The Alpharetta City Council on Monday will consider a contract with Garland/DBS, Inc. to make roof repairs and replacements and wall restoration at two of its facilities.

The Council will consider the contract during its meeting, which starts at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 2 in the Council Chambers at Alpharetta City Hall.

The contract amount is $181,705 and repairs will be made at the following locations:

• Wills Park Recreation Center: replace standing seam metal roof and elastomeric masonry block wall restoration;
• Public Works headquarters: roof repairs, including seams, penetrations, copings, fascia walls, perimeter, skylights. The roof’s metal panels are in great condition, but there are many sensitivities and leak spots due to many penetrations, skylights and roof seams. This repair should keep the roof leak free for the foreseeable future and is 23 percent the cost of a new roof, which is estimated at $125,000.

The city notes its used Garland for other projects, such as roof restoration, wall restoration, shingle, and metal edge roof section repairs at multiple parks and recreation facilities and roof replacements at Fire Stations 1, 3 and 4.

Once the contract is executed, the city expects the completion of the projects won’t take longer than 45 days from the notice-to-proceed directive.

Alpharetta City Hall is at 2 Park Plaza. The full agenda can be viewed here.
