TO: Mayor Keis and Members of City Council FROM: Joel Hanson, City Administrator DATE: October 26, 2016 RE: City Hall Roofing Quotes Attached is the tabulation of the quotes I received to replace the rubber membrane roof components over the Council Chambers and the front entry area. Together, these two areas make up about 1,700 square foot of roof. These sections were initially installed in 1991 when the City Hall addition occurred. As you will note, I contacted five contractors. One of them only quoted a repair that contained no guarantees. Given the age of the roof and the comments by other contractors, this was not deemed a viable option. One of the other contractors only quoted the roof over the Council Chambers as that is what I initially asked for. I modified the request for the other contractors given that section of the roof is the same age as the Council Chambers portion. I did not have Kaufman roofing revise his quote given the his price for the for the larger section was close the pricing I was receiving for both sections. In reviewing the tabulation, you will note that pricing is very comparable. After a more thorough review of the two low quotes and based on responses to questions I asked of the contractors, I am recommending we award the work to Commercial Roofing and Sheet Metal at a base price of $17,600. This is $615 higher than the low base quote belonging to Central Roofing. My recommendation is based on the consideration that Commercial Roofing is offering a 20 year warranty versus a 10 year warranty and their costs for insulation and deck replacement work puts them at the same price if we only do 625 square feet of that work. Given the nature of this leak on the main roof, it seems reasonable to assume some replacement will be necessary. 625 square feet of replacement is just over 40% of the main roof area. Finally, Commercial Roofing and Sheet Metal is a Little Canada company. cc: Contractors 10
