Two items of concern <br />came up during the inspection and testing process that I felt should be <br />brought to your attention. The first item of concern is that the testing did <br />reveal asbestos particles in some areas of the roof. These areas are within 4 <br />feet of all exterior walls. With the amount of asbestos present, we had to use <br />an asbestos consultant to write up part of the specs for the construction <br />document, for the removal of this asbestos. The second item of concern was <br />that we will have to re-roof 400 square feet of the newer part of the addition. <br />This part lies over the office and store room of the new addition. The reason <br />for re-roofmg this area is because of the additional insulation that will be <br />used on the meeting room roof, bringing the roof up approximately 4 inches <br />higher than the existing roof. With this condition, the water would be <br />trapped over the office and storage area. We did discuss the possibilities of <br />adding a scupper on the exterior wall to drain this area, or installing an <br />interior roof drain, but found that the cost would be about the same. We <br />agreed that building the area up with additional insulation, and applying a <br />built up roof product would be the best option. The next stage of this project <br />will be the bidding process. The advertisement for this bidding, will be in the <br />Elk River Star News, on October 12, 1994. On October 19, 1994, we will have <br />a pre-bid meeting at the Fire Station to discuss the project with contractors <br />who are interested in this project. On October 26, 1994, at 1:00 p.m., we will <br />be opening the bids. <br /> <br />If you have any questions or concerns regarding this project, please call me at <br />441-4900. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />roof-cs/council <br />P.O.
