About this file
This document is an Addendum (#2) for the Bloomfield Hills Schools District-Wide Roofing Replacement project (Project No. 6524, RFP #1050), involving roof replacements at Bloomfield Hills High School, Conant Elementary, and Eastover Elementary. The addendum provides clarifications and updates to the original bid documents, including changes to Work Note #26, specifications for EPDM Thermoset Single-Ply Roofing by Carlisle, and answers to pre-bid meeting questions. The project involves installing a 60-mil fully adhered EPDM roofing system with taper insulation, replacing existing roofing systems across different roof sections with varying deck types including metal, gypsum, wood, and tectum decks. The non-mandatory pre-bid meeting was held on January 23, 2025, with bids due by 1:00 p.m. on February 4, 2025, to be submitted to the Bloomfield Hills Schools Facilities Offices.
The roofing system specification requires a 25-year manufacturer's total system warranty covering labor and materials with no dollar limitation, and wind speed coverage up to 72 mph. The project will use Carlisle SynTec's Sure-Seal roofing system, with specific installation requirements for different deck types, including mechanical fastening, adhesive application, and membrane placement. Contractors must be factory-trained and authorized by the manufacturer, with experience installing similar EPDM roofing systems. The addendum includes detailed technical specifications for materials, installation methods, membrane splicing, flashing, and quality assurance requirements, emphasizing precise installation techniques and compatibility of all roofing system components.

ADDENDUM
Project: Bloomfield Hills Schools District-Wide Roofing Replacement
Project No.: 6524 (RFP #1050)
Date: January 29, 2025
Addendum Number: 2
Each Bidder's proposal amount shall include the work described herein.
This Addendum is hereby made a part of the Contract Documents. Unless otherwise indicated, the work described herein shall comply with, and be equal in all respects to the original Specification and Drawings accompanying same. Include incidental work required to properly complete the work, whether stated herein or not.
DRAWING REVISIONS
E2.51 – Eastover Elementary School Enlarged Roof Plan CLARIFY: A portion of Work Note #26 was inadvertently cut-off on the previous drawing, and therefore the note window has expanded to provide all of the information.
SPECIFICATION REVISIONS
Section 07 5323 – EPDM Thermoset Single-Ply Roofing - Carlisle CHANGE: Section 3.03, Part B, item 3 FROM: Tectum Decks: Fasten base layer to tectum deck TO: Tectum Decks: Install base sheet with impact fasteners and adhere all layers of insulation with Flexible Fast.
Pre-bid Meeting Questions and Answers (from Building Reviews) Question 1: At Bloomfield Hills High School, can the existing concrete planters be removed and the existing sidewalk be used to deliver materials up to the adjacent roof area (South side of the building)?
Answer 1: The district is unsure if the existing planters can be removed as they have been in place since the building was constructed. If they can be removed, the contractor can utilize the sidewalk to deliver materials to the roof area. The existing sidewalk conditions will need to be documented prior to construction for review after roofing operations are complete. If any damage should be present, the contractor will be responsible for any replacement.
Question 2: At Conant, the coping around roof area F has standing seam end joints. Is this type of installation required for the new coping?
Answer 2: Although a standing seam end joint system is acceptable, it is not required. A standard concealed splice system is acceptable.
Question 3: At Eastover, has there been any thought as to the access to deliver materials?
Answer 3: Traditionally, contractors have used the small parking area on the west side of the building to stage materials, and have traversed the lawn area (avoiding playground equipment) to deliver materials up to the roof on the west side of the building. However, each contractor will need to provide its own plan for owner review to get materials to the roof for its operations.
Clarifications Item 1: At Bloomfield Hills High School, the construction of the existing skylight curbs is unknown but appears to be concrete. Because of this, it will be acceptable to leave the curbs after skylight removal, deck the openings, and roof leaving raised roofing areas. Insulation must be provided on these raised roofing areas. If the curbs are not concrete, the expectation is that they will be removed unless there is a structural reason for not doing so.

PART 3 EXECUTION
3.01 GENERAL
A. Comply with the manufacturer’s published instructions for the installation of the membrane roofing system including proper substrate preparation, jobsite considerations and weather restrictions.
B. Position sheets to accommodate contours of the roof deck and shingle splices to avoid bucking water.
3.02 VAPOR RETARDERS
A. General:
1. The use of a vapor retarder to protect insulation and reduce moisture accumulation within an insulated roofing assembly should be investigated, especially on projects with high interior humidity, such as, swimming pools, breweries, pulp mills, etc.
B. In the generally temperate climate of the United States, during the winter months, water vapor flows upward from a heated, more humid interior toward a colder, drier exterior. Vapor retarders are more commonly required in northern climates than in southern regions, where downward vapor pressure may be expected and the roofing membrane itself becomes the vapor retarder.
C. On cold storage/freezer facilities, the perimeter details must be selected to provide an air seal and prevent outside air from infiltrating and condensing within the roofing assembly.
D. Consult the latest publications by ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air- Conditioning Engineers, Inc.) and NRCA (National Roofing Contractors Association) for specific information.
E. If insulation is to be adhered to the vapor retarder with Flexible FAST Adhesive, the 725TR vapor retarder must be compatible and shall be fully adhered to the substrate. Available products include Carlisle supplied “peel and stick” rubberized asphalt membrane with compatible film coating (Carlisle VapAir Seal 725TR Air and Vapor Barrier), and spray or roller applied butyl coatings. Installation requirements for Carlisle’s VapAir Seal 725TR Air and Vapor Barrier are identified in Carlisle published specification.

3. Application: Apply Carlisle VapAir Seal 725TR Air and Vapor Barrier from low to high point, in a shingle fashion, so that laps will shed water. Overlap all edges at lease 2-1/2".
End laps shall be staggered. Place membrane carefully so as to avoid wrinkles and fishmouths. Immediately after installation, roll with a 30” wide 150 pound weighted segmented steel roller.
4. Insulation Installation: Ensure surface of Carlisle VapAir Seal 725TR Air and Vapor Barrier is dry prior to installing insulation. Place insulation over the surface and mechanically fasten to the roof deck and adhere subsequent layers with Flexible FAST Adhesive in accordance with this Carlisle Specification.
G. For metal decks, VapAir Seal MD Air and Vapor Barrier is specifically designed for direct application to fluted steel decks. It may also be used in conjunction with either Carlisle’s CAV- GRIP III on vertical wall surfaces, such as structural concrete, gypsum, Securock, DensDeck Prime, DensDeck StormX Prime and plywood substrates.
H. VapAir Seal MD Installation: Over Acoustic Metal Decks Only
1. Surface Preparation: The surface shall have a smooth finish and be free of voids, spalled areas, sharp protrusions, loose aggregate, laitance and form release agents. In the event of rain, concrete must be allowed to dry before primer is applied.
2. Primer: Surfaces to receive VapAir Seal MD Air and Vapor Barrier must be clean and dry.
Prime with Cav-Grip III Primer. Apply Primer by spray, brush or with a long nap roller at the applicable coverage rate noted above. At 75 F allow primer to dry 1 hour minimum.
Primer has a satisfactory cure when it will not transfer when touched. Prime only areas to be waterproofed the same day. Re-prime if area becomes dirty.
3. Application: Apply VapAir Seal MD Air and Vapor Barrier to the metal deck from low to high point, in a shingle fashion, so that laps will shed water. Overlap all edges at lease 2- 1/2". End laps shall be staggered. Place either a 6” wide section of 24 gauge sheet metal or a 6” wide section of VapAir Seal MD directly on the metal under each end lap, perpendicular to the end lap, to ensure a solid surface to roll the end lap together. Seams and end laps must be rolled with a 2” seam roller or stand-up seam roller. Place membrane carefully so as to avoid wrinkles and fish mouths. Immediately after installation, broom the sheet to ensure proper contact to the metal.
4. Insulation Installation: Ensure surface of VapAir Seal MD Air and Vapor Barrier is dry prior to installing insulation. Place insulation over the surface and mechanically fasten to the roof deck and adhere subsequent layers with Flexible FAST Adhesive in accordance with this Carlisle Specification.
3.03 INSTALLATION PLACEMENT
A. Install insulation or membrane underlayment over the substrate with boards butted tightly together with no joints or gaps greater than 1/4 inch. Stagger joints both horizontally and vertically if multiple layers are provided.

A. Unroll and position membrane without stretching. Allow the membrane to relax for approximately 1/2 hour before bonding. Fold the sheet back onto itself so half the underside of the membrane is exposed.
B. Apply the Bonding Adhesive in accordance with the manufacturer’s published instructions and coverage rates, to both the underside of the membrane and the substrate. Allow the adhesive to dry until it is tacky but will not string or stick to a dry finger touch.
1. Roll the coated membrane into the coated substrate while avoiding wrinkles. Brush down the bonded half of the membrane sheet with a soft bristle push broom to achieve maximum contact.
2. Fold back the unbonded half of the membrane sheet and repeat the bonding procedure.
C. Install adjoining membrane sheets in the same manner, overlapping edges approximately 4 inches. Do not apply bonding adhesive to the splice area.
3.05 MEMBRANE SPLICING
A. Position membrane sheet to allow for required splice overlap. Mark the bottom sheets with an indelible marker approximately 1/4” to 1/2” from the top sheet edge. The pre-marked line on the membrane edge can also be used as a guide for positioning splice tape.
B. When the membrane is contaminated with dirt, fold the top sheet back and clean the dry splice area (minimum 3” wide) of both membrane sheets by scrubbing with clean natural fiber rags saturated with Sure-Seal Weathered Membrane Cleaner. When using Sure-Seal (black) PRE- KLEENED membrane, cleaning the splice area is not required unless contaminated with field dirt or other residue.
C. Apply EPDM Primer to splice area and permit to flash off. Primer must be applied to both the top membrane layer and the bottom membrane layer.
D. When adhering Factory Applied Tape (FAT), pull the poly backing from FAT beneath the top sheet and allow the top sheet to fall freely onto the exposed primed surface. Press top sheet on to the bottom sheet using firm even hand pressure across the splice towards the splice edge.
E. For end laps, apply 3” or 6” SecurTAPE to the primed membrane surface in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications. Remove the poly backing and roll the top sheet onto the mating surface.
F. Tape splices must be a minimum of 2-1/2” wide using 3” wide (Butyl/EPDM) SecurTAPE that is a minimum 25-mil thick. SecurTAPE must extend 1/8” minimum to 1/2” maximum beyond the splice edge. Field splices at roof drains must be located outside the drain sump.
Note: For projects where a 90-mil membrane OR 20-year or longer System Warranty is specified, splice enhancements are required. Refer to Carlisle Sure-Seal/Sure-White Roofing System Specification.
