Summary of Scope of Work: The proposed work is located at the Clarkston Natural Resources Management (NRM) Office Building in Clarkston, Washington. The work will be for a new metal roof overbuild system installed over all three existing metal roof systems that have reached the end of their life cycles. The NRM building was built in two phases. The original phase included the shop and southern offices. The second phase included additional office space located to the east of the original building. At least two of the NRM office building's metal roof systems are leaking, primarily at roof penetration and flashing locations, and the result is water entering the building. The construction project is to design and construct a new single retrofit roof overbuild system with no discontinuities to include built in tie-off points for maintenance and inspection related activities. This new roof overbuild would be constructed of lightweight steel trusses and metal roof panels, which will be installed over all three existing roof systems to create a new uniform roof. This option will eliminate the roof discontinuities that create opportunities for leaks and will therefore best protect the building asset for many years to come.
