HOMER WATSON HOUSE – ROOF AND CLERESTORY
WINDOW REPLACEMENT
RECOMMENDATION:
That council approve the increase to PO# 0801041 to cover additional construction costs
related to the re-roofing and clerestory window replacement at Homer Watson House.
BACKGROUND:
Triumph Aluminum and Sheet Metal Inc of Concord, Ontario, was issued a purchase order in
July of 2008 for re roofing of the Homer Watson House and Gallery and for installation of new
clerestory windows. Additional work was required to address a number of deficiencies with the
existing structure and the related costs exceed the 10% allowable under the original PO.
REPORT:
Removal of the existing shingles started the first week of August. Upon removal, numerous
deficiencies were found with the existing roof structure and decking. Remedial work, described
as follows, had to be carried out prior to installing the new roofing system:
1. The entire roof deck was covered in 7 mm plywood to provide a solid support and a
nailing surface for the new shingles.
2. Significant rot was found in the clerestory roof rafters which need to be repaired.
3. Significant rot was found around the clerestory window framing and need to be replaced.
4. Insulation in the clerestory attic space had disintegrated and was replaced.
5. Insulation in the sloped ceiling of the clerestory was non existent. This area was foamed.
6. Significant rot was found on the rear entrance canopy roof deck, framing, and on one of
the supporting columns which all needed to be replaced.
7. Existing copper gutters and downspouts were in poor condition and were repaired.
