Summary

This Addendum No. 2 document, issued by Livonia Public Schools on October 23, 2026, modifies the specifications for the 2027 Roof Remediation project covering Coolidge, Garfield, Roosevelt, and three Annex Buildings located at 15125 Farmington Road, Livonia, Michigan 48154. The project involves comprehensive roof replacement and remediation work across multiple school buildings, with primary specifications addressing elastomeric membrane roofing installation, insulation systems, deck repairs and replacements, wood nailer installation, and associated flashing and sheet metal work. The design team is led by Roofing Technology Associates, Ltd. (RTA Project numbers 22-080, 21-032, 26-052, and 23-057). Key modifications include deletion of specific specification paragraphs related to new roof hatches and safety railing systems at Coolidge Elementary School, clarification of mechanical contractor responsibilities for ductwork disconnection and reinstallation, and confirmation that Pollution Liability Insurance documentation is not required for bid submission despite remaining a contract requirement. The addendum provides answers to bidder questions regarding acceptable gutter manufacturers (Quality Aluminum Products for 6-inch seamless K-style gutters) and clarifies that twenty-five plumbing vent pipe boot flashings must be included in the Base Bid at Garfield Community School.

The specifications establish a single-source requirement for all roofing materials from one manufacturer, with acceptable EPDM membrane options including Carlisle SynTec Sure-Tough or Holcim Elevate RubberGard Max systems. Installation must comply with manufacturer specifications and ASTM standards, with the contractor responsible for obtaining manufacturer certification, maintaining full-time field supervision, and securing final approval from the Roofing Consultant. The project requires a 2-year contractor warranty and a 20-year manufacturer total system warranty. All work must be performed according to strict quality assurance standards including daily watertight tie-ins, daily cleanup, and NESHAP compliance for asbestos-containing materials. The roofing contractor must coordinate with the Owner's Mechanical Contractor for ductwork removal and reinstallation while maintaining building integrity, and various components including roof drains, deck replacements, wood nailers, and insulation repairs are available as Unit Price extras.
