Project Description.  This is a roof replacement project at 455 Mississippi which houses the City of Lawrence Traffic Division. The present roof is in very poor condition, consistently leaking and endangering valuable equipment.

 

Project History The building was constructed in 1944 as part of the WPA project.  The 3,400 sq. ft. roof was originally constructed of an aggregate surfaced built-up roof system and was last roofed in 1985.  The roof over the administration portion of the building has deteriorated beyond repair. It has exceeded the twenty-year life expectancy of the membrane roof. The south parapet wall will also be repaired.

 

Project Details.

Repairs will include: 

·         Removal of the existing roof system down to the plywood decking

·         Repair decking as needed

·         Install polyisocyanurate roof insulation

·         Install high density coverboard

·         Install two plies of modified bitumen membrane

 

Project Funding. This project will be funded from Facilities Operating Funds.

 

Action Request. Approve bid from Bob Frazier Roofing for the Traffic Building (445 Mississippi) Roof Replacement, Project No. 1108, in the amount of $35,816.00.
