1.1 SCOPE OF WORK

C. Project Location: Duncan House 4731 Riverview Rd. Peninsula OH 44264

D. Building(s) Name/Identifier: Duncan House/25671

E. Work consists of the following:

1. Full tear-off of roof system at areas indicated on Drawings or in Photographs provided. Removal of existing roofing system down to existing roof deck.

a. Removal of existing roof system down to existing roof deck includes 100% removal of nails and protrusions.

2. Re-cover preparation of entire roof area where tear-off occurs, including installation of new roofing system.

3. Removal of flashings and counter flashings.

4. Temporary roofing during construction where required. Temporary roofing shall maintain the project roof is watertight and able to prevent leaks and damage to the building and structure until the reroofing work is completed. Contractor is to make sure that at the completion of work each day the projects roof is 100% watertight.

5. Remove and replace the existing roof system and associated roof flashings, down to deck and patch any openings in the roof decking to the nearest rafters to securely nail to structure as required before installing the new roof system, associated metal roof flashings and trims.

Replace existing roof gutters and downspouts.

6. National Park Service (NPS) requires the existing roof decks to be walked after demolition has been completed with the 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 roof decking 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.

D. Roof Area:

1. Roof area for asphalt shingle replacement is 280 SF with approximately 28 LF of gutters and 10 LF of downspouts.

2. Note the Contractor is encouraged to field verify roof dimensions prior to bidding.
