Comprehensive Assessment and Report on the Existing Roof at the Civic Centre.
Tender Overview
About this tender
Horsham Rural City Council invites suitably qualified contractors to submit a proposal to provide a comprehensive report assessing the current metal roofing, drainage pipes, and gutter system, including recommendations for the necessary repairs and renewal works at the Civic Centre, 18 Roberts Avenue Horsham. Further information regarding the current roof system is provided below: The approximate roof area is 60 x 65 m². The current roof has been modified through multiple renovation and upgrade stages, with approximately 80% of the roof area covered by solar panels. Most stormwater downpipes are concealed within the walls, and there are multiple interconnected gutters throughout the building. We are currently experiencing ongoing roof issues at our Civic Centre main office building, including minor roof leaks at various locations, which have been addressed through spot repairs on each occasion. Photos of the current roof condition are available for your reference. Council is now seeking to undertake a comprehensive assessment of the entire roof system and explore suitable options for roof repairs, renewal works, and potential upgrade opportunities. The report, including supporting photos, must provide the following details: Assessment and condition rating of all roofing materials, including estimated remaining lifespan, metal thickness, sealant condition and suitability, surface damage, roof drainage systems assessing to existing box gutters, downpipes, overflow discharge, roof sheeting to all metal roofing, skylights, including roof flashings, capping’s, and other associated roofing components. Cross-reference all identified issues and previous works against the relevant Australian/New Zealand Standards and codes relating to metal roofing and wall cladding. Provide a rectification report, including cost estimates, outlining the recommended repair and renewal works for all affected roof areas.
