This item concerns building material specifications for sheathing, including requirements for APA- or TECO-rated Exposure 1 OSB or plywood. It details specific thicknesses for wall, roof, and floor sheathing, as well as requirements for blocking and edge support like 'ply clips' for roof sheathing, especially under tile roofs. This is a planned agenda item under review by the Historic District Council of the City of Fernandina Beach. The project would involve the procurement and installation of specified sheathing materials during construction phases. Contractors specializing in framing, roofing, and general construction, as well as suppliers of building materials, could benefit from understanding these specifications early. Engaging before final plans and permits are issued allows for better preparation and potential bidding.
