Several buildings at the City of Yakima Public Works Complex, located at 2301 Fruitvale Blvd, are in need of new roofing. The buildings in this project, numbered 3, 4, & 5, still have their original roofing as installed in the 1970’s. Public Works staff has spent the last several years making roof repairs while funds were saved up for the project.
Last year Public Works Staff teamed up with CW Architecture and found a roofing product, ‘Fibertite’, as the best solution to our roofing needs. With this product, an initial layer of rigid insulation board is installed on the existing roofing material, which also reduces energy costs, then ‘Fibertite’ is placed on top and all seams are heat-sealed for total waterproofing. This will bring us a long-term solution to the aging roofing systems and has a 20 year warranty.
The project was advertised for bidders on February 24th and the bid-opening was held on March 24th. Four bids were received with Leslie & Campbell, Inc., Yakima, providing the lowest responsive bid in the amount of $385,116.26. Their bid was just slightly above the Engineer's estimate of $378,700. Attached is the construction contract for City Council review. The project is funded from the Public Works Admin - Capital Fund 560. The project will start this spring and be completed within approximately 2 months. |
