1. Base Bid Work includes but is not limited to the following work: approximately 17,225 sf of existing roofing systems at the Leo O’Brien Federal Building (127’ x 157’) will be replaced with new roofing systems with a new fully adhered TPO membrane roofing system comprised of a torch-down vapor barrier, multiple layers of Type VI Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) insulation, cover board, and eighty (80) mil TPO membrane; fire rated pressure treated wood will be used to add curbing and/or curbing height as detailed within project documents; existing roof drains will receive new inserts and strainers; all drains will be confirmed as being clear and free any obstruction prior to completion; the existing roof has been identified to contain asbestos containing material (ACM) in specific areas as identified with project documents and will be abated as part of project; new OSHA-compliant guardrails will be installed around the roof perimeter; a roof tie-off system (anchor points) will be installed and pull rating verified; and new lightening protection system installed and certified as functioning and operational. A raised roof area will be created under each of the four (4) cell tower areas. The creation of this new raised roof area around the cell tower footprint is being required to facilitate the installation of the increase amount of insulation around the cell tower structures. At the conclusion of the project, the existing site will be restored to its original condition. As part of the verification process to confirm proper installation, the roofing system’s technical representative must conduct periodic inspections during the installation and conduct a final inspection to verify integrity of the TPO seams and roof terminations.

Additionally, within one year of the date of substantial completion, at a time mutually agreed upon by GSA and contractor, the contractor (as part of their contract) shall perform an infrared scan of all the roofing areas using an independent third party. The scan results shall be sent directly to GSA with copy going to contractor. Contractor shall resolve any concerns
