Lee County Commissioners to vote on new roof for Boca Grande Community Center
When Lee County Commissioners hold their monthly meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 15, one of the topics of discussion will be approval of the budget for the replacement of the Boca Grande Community Center roof.
This will be what is known as a County Project Authorization with West Coast Florida Enterprises, Inc. The cost for the project is $223,500.
The roof was installed more than 35 years ago and is in a somewhat sorry state of affairs: It has leaked in several places and continues to do so. The proposal includes replacing the current roofing material with FiberTite, which is supposed to be long-lasting and has a 20-year warranty.
The money will be funded through the General Fund.
It is estimated that it will take four months from start to finish.
The FiberTite website shows the Lee County Judicial Center roof as their “2021 Project of the Year,” which is depicted in the photo here.
When we asked Lee County if this was the type of roofing material that would be used on the Community Center, they said the FiberTite material is for the flat roof only. The sloped roof will be done separately.
