AGENDA TITLE: Approve Plans and Specifications and Authorize Advertisement for Bids for
Carnegie Forum Re -Roof Project
MEETING DATE: August 18, 2010
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve plans and specifications and authorize advertisement for bids
for the Carnegie Forum Re -Roof Project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Carnegie Forum was remodeled in 1989 and is a masonry
structure that was originally the Carnegie Library. The existing
21 -year-old roof is approximately 4,990 square feet of multi -ply
built-up roof with glass felts and asphalt interply bitumen. It has
been patched repeatedly but continues to leak.
This project consists of installing a new thermoplastic single -ply roofing system over the existing built-up
roof. Re -roofing the Carnegie Forum will result in a more energy-efficient roof, eliminate the damage
caused by leaks, and allow for permanent repairs to damaged drywall below.
The original plan was to re -roof the building using a similar built-up roof system. It was determined that
the existing roof contained asbestos material that requires special handling or encapsulation. After
checking with local roofing contractors, staff recommendsthat a single -ply roof be installed that can be
applied over the existing roof. The single -ply roof construction is similar to other recently -installed roofs
at the Police Station and the Finance Department. The estimated construction cost of the single -ply roof
is $48,000. The roof is expected to last 25 to 30 years and includes a 20 -year warranty.
Funding for this project was appropriated in the FY 10/11 budget as part of the "one time" sales tax
proceeds from the Lodi Energy Center project. The budgeted amount was $20,000 and, depending upon
the bid results, this project may require $28,000 of the $83,500 contingency funding within that
appropriation.
Council is being asked to approve the plans and specifications and authorize advertising for bids for the
project.
The plans and specifications are on file in the PublicWorks Department. The planned bid opening date
is September 8, 2010.
FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable
FUNDING AVAILABLE: General Fund Capital (1211) $48,000
