1. PROJECT OVERVIEW:

This project concerns the replacement of the existing roof of 350 square meters, the U.S. Consulate, located at Place Varian Fry, 13006 Marseille, France. The current roof is in a significantly degraded state, compromising the building’s integrity and safety. To address these issues and preserve the architectural character of the facility, the project requires the complete replacement of the roof as built, using materials and methods that match the original construction as closely as possible.

• The scaffolding on the Rue Armény side must be designed to accommodate the narrow pavement (approximately 80 cm wide) and the presence of public metal bollards, in conformity with Qualibat code 1412.

• The scaffolding will not be able to be accessed from the street and will only permit the removal of debris from the demolition via a “chute”, and the supply of new materials. This design must be considered in the conception and construction of the scaffolding. The worker access and egress to the scaffolding will be controlled and coordinated with the security services, in conformity with Qualibat code 1412.

• The contractor is responsible for obtaining all necessary permits for the installation of scaffolding on public property, including any required temporary removal or adaptation of bollards, and for the occupation of the public right-of-way, and in conformity with Qualibat code 1412.

6.5. WEATHER PROTECTION AND RAIN CONTINGENCY MEASURES

Because the existing roof covering must be removed in stages to complete structural, waterproofing, and tiling works, the Contractor shall protect the building, its occupants, interior contents, and the surrounding public area from water infiltration and weather damage throughout all phases of construction.

• Weather Protection Plan

No less than fourteen (14) calendar days prior to mobilization, the Contractor shall submit a Weather Protection Plan for COR approval describing the methods, materials, and sequencing used to protect open or exposed roof areas.

The Plan shall identify the Contractor's daily weather-forecasting source ( Météo France ) and the thresholds that trigger protective action or work suspension.

• Temporary Roof Covering

The Contractor shall maintain on site, at all times once any portion of the roof covering is removed, sufficient waterproof tarpaulins, shrink-wrap sheeting, or an equivalent temporary roofing system rated for wind and rain exposure.

No roof structure shall be left without a weathertight temporary covering or completed permanent covering at the end of any working day, or during any period the crew is not actively working — regardless of progress against the schedule.

Temporary coverings shall be secured to withstand wind gusts of at least 40 km/h (Ref: Section 4.2) and shall be inspected daily and after any weather event before work resumes.

• Interior Protection

As local security will restrict access to the roof space in the Consular, the Contractor shall consult with the COR and security to make sur interior areas are sufficiently protected during works.

• Scaffolding and Site Drainage

The Contractor shall install temporary gutters, drip-catch systems, or diversion channels on scaffolding platforms to prevent uncontrolled runoff onto the Rue Armény pedestrian right-of-way or into the courtyard.

• Weather Monitoring and Work Stoppage

The Contractor shall monitor daily precipitation forecasts and shall halt any activity requiring the roof to remain open (tile removal, rafter work, membrane installation) with sufficient lead time to fully weatherproof exposed areas before rainfall arrives.

The COR retains stop-work authority whenever forecasted or observed conditions threaten the works or building interior, consistent with Section 4.7(C). No additional compensation or schedule extension shall be granted for stoppages caused by inadequate weather planning.
