Contractor Proposal — Additional Information There are currently 36 penetrations in the roof comprised of curbs. caps. vent stacks. and chimneys. While the proposal includes removal of all penetrations, the UEA prefers to maintain a minimum number of these penetrations in anticipation of the desired reuse alternatives for the property. As you'll note in these proposals, the contractor has included removal of the 3 existing skylights and the clay coping tile on the North and Nest parapet walls. In an attempt to minimize disruption to these historic elements and obtain additional project details, the UEA subsequently requested the following additional information from the contractor (items are included within initial cost of proposal except where noted): • Existing skylights could be removed, the glass reworked as needed, and replaced at a minimal cost. • Existing clay coping on the west and north walls may be removed, replaced. and caulked depending on the condition and the termination would occur under the tile. If existing tiles prove to be fragile, sheet metal noted in the proposaly will be used. Foam�overspray cannot be removed from existing? tile. • The termination method for the east and south parapet walls will include installation. of aluminum ter bar below existing tile with wall anchors. Mortar joints between the tiles would be caulked as needed or could be Ground and re -mortared at an additional cost. • Roof materials would inciude the following in order of application: 71116 OSB board, EPS tapered roof insulation: '. inch mechanically fastened fiber; and 15, black EPDNI single -ply rubber. • Lower roof area would also be addressed with same materials and installation methods. As you know. earlier this year the UEA proceeded , with having the building and property cleared of debris and other clutter. You are also aware that the UEA recently approved a budget of 5-5.000 to help fund a national media campaign for the property in partnership with the HPC and Historic Landmarks of Indiana. The UEA anticipates that replacement of the roof would serve as an excellent complement to their ongoing efforts to attract a suitable use for the building and further improve the S. Nlichigan Street corridor. The UEA would greatly appreciate approval of the attached COA request from the HPC. As a reminder. UEA Director Pam NIever and I will be attending the meeting. The contractor also plans on attending. If you have any questions or require additional information. please contact me immediately at 235-5S47. Thank" you.
