Statement of Work (SOW) / Performance Work Statement (PWS)

This document outlines the scope of work for repairs and replacements to the roof and soffits of an existing 8'x8' brick structure.

• Roofing: Remove existing tile roofing and 1" roof sheathing. Install new 4-ply ½" plywood sheathing (no OSB). Install new 29-gauge painted ribbed steel roofing, including ice and snow guard adhesive, trims (drip edge, ridge cap), and closures. Color and warranty information for the steel roof must be included.

• Soffits & Facia: Remove existing blocks at rafter tails and on the bottom side of soffit runs to create smoother lines. Install new 2"x6" facia boards. Install 29-gauge steel soffit and facia trim, color-coded to match the roof.

• Ceiling: Install a white steel ceiling with necessary trim and a scuttle hole.

• Structural: Rafters appear to be in good shape. "Sistering up" with new wood is recommended for any questionable rafters or bottom chords.

• Site Visit: A site visit is mandatory for all bidders due to challenging site conditions, including limited parking, heavy pedestrian and commercial traffic, a significant slope, and proximity to a river and street. Tear-off material must be removed immediately upon hitting the ground.

• Material Handling: New materials will be delivered in sizes that fit most trucks and must be installed directly onto the building due to lack of storage space.

• Safety: Scaffolding will be required for safe site and project execution.

• Material Concerns: Existing roofing materials may contain asbestos; bidders should be aware of potential hazards.
