Roof revenue: three different questions

Level-authored reproducibility analysis. This report makes the retained calculator inputs auditable. It is not an original college or agency document.

Annual housekeeping: $0.14 per roof square foot per year. Conditional replacement: $22.12 per roof square foot per project. Portfolio-equivalent allowance: $1.02 per roof square foot per year using an assumed 25-year cycle.

Illustration: a 25,000-square-foot planning roof

QuestionCalculationIllustrative result
Recurring housekeeping25,000 × $0.14 per year$3,500 per year
Replacement if commissioned25,000 × $22.12 per project$553,000 once
Portfolio planning allowance25,000 × published $1.02 per year$25,500 per year (rounded input)

The planning roof is not an observed typical building. The illustration applies one schedule rate; it does not establish applicable minimum charges or site-specific contract terms. Annual housekeeping is the recurring headline. The allowance is a long-run planning scenario, not revenue a roofer can book this year. Known roof condition, scope and an actual contract still determine the bid.

How an operator should use this

Separate the recurring contract book from replacement pipeline. Track roof area, contract scope and scheduled work independently. A replacement backlog is not recurring revenue; spending allowances do not tell you which roof will fail next. Use your own bid and direct-cost records to estimate gross profit.

WCTC original primary memo has been recovered from a public web archive. The verification and document-integrity caveats apply to the archived source copy; they do not certify completeness of the entire original institution packet.

Five retained projects, three agency centers

Divide each retained award or base bid by its roof footprint. Take Helena's median first, then take the median of the three agency centers. This prevents three Helena projects from acting as three independent markets.

Median of unrounded agency centers = $22.117296; published center = $22.12. Observed project span = $18.66 to $33.97 per roof square foot. This span is not a measured market percentile or confidence interval.

WCTC: do not mix bid and authorization

The retained canonical numerator is the $1,157,000 base bid. The original memo recovery detail describes $58,000 contingency and $1,215,000 total authorization. Those two extra budget figures are separately described in the recovered original memo; check its verification and integrity notes. The memo reports approximately G 50,390 + S 1,922 = 52,312 square feet. The summed value preserves the printed approximate areas, not a measured precise footprint. The contingency and total authorization are excluded from the price-per-area numerator; the summed reported roof area is the denominator.

WCTC source status: Archived primary memo recovered; canonical verification metadata applies. Other rows are retained primary references, not newly refetched or reverified by this generator.

Reproduce the model without confusing time periods

Round once, after calculation

Replacement center = median(agency medians of award / roof area). Annual portfolio center = annual housekeeping + unrounded replacement center / assumed central cycle.

Planning boundFormulaPublished $ / roof sqft / year
Low0.14 + minimum raw project ratio / 30 years0.76
Central0.14 + median raw agency center / 25 years1.02
High0.14 + maximum raw project ratio / 20 years1.84

The 20/25/30-year cycles are planning assumptions, not observed replacement hazards. The bound pairs intentionally combine different cycle assumptions with the observed project envelope. They are not statistical percentiles.
