(F) COMER RECREATION CENTER ROOF REPLACEMENT



It is requested that Council authorize the execution of a construction contract

with Columbus Roofing, Inc. (Columbus, GA), for additional roofing services at

the Comer Recreation Center, in the amount of $55,000.00.



In its regular meeting of December 13, 2011, Council authorized staff to

proceed with design/build renovations of Comer Recreation Center, which had

sustained extensive storm damage; the building was in a distressed condition

prior to the storm event. The Engineering Department obtained quotes from all

architects that were under annual contract, and 2WR/Andras Architects submitted

the lowest quote.



As a subcontractor for the project, Columbus Roofing, Inc. installed new

roofing on damaged sections of the building; the new roofing is still under

warranty. The remaining two (2) flat roofing sections are now in need of

replacing. Because Columbus Roofing, Inc. installed the previous sections of

roofing and in order to not void the warranty of said sections by using a

different contractor, a quote was obtained from Columbus Roofing, Inc. for the

remaining two (2) roofing sections requiring replacing. The quote has been

reviewed by the Engineering Department and the Facilities Maintenance Division.
