Body
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This action supports the following areas of your Board’s Strategic Plan.
Area of Focus: Workforce & Operational Excellence
Strategic Plan Category: 3002 - Invest in county facilities
DISCUSSION:
This Project includes re-roofing the Humboldt County Correctional Facility (HCCF).
The existing roof system has experienced numerous leaks for years and has resulted in ongoing maintenance and replacement of finishes, as well as occasional disruption to facility operations.
The existing roof is over 28 years old and failing. The facility has about 31,200 square feet of roof with 12 separate roof decks. The existing roof system will be removed. New tapered insulation will maintain good drainage and provide energy efficiency for the building. The new 80-mil thermoplastic roof covering will include a 25-year warranty. Additional work includes replacement of roof drains; installation of new maintenance walkways; and install new skylight over housing areas. The work will be performed during regular hours, without impacting the ongoing use and operations. As the roof work is performed, a temporary protection will be applied at the cessation of each workday, to prevent water infiltration. Removal of the entire existing roof will be required. Appropriate demolition and removal of materials is included in the scope of work.

OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office
ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Your Board could choose to not authorize the Humboldt County Correctional Re-Roofing Project, Project No. 162826 to go out for bid. However, this is not recommended as water infiltration into the facility disrupts housing conditions, damages interior finishes, furniture, and equipment, and exacerbates harmful environmental conditions such as mold growth. Moreover, not proceeding with this project will require continued periodic remedial repairs as new roof leaks appear.
