The General Service Administration (GSA) is seeking sources for a re-roofing project at the Calais IA Land Port of Entry (LPOE) Commercial Building in Calais, Maine. The existing TPO roof suffered severe wind damage around April 20, 2025, necessitating a complete replacement. The project involves removing existing roofing materials, including parapet wall components, TPO membrane, Dens Deck, and insulation panels. The work also includes preparing penetrations while the building remains operational, inspecting the roof deck, installing a temporary weather barrier, and then installing approximately 30,400 sqft of 4-inch rigid panel insulation and 1/2 inch prime Dens Deck. Tapered insulation crickets and saddles will be utilized to improve drainage and prevent water ponding. A total of approximately 31,100 sqft of flat Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) roofing will be installed using a low-rise urethane adhesive, as mechanical fasteners are not permitted on the hollow core concrete deck. Finally, new top flashing will be installed around the parapet wall, and all grounding rods and penetrations will be reinstalled and sealed.
