DIVISION 1 SHORT FORM GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

PART 1 – GENERAL

ITEM 1 - DESCRIPTION OF WORK

1.1 Background: Building was constructed in 1979-1980. Current membrane roof installation was completed on August 11, 2006. The guarantee expired on August 11, 2008. Depending on the company one consults, the life cycle of an EPDM roof can be from 10-50 years. It has been fourteen years since this roof was installed. The warranty/guarantee expired twelve years ago. This roof has been developing a few leaks, leading this park to believe that its life cycle may be closer to ten years than to fifty. In accordance with the principles of cyclic maintenance, the park would like to replace this roof in kind (0.60 EPDM) before major problems develop. Total area is approximately 6,950 square feet. New museum exhibits are scheduled to go into the visitor center starting in 2025. Replacing this roof now prevents leaks from damaging the new exhibits.

1.2 Work Covered by the Contract Documents:

A. Project Location: 1741 Old Post Road, Gillett AR 72055

1. Work consists of: Remove the existing roof, coverboard and insulation which is approximately 6,950 SF, (see building dimensions below) down to the existing concrete deck. Install approximately 6950 SF of insulation, ½” coverboard and .60 mil white roof membrane which slopes 1/8” per foot toward drains. This includes crickets called out on Previous Design Drawings (below) in same direction as existing flowing to scuppers. Install crickets as shown on previous roof replacement drawings. Contractor will need to raise the four previous skylight locations (see photos) up to the existing concrete deck to prevent low spots and water ponding. Replace approximately 330 feet of parapet cap, all flashing and vent boots according to SMACNA standards, color to match existing conductor head and downspouts which are to remain. Color of parapet cap and other flashings to match the existing conductor and downspout. Contractor to adhere to all notes on Previous Roof Design Drawings attached relevant to this full roof replacement as far as insulation thicknesses, scupper, connections, parapet cap details, flashing details, fasteners, and cricket sizes and locations.
