The Bainbridge Island School District has picked Meyer Brothers Roofing and Sheet Metal, Inc. as the contractor for the roof replacement project at Woodward Middle School.

The company, based in Kent, submitted a base bid of $1,010,941.

Other bidders included Wayne's Roofing, Inc. and COBRA Building Envelope Contractors.

Construction will begin June 30 and continue through Sept. 2.

School officials said the old roof will be replaced with durable composition shingles on the steep slope portions of the roof, and with a strong new membrane on the lower slope portions of the roof. All of the metal flashing, metal panels, gutters, downspouts and skylights will be replaced or refurbished, and other metal features will be repainted to extend their life.

The project will mean limited access to the school and grounds. Construction staging will be based in the north and south parking lots while the existing roof is demolished and a new one is installed. Both parking lots will be closed until August to all but essential personnel. The construction area will be fenced for safety and additional traffic will be managed to minimize impacts on the surrounding community.

Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENPH), announced today that New Zealands largest microinverter installation, using Enphase Microinverters, has been successfully installed at the Auckland War Memorial Museum. What Power Crisis, a provider of renewable energy services and solutions for New Zealand and the Pacific Islands, utilized Enphase microinverter technology in this 50kW rooftop system.

What Power Crisis selected Enphase technology for its ability to meet the installation guidelines set by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust. The guidelines prohibit DC wiring to run down the inside of the building. Enphase systems are all-AC cabling, which easily comply with the building code guidelines. Enphase technology also allowed the Museum to maximize its rooftop space and increase its planned system size from 42kW to 50kW.

Our original design plans involved string inverters, but Enphase Microinverters allowed us to increase the system size significantly to provide the Auckland War Museum with greater energy production, said David Keppel, managing director for What Power Crisis. Enphase technology benefits both our business and our customers because it offers more design flexibility than any other inverter.

The Auckland War Museum is a high-profile installation that will help raise solar energy awareness in the region, said Nathan Dunn, managing director, Asia-Pacific, Enphase Energy. We are thrilled to have customers and partners in New Zealand who help demonstrate the benefits of smart solar power.

With the Enphase-based solar system, the Auckland War Museum expects to reduce its electricity expenses and its carbon emissions footprint while generating enough clean energy to power the buildings extensive electricity demands by producing an estimated 66,000 kWh per year.

INDIANAPOLIS -

A vacant south side apartment complex covered with graffiti is giving Department of Public Works crews a workout.

They're using the city's mobile "graffiti abatement unit" to remove the many profanities and gang symbols from walls, doors, windows, even playground equipment.

The clean-up comes in the wake of the city's new graffiti ordinance which took effect April 1st. It holds the property owner responsible for removing graffiti.

Republican councilor Jeff Miller was one of the sponsors. He says graffiti brings down a neighborhood with the culprits very hard to catch.

While opponents charge the ordinance targets the wrong people, the victims. Miller says if the graffiti isn't removed, "the neighborhood becomes a victim."

He said when a property owner is cited they have several avenues of help to turn to like free paint and supplies to help with removal.

Public Safety Director Troy Riggs said there are two major problems with graffiti.

"One, they're using your property as a canvas and that's a crime and two, gangs mark and leave messages behind," Riggs said.

But he also noted the writings on the wall can also help "build intelligence" which can track gang activity, lead to those responsible and allow authorities to "seek restitution."
