    I am inquiriing about a Museum Re-Roof. The owner  needs a zero-water inflitration clause in the documents. I need to know if there is a definition of "zero - water infiltration" ? What is the best way to adddress it in the documents and enforce it during construction? Does any one have a good guideline for pre-qualifing reroofing contractors.?  I have the "x" number of years experience of reroofing similar size and complex roofing. I will demand that Certified superentendent and installers are required to work on project.  I am concerned because it is a public project that if a contractor can bond it they will bid it.

    The project is a very nasty tear off and reroof with single membrane product.

    I would welcome any suggestions, definitions or comments from anyone who has experience on a similar project. Thanks in advance for any comments or help.
