1. General The Consultant shall provide the Design, Construction Administration, Permitting and Bid/Award Services to replace the nursery building roof at Pequest State Trout Hatchery. The Consultant shall meet and coordinate with the NJ Department of Environmental Protection, Office of Resource Development Staff, Fish and Wildlife staff, and the Pequest Trout Hatchery Superintendent and staff to outline all requirements necessary for the design. The Consultant shall document interviews with DEP and Hatchery Staff to identify their requirements and needs. All specific components and essential items of this project scope, which are required by the Client Agency at those meetings, shall be incorporated in the design. The design shall include a complete roofing system replacement including the removal of the unused skylights, adding roof drains (only (2) drains on the existing roof) and guard rails as applicable. The design shall follow all codes and standards applicable. 2. Roof Replacement The Design shall include the selective demolition and replacement of the existing roofing system including but not limited to roofing materials, underlayment, sheathing, skylights, flashing, curbing, drip caps, scuppers, gutters, leaders, facias, soffits, etc. Current leaking areas have been noticed. Investigation of known areas shall be included as able; unit pricing shall be included for anticipated damages uncovered in construction. The new design shall include cost-effective, long-lasting materials with applicable warranties. The sky light removal shall be investigated, reviewed with the site team, and included in the design as determined in those reviews. All exterior openings, such as ventilation, overhangs, etc., shall be designed to prevent the ingress/nesting of birds, bats, and other flying/climbing animals. 3. Roof System Removal The existing flat roof system, insulation, flashings, and related trims shall be completely removed to the original decking and legally disposed. The removal of the existing roof system shall be coordinated with the installation of the new roof to prevent exposure to weather conditions and potential water infiltration into the building. Inspect, remove and replace any roof sheeting that are damaged or insufficient. Design documents shall identify all requirements for safety devices, need for chutes and/or cranes for roof material removal, dumpster location, protection from exposure to the weather, protection of property and personnel, building access routes and circulation patterns, contractor use of the premises, parking, security procedures, equipment and materials storage, waste disposal, etc. To minimize disruption to unexcavated areas and enhance the protection of fragile underground utilities, ground mats are to be used if heavy equipment (cranes, tractor trailers, dumpsters etc...) are expected to travel over or operate from unpaved areas. 4. New Roofing System Criteria Provide a new flat roofing system and all related components based on the recommendations and the requirements of the roofing manufacturer. The manufacturer of the roofing system shall have no less than five (5) years successful experience in producing the materials required for this project. Membrane, flashing and adhesive shall be the single product of a standard manufacturer. New roofing materials, with less than 5 years of successful application in the field, will not be accepted for this project. The roofing system shall be in accordance with the latest ASHRAE 90.1 (latest version) energy standards. The roofing system shall be an FM Approved Roof Assembly and must meet all requirements of Factory Mutual I-90 classification for wind uplift. The Specification shall supply only a U.L. Class “A” fire rated roofing system. If the roofing system and/or related components are not a replacement in kind, then the Consultant shall submit a signed and sealed letter or calculations to the DPMC Design and Code Review Unit Manager verifying that the existing roof structure can support all loads of the new roofing system and components per current code requirements. The design documents shall address the roof manufacturer’s installation criteria, occupancy of the building, access to the building roof and security issues, approved storage methods of the roofing materials, etc.
