About this file
This is an architectural detail drawing for the Wissahickon Valley Public Library's Blue Bell Branch Library renovation project located at 650 Skippack Pike, Blue Bell, Pennsylvania 19442. The drawing, prepared by Albert M. Comly Jr. Architect and dated August 21, 2026 (revised September 6, 2026), provides construction details for the building exterior work. The drawing includes eleven detailed sections at various scales addressing critical building envelope components: gutter, siding transition, window head, window sill, soffit, door head, canopy fascia, canopy column, canopy joint to existing building, building corner, and exterior pier. The renovation scope involves removal of existing metal cladding, installation of fiber cement lap siding with 6-inch exposure, new aluminum storefront windows, metal panel siding (Alucobond Plus panels on Easyfix structure), TPO roofing membrane with flashing, waterproofing membranes (Henry Blueskin SA), galvanized steel furring strips, and powder-coated aluminum components throughout. The drawings are scaled at 3/8 inch equals 1 foot-0 inches for most details and 1-1/2 inches equals 1 foot-0 inches for the exterior pier section. Sealed proposals for the general construction work are due by 10:00 A.M. on Thursday, September 15, 2026, with the last day for submitting written technical questions being Friday, September 11, 2026.
The drawing specifications require shop drawings and mock-ups for review of both fiber cement and metal siding installation prior to full installation. Performance and Labor and Materials Bonds in the amount of 100 percent are required, along with a Maintenance Bond of 25 percent. All dimensions must be verified by the contractor and any discrepancies reported to the architect before construction begins. Electronic copies of the complete drawings and specifications are available through PennBid beginning August 25, 2026, with all questions directed to PennBid rather than directly to the architect or library. The project represents a comprehensive interior and exterior renovation including demolition, reconstruction of interior partitions and finishes, construction of a new entrance feature, and selected addition of doors and windows.
