Subsequent to several complaints from the business incubator occupants, staff was notified of several areas inside the building that had water intrusion due to the roof leaking.  A roof assessment report was conducted by the City Engineer that identified several defective areas in the front roof due to the age of the roofing material.  Extensive granule loss, numerous patches, and areas of deteriorated sealant and membrane were the cause of the water intrusion.  Several of the areas had previously been repair and failed.  The report concluded that repairing the front roof section would not be cost efficient.  The recommendation was for the north roof section to be replaced with a thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) roofing membrane.  The report further recommended no action be taken with the south or rear roof section due to an estimated 10 to 12 years of service life left.            

Four competitive bids were opened by the City on Friday March 18, 2016.  The project bids received ranged from a low bid of $44,000.00 to a high bid $109,450.00.  The City's Construction Services Division has reviewed the bid documents required for each submission, verified references, and has recommended the bid award of the project to Professional Roof Systems, Inc.
