Byeriy, Superintendent <br />Mr. William F. Crabtree, Director of Business Operations <br />Members of the Kannapolis City Board of Educa#ion <br />RE: Kannapolis Intermediate School Roof <br />DATE: September 8, 2008 <br />1o Anne A. Byeriy, Ed.D. <br />Superintendent <br />byerlyj@kannapoiis.kl2. nc.us <br />The Kannapolis Intermediate School gym roof is in need of replacement due to its <br />current condition. We have two tarps. covering the roof to prevent any further damage <br />to the building. The two choices we have for replacement are standing seam metal roof <br />and Duro-Last roof. The following reasons outline our decision: <br />• In our last meeting Kyle Bilafer, Director of General Services for Cabarrus <br />County, stated that Cabarrus County has not used the Duro-Last product to <br />replace shingle roofs, but uses standing seam metal. <br />• Our architects, MBAJ, researched the Duro-Last product and reported back that <br />it was used for low slope or flat -roof applications and they did not recommend it <br />for a high slope roof. <br />• There is no example of the Duro-Last product being used on a, sloped roof in a <br />school system in North Carolina. There is only one example of it being used on <br />any sloped roof in North Carolina, and that is on a small restaurant in Smi#hfleld. <br />• A metal roof is warrantied for 50 years while aDuro-Last roof is only 15 years. <br />Due to the lack of history of the Duro-Last roof in North Carolina, the warranty, and the <br />recommendation of our architect we recommend the replacement of the Kannapolis <br />Intermediate School roof with a standing. seam metal roof at an estimated cos# of <br />$335,985. <br />JAB/WFC/KCBOE/rg <br />Item# 27 <br />Attachment number 5 <br />Page 169 of 199 <br />
