I-5
TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE AZUSA UTILITY
BOARD
FROM: MANNY ROBLEDO, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES
DATE: JULY 20, 2020
SUBJECT: APPROVE A PURCHASE ORDER WITH LA ROCQUE BETTER ROOFS
INC. FOR AN ENERGY EFFICIENT (COOL) ROOF ON THE AZUSA
LIBRARY IN THE AMOUNT OF $105,990
BACKGROUND:
The Azusa Library’s roof was built decades ago and is in need of maintenance, including
numerous drainage and leak issues that require immediate attention. Additionally, the current
roof is not energy efficient as it absorbs heat that ultimately enters the building envelope
requiring additional cooling. The proposed action would authorize the repair of the maintenance
issues and the application of a white silicone energy efficient overlay that would seal the leaks
and save energy in cooling the building. Azusa Light & Water (ALW) energy efficiency funds
are available for this purpose.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Utility Board take the following action:
1)Approve a Purchase Order to La Rocque Better Roofs Inc. for the repair of the
Library building roof and the application of an energy efficient (cool) overlay in an
amount not-to-exceed $105,990.
ANALYSIS:
The heating and cooling costs for the library remain very high because of the old age and
condition of the current roof. The library is used daily by students, community members,
committees, employees, and other Azusa public groups, and the replacement of the roof with a
new energy efficient (cool) roof will correct the maintenance issues and increase energy
efficiency along with employee and public safety. The Apoc Armor Flex Silicone roof is a heavy
