater and a dance studio, before being used for veterans' groups and events. The hall is now known as the Grand Army Memorial Hall and is a meeting place for Hingham veterans and a venue for Memorial Day and Veterans Day events. The GAR Hall has been restored and is now home to the Maj. Edwin Cole American Legion Post 120, where local military memorabilia are displayed. The GAR Hall's history and its role in preserving the memory of Hingham's veterans continue to be an important part of the town's heritage.

Partially modification of the Y14375 LULA lift at the GAR Memorial Hall located at 358 Main Street. The current LULA lift has been experiencing mechanical difficulties on a consistent basis and needing multiple service calls. Due to all the repairs we have had to limit the building use as it no longer remains ADA compliant without use of the elevator.

Bids are subject to M.G.L. c. 149 §44A-J & to minimum wage rates as required by M.G.L. c. l49 §§26 to 27H inclusive. The Town Administrator and/or Select Board will act as the Awarding Authority for this IFB. The Town of Hingham reserves the right to reject any or all bids, waive minor informalities, and to award the contract in the best interest of the Town.

Estimated contract value $155,000.
