FA489724R0003 – B2371 Roof Repair Ques�ons

12 May 2024

1. Can the panel closest to the edge of the roof have gasketed screws installed to help hold the metal down in the wind? Answer: I spoke with the Work Leader in the Structures Shop, Securing the edge panel down with gasketed screws into the purlins is acceptable.

2. It will take �me to schedule the crew and machinery, will the base allow for this? Documents say that that 10 days a�er signing the contract the work must begin.

Answer: The mobiliza�on of crew and movement of machinery is considered work, just be mindful of the amount of �me this takes as the agreed upon period of performance is 30 days.

Furthermore, in the event submitals are required ge�ng submitals approved would also be considered work.

3. Would non-expansive foam be allowed to be injected under the edge trim to prevent wind from infiltra�ng under the roof panels? Answer: We don’t know of any spray foam that does not expand. Not acceptable.

4. Can the exis�ng panels be reused/re-seamed? Answer: Yes, the panels can be reused/re-seamed one �me. The seams need to be folded over properly when re-seamed for solid integrity. Using the correct seamer is cri�cal.
