JAN BOOK 78 <br />e <br />ROOF REPLACEMENT - VERO BEACH MAIN LIBRARY <br />The Board reviewed the following memo dated 12/28/89: <br />DATE: DECEMBER 28, 1989 <br />TO: HONORABLE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />THRU: JAMES E. CHANDLER <br />COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR <br />FROM: H.T. "SONNY" DEAN, DIRECTOR <br />DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERV <br />SUBJECT: VERO BEACH MAIN LIBRARY ROOF <br />BACKGROUND: <br />Staff has attempted to correct the leaking problems at the subject <br />facility. We reached a point where our effort is of no avail and a <br />local roofing company was called in to recommend a solution to the <br />problem. <br />The consultant advised the roof had deteriorated to a point where <br />repair was impossible. Repairmen working on reported leaks caused <br />new leaking by walking on the roof. This writer has been inside to <br />survey the damage experienced. Plastic covering has been placed over <br />book shelves for.protection in some areas along with buckets in other <br />locations to catch the leaking water. With all the precautions <br />taken, we have--l-ost --an-- esti-mated $2,000 worth of books and the leaks <br />still remain. <br />ANALYSIS: <br />Although, we anticipate moving the library out of this building: in <br />late 1990, staff does not feel the materials housed in the facility <br />can be adequately protected until then. It is also felt that the <br />Foof will need to be renovated before the building can be used for <br />some other county need or sold. <br />FUNDING• <br />The local roofing contractor has recommended that the present roof <br />and insulation be removed, due to saturation of the insulation, as <br />experienced on our Administration Building during recent roof <br />replacement. Total cost for renovations as described here -in are <br />estimated to be approximately $30,000. <br />RECOMMENDATIONS: <br />Based on the above staff recommends Board approval to bid the above <br />described roof replacement and authorize funds from the -General Fund <br />Contingency Account. <br />Lila <br />
