2026-11-03

The project consists of a full tear off and replacement of low slope roof within the scope of work areas . The existing roof consists of areas of TPO single - ply roofing , which will be removed to the existing deck and replaced with a new fully adhered EPDM roofing system . Existing flashings , roof edge metal , coping and roof expansion joints will be replaced . The existing roof decks consist of areas of steel roof decking and one area of concrete deck at the connector to the north wing . Roof drains will be removed for the installation of new roof drains and new overflow roof drains . Some roof drain locations will be abandoned , and some will be moved , new storm piping will be required to connect back to the existing storm drain stack / line . A secondary roof overflow piping system , overflow scupper or gutter system will be installed to provide primary and secondary drainage . New steel roof decking will need to be added to patch holes for the removal of roof top equipment , roof drains , and at existing skylight locations . Through the wall secondary drainage overflow scuppers will be installed at all bifunctional roof drains . There is serviceable equipment within 10 ’ of the roof edge and skylights so a portable roof safety railing system will need to be installed . Some of the abandoned existing roof top equipment will be removed . The new EPDM roofing system will require provisions for roof edge heights and the associated roof flashings . Masonry restoration will be required at the existing gym walls to provide new flashing and counter flashing . J . Roof cores have been completed to evaluate the composition of the existing roofs . An abatement work plan will need to be developed to identify any suspect areas and quantify any required abatement prior to the commencement of roof demolition . There is a possibility of that existing ACM flashings will need to be abated under the asbestos abatement work plan .
