7. DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
This project consists of applying a coating to the roof of the east side of the Main Library along
Chapman Avenue. A minimum of 1.5" of foam will be placed over the existing asphalt sheet roof
of the original portion of the Main Library.
The Main Library roof has been leaking and there is concern for potential damage to books,
supplies, and equipment. Public Works staff has assessed the roof condition and is
recommending an effective remedy to eliminate leaks.
Further, the project scope will utilize an economical design alternative using a Polyurethane
Foam Roof System that will remedy existing roof leaks and extend the life of the roof. This
alternative is a more cost effective solution than a complete removal and replacement of the
existing roof system. This application will extend the expected service life of the roof by at least
ten years.
The existing roof has no insulation and a thicker and stronger polyurethane foam coat will add
needed insulation, remedy leaks by providing waterproofing, and strengthen the structure of the
roof. Due to the lowest bid received more than available funding, an additional $10,000
appropriation is requested from the Capital Improvements unreserved fund balance.
