Insurance will pay to repair the 30’ x 50’ damaged section of the roof. Due to the age of the roof, the repair will require different materials than the surrounding area. Since the roof is already on our capital replacement list, the recommendation is to apply insurance funds toward completely replacing the entire roof with a 30-year warranty rather than just patching a 30’ x 50’ section. The BOE approved a proposal from Morristown Roofing to replace the section during its January 2024 meeting. As the work began, it was discovered that the decking material installed in the 1970s was degraded and needed to be replaced. Original tests conducted prior to the bid process did not reveal the damage. However, once discovered, there is no choice but to replace the deck as part of the process. Summary of Major Elements: Morristown Roofing submitted a proposal for replacing the roof deck for a total of $115,767.42. Supporting documentation is attached for review. Due to the nature and scope of the work, the purchase order has been issued and the work is underway. The district utilized provisions made possible in Tennessee law and State Board of Education regulations allowing emergency purchases under conditions such as these. Director of Schools' Recommendation: Approval Impact on Resources: Capital Budget funds will be utilized. Timetable for Further Review/Action: None |
