Body
Dear Sir:
Contract documents and specifications have been prepared for Contract 21-089-3M, Roof Replacement at Webster Avenue Aeration Station, NSA.
The purpose of this project is to replace the roof membrane and roof deck on the Webster Avenue Aeration Station. During repairs of the roof by Maintenance and Operations under a JOC project, the concrete and metal roof decking were found to be in very poor condition. In addition to supporting vertical loads, the roof deck stabilizes the building structure and masonry walls against lateral forces. The concrete was removed, and temporary roof membrane and braces were installed to protect the facility and stabilize the structure until the permanent repairs could be performed. The project consists of replacing the roof deck and membrane in its entirety, replacing roof mounted penthouses and exhaust fans, providing safety guard rail around the roof mounted equipment and other associated electrical work.
It is estimated that 8 jobs will be created or saved as a result of award of this contract with an estimated 2,091 man-hours of skilled trades utilized.
