Council approves $70,448 roof replacement at Fire Station 2
Summary
Aldermen approved a $70,448 contract with Barrett Construction to tear off and replace the roof at Fire Station 2; staff said the roof will be re-shingled with new plywood decking and carries an expected 15–20 year shingle lifespan.
The Board of Mayor and Aldermen approved a $70,448 contract with Barrett Construction to replace the roof at Fire Station 2. City staff said the existing roof, installed about 17 years ago, had sagging and leaks caused by 24-inch stud spacing and original OSB decking. The plan approved by the board calls for a complete tear-off, installation of 3/4-inch plywood decking and new shingles. A staff member noted that shingle roofs typically have 15–20 years of useful life. Aldermen asked about warranty and design; staff confirmed the replacement will be shingled and described the aesthetic choice as consistent with surrounding buildings. The board voted 6-0 to approve the project, which was included in the annual budget.
