II. CONSIDERATION OF STAFF REPORT RE: CHANGE ORDER NO. 3, PROVIDING FOR
SHINGLE ROOFING FOR THE SARATOGA COMMUNITY LIBRARY
City Manager reported that since the time of the bid-opening for the
library project and subsequent approval of the low bid of the shake shingle
roofing c~mponent and anticipation'~on~th~ p~rt'~of'th~-architect, as well
as the City, that possibly there would be an opportunity to have a shake
shingle roof on the library. The contractor was asked for a price to
include shake shingle roofing. A net price of $10,131.50 will be forth-
coming from the architect.
He further provided that implementation of this change order would also
require approval of the City Council to adopt a modification of the City
ordinance pertaining to fire regulations, as it would require choosing
an alternative for fire-proof shake shingles. The alternative had been
approved by the County Fire Marshall's Office, and a similiar one approved
by the City of Los Altos in construction of their new branch library to
provide for the shake shingle roof.
Mayor Bridges indicated .he had received a telephone call from Congressmen
Mineta's office that the City had been granted a demonstration project
in the amount of $81,639 for the solar demonstration program previously
applied for. The discussion then centered on whether or not the shake
roofing could be cut back in those areas where the solar units would
be applied. The City Manager indicated he thought this was possible
and would review this proposal with the architect.
It was then moved by Councilmen Kraus, seconded by Councilwomen Corr that
change order No. 3 be approved not to exceed $10,131.50 to provide for
the shake roofing for the library. The City Manager was further directed
to talk with the architect to see whether or not this could be reduced
by using some other material in those areas which would be covered by the
solar collection units in the solar heating demonstration program.
The motion carried unanimously.
