Discussion: The purpose of this report is to award a construction contract and related work
for the replacement of roof areas D, D1, I4 and related skylights at the CHDRC, located at
1867 Valley Farm Road. The existing roof s and skylights within areas D, D1 and I4, generally
located above the existing space frame over the main lobby , banquet hall, fitness area and
adjoining spaces, are at end of life and require replacement. Most were installed in 2002 and
have already seen extensive localized repairs. Full replacement is now required.
Work will proceed gradually over the course of the summer and be coordinated to minimize
disruptions to existing programming. Some short term, isolated shutdowns will be required as
the skylights are replaced, and to ensure the safety of building occupants below. Advance
notice will be provided prior to any temporary service disruptions. As this is exterior work,
weather will also be a factor. Consulting costs included in the project cost estimate include
design and related fees already awarded, as well as an allowance for additional site visits to
ensure a high degree of oversight and quality control. This is a critical roof for the ongoing
operation of the CHDRC, and extra site inspections will help ensure that all work is completed
in accordance with the contract documents.
