Wagoner County approves ABES Roofing patch work for courthouse roof; warranty question noted
Summary
The board approved a repair quote to patch two areas of the courthouse roof to keep the existing 20-year warranty in force. The agenda listed $3,009.49, but the maintenance manager told the board the contractor's total was $3,949 and that the work is required to preserve the warranty.
Wagoner County commissioners approved repairs to the courthouse roof June 23 after the maintenance manager said the original contractor must perform the work to preserve the warranty.
Chris Potter, the county maintenance manager, told the board he obtained only one quote because ABES Roofing installed the original roof and the manufacturer requires them to make the repairs to maintain the 20-year warranty. Potter said there are penetrations and roughly six rips on the roof; water intrusion recently flooded one office during a backup caused in part by debris in a scupper.
The agenda listed a repair amount of $3,009.49 for patches over the sheriff's office and the sheriff's secretary's office. Potter told commissioners the total would be $3,949 to return those two areas to a dry condition and to preserve the warranty; the contractor stated the damage was not hail related and thus not covered under warranty.
Commissioners approved the work on a motion; roll call showed support from the board. They did not identify any alternative bids in the public discussion and said the warranty requirement justified using the original installer.
The board did not record any additional liability determination for how the holes occurred, noting it would be difficult to prove a third-party caused the penetrations. County maintenance will coordinate the work and hold documentation related to the warranty and the repair.
The board did not set a follow-up public report date; county staff will proceed with the repair procurement and payment process.
