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. ïè ó ï FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Current value of PO# 080104 $127,966.00 Requested increase to PO# 0801041 $ 39,034.00 Increased value of work done by Triumph Aluminum $167,000.00 Paid to Date $126,687.34 Balance to be paid $ 40,312.66 Balance in Homer Watson House Account $ 55,407.68 (#59500361 – 631000) COMMUNICATIONS: Work has been completed since September of 2008 with no deficiencies reported to date.
