Central Administration Building (CAB) Tower Reroof Project

The contract involves a comprehensive roofing renovation for the Central Administration Building (CAB) Tower in Tacoma, Washington, with a project value estimated between $150,000 and $300,000. The scope includes the complete removal of the existing roofing system on the uppermost tower roof, covering approximately 3,000 square feet, which encompasses four roof turrets—three to be re-roofed and one serving as a mechanical shaft—as well as an elevator machine room. New roofing materials, flashings, insulation, downspouts, and related components will be installed to ensure a durable and compliant roofing system. Additionally, the project entails removing the interior face of existing wall coatings over masonry parapets, followed by tuck pointing, sealing, and painting of these parapet walls and the elevator penthouse walls to restore and protect these structures. The project also includes installing a new perimeter guard rail system at eight existing parapet openings, designed to meet current building codes and historic preservation standards, with structurally anchored top and mid-rails for safety. Furthermore, a permanent fall protection anchorage system will be engineered and installed to facilitate ongoing maintenance and safety during roofing work and guard rail installation. The solicitation was posted on January 7, 2025, with a response deadline of January 30, 2025, and is managed by Tacoma Public Schools, under the NAICS code 238160, which pertains to roofing and siding contractors.
