Bartow County Schools

Due to significant rusting of the existing metal roof panels, the Bartow County Schools retained Raymond Engineering to design a new recover roof assembly and manage its installation by the roofing contractor.  Although the administration implemented a very long design selection process, we were given a very short timetable for bidding. In less than two weeks, we inspected the facility to evaluate existing conditions and determine which penetrations would remain. We issued and received approval of the plans and specifications and developed a schedule for bidding and contracting. Although we had not been involved in the budget development of this project, the project came in within budget and was free of change orders. Although the metal panel delivery was slow, the contractor was able to complete the project in less than three weeks after delivery of material.
