Client Objectives:
Stop leaks in main Plaza Deck Courtyard and Mill Street Plaza Deck and enhance drainage
Remove Mill Street Plaza Deck raised planter area and install new hydronic snow melt system and natural flagstone slab design
Completion of all work before tourist season and minimize hardship of noise and operation issues
Solution:
Work included separate major contracts for roofing and Plaza Deck repair and restoration. The roofing contract (Project 1) included repair and replacement of 435 squares of existing synthetic steep sloped roofing areas with natural slate and an extensive leak and waterproofing repair to existing outdoor Plaza Deck areas (Project 2).
Project One:
Under extreme time constraints and bidding procedures, Arnold &
Associates was commissioned to complete contract documents,
coordinate owner-purchased Vermont Slate, and provide on-site
quality observation services on the removal and replacement of 435
squares of slate roofing on a steep sloped roof system of this
Five-Star hotel in Aspen, Colorado.
The owner's requirements for installation required that the slate be installed before winter and the ski season. After extensive contractor qualification interviews, the project was successfully bid and awarded. The scope of the project included the roof slate removal and replacement on three separate hotel buildings as well as copper sheet metal fabrication work, and a state-of-the-art ice melting system installation.
Project Two: This contract for this project called for a four week construction schedule. Arnold & Associates, Inc. successfully bid, negotiated, and coordinated awards for construction contracts with a waterproofing contractor to complete plaza deck waterproofing repairs on two separate plaza deck areas of the facility which had been leaking into ballrooms, meeting rooms, and other public spaces below the deck.
Outcomes:
Work on Project One was completed successfully within the parameters set forth by the hotel. Total cost for this project was $1,550,000.
Work on Project Two was completed on time and on budget ($285,000) within the operational constraints mandated by the hotel. Work included removal and reinstallation of existing Colorado flagstone slabs, copper perimeter flashings, and waterproofing membrane. On a separate plaza deck, work included the removal of a large raised planter, waterproofing, filling, and installation of a hydronic snow melting system.
