Question: I have never heard the term “Draw Bar” in roofing. Is this referring to a “Termination Bar”?

Question: What is the R-Values of the Insulations called out on lines 2014c, 2015a, 2015b and can you add a line after the tapered insulation for fill insulation, the further the taper goes the thicker and more expensive the fill gets therefore varying the cost of taper per square a great deal

Answer:

R-Value for insulation reference under line item 2014c shall have an R-value of 6.0 per inch of thickness.

R-Value for insulation reference under line item 2015a shall have an R-value of 6.
