The Kentucky State Police, Post 11, Building Renovations project is being undertaken to extend the usable life of the building and to maintain the weather resistance. The existing roof assembly is a modified bitumen on a single slope, surrounded by parapet walls. The existing scuppers have no crickets to direct the water flow. Scuppers extend beyond the face of the parapet and daylight at the roof level where storm water drops to a concrete splash pad at grade. The roof will be replaced with a new SBS modified bitumen roof assembly, cover board, and insulation. The building will also receive new scuppers (at new locations), conductor heads, downspouts, metal coping and accessories such as a roof access ladder. The façade is showing many signs of decay, as there are many visible areas of cracking in the brick and signs of attempted repair with sealant and/or spray foam. The building has exposed steel beams around the façade that are showing signs of early deterioration. The masonry above the steel beams will be removed to install new throughwall flashing and reconstructed from the salvaged masonry. The remaining damaged masonry will be repaired, and the exposed beams are to be cleaned, painted with anti-corrosion paint (exterior and interior). The exposed exterior of the beams are to be covered with an insulation and metal panel wall assembly. The building is also to receive new storefront windows (ballistic Level 3 rating) and masonry infill of the existing garage doors to better accommodate the needs of the user group. Finally, all the existing and repaired masonry is to be painted with breathable, exterior-grade masonry paint.
