The following is a summary of roof replacement work items included. This summary is not intended to be an all-inclusive scope of work. Refer to individual specification sections and drawings for more specific project requirements. 1. Perform a Pre-Job Damage Survey prior to the start of work. The purpose of the survey is to document existing conditions and identify existing damages/distresses. Survey must include roof-top components, building exterior, site features (pavements, walkways, landscaping, etc.), building interior (where allowed to access), applicable equipment and other applicable components. A pre-job damage survey is considered to be a protection for the contractor and documentation will be used to assist the Owner, Designer and Contractor in determining whether damages noted during construction were caused by construction activities or were existing. 2. Clean and test downspouts that are connected to underground stormwater drainage lines. Water test the drain lines to confirm that the existing assembly allows the free flow of water prior to the start of construction. Testing must be completed prior to th demolition of the existing roof system. Notify the Designer and Owner if water testing indicates suspected or confirmed clogged or damaged leader or underground drain line components. During this testing, inspect existing components for damage or conditions that may prevent proper function of the drainage system. The Owner and Designer may request that lines are retested at the completion of work if entry of debris or lack of protection during construction are observed or suspected. 3. The existing roof construction at Admin, RHU, T-Hall, Gym, Canteen West, Canteen East, Central Housing West, and Central Housing East includes an EPDM membrane with polyisocyanurate insulation (2-1/2i thick) on a metal deck. Slope to external gutters and downspouts is provided by the existing metal deck. 4. The existing roof construction at the Main Hall, H-Hall, and Gatehouse includes an EPDM membrane with tapered polyisocyanurate insulation (max. 8i thickness) on a flat hollow-core concrete plank structure. Slope to external gutters and downspouts is provided by the tapered insulation. 5. The existing roof construction at the Housing Units A-H includes an EPDM membrane with tapered polyisocyanurate insulation (max. 8i thickness) on a flat concrete doubletee structure. Slope to external gutters and downspouts is provided by the tapered insulation. 6. Refer to specification sections 024110, 061053, 075200, 076200, and 077200 for additional information. 7. Install a new fixed access ladder between the H Hall and the Canteen East and West Roof Areas in accordance with specification section 077200. 8. Existing wood blocking layout and condition may vary and should be field verified. If existing blocking at perimeters will remain for reuse, install supplemental fastening of to ensure adequate wind uplift pressure resistance. Install new wood blocking where shown on the drawings to form the roof perimeter, raise existing curbs to accommodate the new thickness of the roof system, and to form new sleeper curbs. 9. New roof systems must meet the requirements for UL Class A fire classification and wind uplift resistance in accordance with these specifications, the North Carolina State Building Code and ASCE-7, latest edition and be eligible for the specified manufacturer warranty. 10. Prior to each dayis work, plan and sequence work to maintain the roof in a watertight condition during construction. Refer to Section 015000 for additional requirements. 11. Provide and install other accessories or incidental components, or modify other roof features/items, not specifically listed or shown on drawings, but required for the complete and proper installation of the new roof system. 12. Roof system including membrane, flashings, and accessory components shall be installed in a watertight condition and with an overall quality of system installation that will allow the membrane and flashings to continue to perform in a watertight condition, with reasonable maintenance, over its manufacturer warranty period.
