Furthermore, at this latitude the reflectivity of a white PVC <br /> roof offers no significant energy savings due to two main points; the cooling season is short <br /> compared to south of the Mason-Dixon line and in 3 to 5 years white roofs accumulate enough <br /> dirt to become roughly equal in reflectivity to a gravel surfaced built up roof. Because the <br /> combined construction cost of the two buildings was expected to be less than $100,000, we only <br /> solicited quotes from top-tier contractors to provide quotes on the project. <br /> Costs and Funding: The total cost of this project including engineering will be funded from <br /> Fund 400, Water Improvement Fund. <br /> 44, <br /> Craig G.
