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 �&at�s� F.
