Document Description
The Department of General Services/Real Estate Services Division (DGS/RESD) proposes to re-roof approximately 90,000 square feet of the State Capitol Building (Capitol). The Capitol roof membrane is comprised of two roof types: a Trocal single ply roof over polyisocyanurate rigid foam insulation and a four-layer asphalt roof. The older, original membrane below contains asbestos. The Trocal membrane that lies on top of the original membrane is failing and has trapped water below its surface, causing deterioration of the insulation, and some areas have leaked to the interior of the Capitol Building. Additionally, skylights will be replaced because the old skylights have had periodic water infiltration issues for many years.
The project scope includes the demolition of two roofing systems: replacement of the gutter and rainwater leader system; removal and replacement of mechanical equipment; removal and reinstallation of all electrical connections; removal of wood walk paths; and removal of flooring in two light wells. The mechanical equipment curbs will be raised and new flashing and walk paths will be added for the mechanical equipment and security. Additionally, new skylight structures will be installed, including the tunnel walkway. The project scope also includes installation of a new Operating Procedures Outline Sheet (OPOS) rated window washing swing and miscellaneous California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 24 upgrades.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15301, 15331
Reasons for Exemption
The project consists of repair and maintenance of an existing public structure, including mechanical equipment and involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond existing use. Because the Capitol is listed as a historic building on the National Register, the project was reviewed by the California State Historical Preservation Office to determine if the project's scope is consistent with the Secretary of the Interiors Standards for the "Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring, and Reconstructing Historic Buildings (Guidelines)." Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 5024(f), Department of General Services received the State Historical Preservation Office's concurrence that the project is consistent with the Guidelines and will not adversely affect historical resources at the Capitol Park or the Capitol building.
