15. National Park Service (NPS) requires the existing roof decks to be walked after demolition has been completed with their onsite Contracting Office Representative (COR) or designated Project Inspector prior to installation of any new roof materials to ascertain if any water penetration has caused deterioration or corrosion of the existing decks which are to remain. If there are areas of concern the COR may require the Contractor to perform pull out tests to determine if the existing decking in question can remain or if it will need to be replaced. This can include visible areas of water damage or insect related damage.

Testing and replacement of these types of unforeseen damaged areas will be by Change Order if required.
