Summary of Scope of Work: This project involves the construction of a new replacement roof at the District Headquarters Building in New Orleans, LA. The overall roof has an approximately area 90,600 square feet and is a low-slope roof. Demolition All existing roofing and flashing will be demolished down to the structural concrete deck. The existing roofing is a spray polyurethane system over an older built-up roofing system. Asbestos containing material is not expected based on previous testing. Demolition of other ancillary roof top items, such as exhaust fans, steel posts, expansion joint curbs, and sheet metal siding and doors, will also be required. Installation New roof assemblies will be installed to meet current energy code, 158 mph wind uplift, and a 30-year manufacturer warranty. The main roof will have a multi-ply modified bitumen membrane system. Three ancillary canopies will be reroofed with a PMMA liquid-applied system. The roofing contractor must be an approved installer of the modified bitumen and PMM roofing manufacturer. Five penthouses will be reroofed with a standing seam metal roof overbuild system. The overbuild system will require fabrication of metal trusses and a vented attic. Four new roof drains, four overflow drains, and associated storm drain piping will be installed. The building will be protected by a new contractor-designed lightning protection system. Approximately 400 posts will be installed to the roof deck and flashed in order to prepare for a future photo-voltaic array installation. The office building will continue to be occupied throughout the construction. Numerous employee entrances at the ground floor will be required to be protected from overhead hazards and remain available to building staff at all times. Scaffolding stair towers will be necessary for contractor employee access of the main roof and penthouses. Large cranes or material lifts will be necessary to remove demolished roofing materials and to place the new roofing assembly materials for installation.
