SUBJECT: Authorization to Execute Change Order for Roof Repairs, Triangle Sportsplex
DEPARTMENT: Purchasing PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No
ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT:

PURPOSE: To consider approving a change order not-to-exceed $180,000 for replacement of
the roof over the ice rink and needed repairs in the central common area and the area over the
pools at the Triangle Sportsplex.
BACKGROUND: The construction of the Central Orange Senior Center and Sportsplex
renovation project is scheduled for completion by mid-January 2009. As the Board is aware,
major additional space was provided to the Sportsplex by developing a mezzanine area over the
ice rink, which will be used for weight and cardio programs.
The development of the mezzanine space revealed what appears to be along-standing issue
with the roofing system over the ice rink. The original 1994 roof, which is nearing the end of its
useful life, was installed without a vapor barrier. The lack of a vapor barrier, coupled with the
significant temperature difference between the ice rink and the ambient air, accelerated roof
failure. Although repairs could be carried out for approximately $80,000, the life of the roof
would only be extended for approximately 3 years. Following review of a roof report from the
County's roofing consultant, staff is recommending the roof over the rink be replaced. The
replacement will include a 15-year material and labor warranty.
Staff recommends the work be done prior to the completion of the renovation in order to prevent
further damage of the renovated areas and to minimize inconvenience to the long-suffering
Sportsplex patrons.
The requested change order also includes funds to make needed repairs to the roof over the
common areas and pools as well. No total replacement is recommended for those areas at this
time.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The estimated cost for the replacement and repair work is estimated not
to exceed $180,000. These funds are available in the Board-approved Roof
Repairs/Replacement Capital Project Ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board approve a change order not-
to-exceed $180,000 for replacement of the roof over the ice rink and needed repairs in the
central common area and the area over the pools at the Triangle Sportsplex; and authorize the
Manager to execute the change order.
