STATEMENT OF WORK

Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge Vehicle Bay Insulation Project

Background:

This is a non-personnel services contract to provide and install high-performance closed cell polyurethane spray foam insulation to the walls and roof of a pre-engineered metal building, insulate all overhead doors with pre-cut foam panels and upgrade door springs as needed. The Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge has a partially insulated vehicle storage building and is seeking bids to complete the interior insulation prior to heater installation. This project will allow fire service vehicles and equipment to be kept in this building without being subject to freezing conditions, increasing availability and readiness to respond to fire threats.

Description of Services:

The work consists of the contractor furnishing and providing all labor, personnel, supervision, equipment, training, transportation, tools, materials, operating supplies, and any other incidental items and services necessary to insulate the building. The Refuge will provide electricity and water sources.

No other Refuge provided material will be provided. The Refuge will remove equipment stored in the building from the work area.

This is a standard pre-engineered metal building, horizontal girts and purlins, concrete slab, with electrical and life/safety components. The area to be insulated is 135’ x 36’9”, Ceiling height is 19’ at the peak height and 16’ at the eave, exterior sheeting is 26 Ga steel panels. There are three pedestrian doors and three overhead doors sized 14’h x10’w and six overhead doors sized 12’h x 10’w.

Application Areas:

Walls: Target value R-15. Full-height application directly to the inside of wall panels and within girts.

Roof: Target value R-15. Underside of metal roof panels and within purlins. Ensure that gaps in purlins are sealed.
