Staff recommend open-cell spray foam plus reflective coating for new shop roof to save costs
Summary
County staff relayed a contractor's recommendation to use open-cell spray foam with a white paint coating on the new shop and parts-area roofs, saying the approach could yield higher R-value and lower cost than closed-cell foam; staff said they are collecting bids and suggested doing work before equipment is placed in the building.
Staff reported a contractor recommendation to use open-cell spray foam on the new shop and parts-area roofs, with a reflective white paint top coat. A staff member relayed the contractor's claim that open-cell plus a paint coating would provide a better R-value and be less expensive than closed-cell foam for the parts area and shop.
Staff said the contractor is preparing bids (separate line items for parts and shop, and optional paint application) and raised timing concerns, recommending the work be done before vehicles and equipment are stored in the building. The board asked about procurement rules and whether additional bids were required; staff said they would obtain additional quotes as needed.
No procurement decision was approved at this session; staff will return with bids and procurement recommendations.
