ANGOLA â Shawnee Construction will be doing the second roofing project at the Carnegie Public Library of Steuben County after the library board awarded the Fort Wayne-based company the bid on Monday.
Shawnee was the only bidder for the roofing project, which had an estimated price of $270,000. The actual bid came in at $319,640.
âWe didnât know what the materials cost would do, so this number didnât surprise me, nor did the single bidder since we already had a project going with Shawnee,â said Sonya Dintaman, director at the Carnegie Public Library of Steuben County.
The company is already doing one roofing project for the building and will ease into the second one once the first is completed.

Fort Wayne s always vibrant skyline is enjoying a bright new facet, thanks to MKM Architecture & Design s completion of the Columbia Street Landing project.
The project s lead architect, Zach Benedict, has dedicated his career to understanding the connection between people and places, so much so that he is considered one of the leading voices in the Lifetime Community movement, focusing on the socio-economic benefits of age-friendly neighborhoods.
For insight on the thought behind the build as well as the philosophy behind the man, WBOI s Julia Meek spoke with Benedict via Zoom to learn how sense of place drives his passion for civic spaces and connected communities.
