While creating a space for a new Mother’s room in an area that was previously closed off and unused under the north stair tower of Stanford L. Warren Library, additional water intrusion was discovered as evidenced by pools of water in the floor under the stairwell. Separate from the work that was completed in phase 1 of the project, this source of water was found to be coming from above ground, through the existing weather barrier that was incorrectly installed during a previous renovation in the early 2000s. To correct the deficiency of water infiltration, the exterior of the north stair tower must be stripped down to the metal studs/columns which include removal of the Trespa panels, brick veneer, weather barrier, densglass, and insulation. This task also entails a temporary disconnection of power from the building given the location where the Duke Energy service enters the building.
Once all defective/damaged materials are removed, the exterior façade of the north stair tower must be reconstructed with new materials and proper application of the weather barrier membrane. While this task is currently ongoing and final pricing has not yet been provided, it is estimated that the cost of the repairs will not exceed $285,000. Therefore, it is recommended to pursue this work on a time and materials basis by creating a not-to-exceed change order. All material and labor charges will be reviewed and approved by the project manager and Architect prior to payment to the contractor.
Alignment with Strategic Plan: This request aligns with the County’s Strategic Goal 3: Safe Community, Goal 4: Environmental Stewardship & Community Prosperity, and Goal 5: Accountable, Efficient, and Visionary Government.
Resource Persons: Joel T. Jones, Project Manager; James Faress, Senior Project Manager; Peri D. Manns, Deputy Director E, E & S, Jay Gibson, P.E., Director of E, E &S.
