Bolton Center School 108 Notch Road Bolton CT – Architectural / Engineering Design Services
Intent
The Town of Bolton requests professional design services for the replacement of approximately 96,542 sq. ft. of existing low-slope roofing systems. The original building was built in approximately 1959, with later additions/renovations added in 1974, 1993 and 2011. The design team will also be required to evaluate the existing parapet and include repairs and replacement as part of the scope of service with the chosen firm.
Proposed System: New 30-year NDL (no dollar limit) warranty with annual inspections by an authorized manufacturer’s representative. The material should be a fully adhered SBS (styrene-butadiene-styrene) or equivalent, redundant, two-ply, mineral surfaced (white), rubberized modified bitumen low-slope roof system. It should have a minimum slope of 1/4" inch per ft. including related substrates, vapor barrier over organic decking, insulation (to meet current model energy code). All flashings, boots and other necessary components shall be replaced with new ones. The design shall incorporate a minimum of ½” protection board consisting of high-density gypsum fiberboard, high density poly iso coverboard or equivalent. New roof access ladders shall be incorporated into the scope of work. Design new internal roof drains where necessary to accommodate 1/4" per ft. slope requirement including all existing roof drain bowls and design new drains (secondary) as needed. All existing roof drain piping must be evaluated and replacement design as needed shall be included. The specifications should not lead to a specific brand of materials but should allow the installers to propose what they deem best suits the structure. They should be required to provide the necessary information to permit the design professional and Temporary Public Building Commission to make an informed decision. Protective walk pads from the points of entry onto the roof to all roof top equipment and around it shall be a bid alternate.
Notes:
● Hazardous materials investigation and testing is being performed. Results will be made available upon request once compiled.
● The professional design team is responsible for providing a structural analysis to ensure that the roof structure is able to support the new roof and identify residual load capacity for the possible installation of a future ballasted PV system and HVAC components.
