The attached estimate from Energy Coatings Corporation identifies the cost for such work to 'be $131972. If the County was to replace the roof, our experience indicates that the cost would be nearer 538,000 or about $4.00 per square foot. The warranty would still be about seven vears. It clearly would be in the best public interest to have Energy Coatings Corporation to restore the roof for $13,972 and extend the warranty for an additional seven years. The second roof area is over the east entrance which the principal or main entrance. Currently it is shows signs of rot and considerable patching. Energy Coatings Corporation has also prepared an estimate for the repair of this roofed area in the amount of $2,145. It would clearly make sense to use the same roofing contractor on this small area that will do the work on the principal roof area. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that since Energy Coatings Corporation currently has the warranty on the existing roof and is willing to extended the warranty for another seven years for a price much less than would be obtained through the installation of a new roof that the bid procedure be waived. That Energy Coatings Corporation be secured for the work on both the main roof and the east entrance for the amounts quoted, $13,972 and $2,145 respectively. Chairman Ginn questioned the age of the existing roof, and General Services Director Tom Frame stated that the roof was put up about 10 years ago with a 10 -year warranty. They had originally thought the warranty had expired but it is good through June 30, 2001. The contractor has advised that it is possible to get an extended warranty for another 7 years. The contractor will re -coat the roof and extend the warranty for another 7 years for the price quoted. APRIL 10, 2001 ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by Commissioner Stanbridge, the Board unanimously waived the bid procedure and approved Energy Coatings Corporation for the work on both the main roof and the east entrance for the amounts quoted, $13,972 and $2,145 respectively, as recommended by staff. -26-
