Statement of Work (SOW):

1. The Project generally consists of Base work that requires the removal of existing epoxy floor coatings, along with removal of existing cove base in Lab Rooms 110, 111, 112, 113, 114,115, and 116---all identified in SOW floor plan attachments. The existing epoxy floor coating is failing and will require full removal leaving the concrete ready to receive new welded-seam sheet flooring system with integral base suitable for use in a BSL-2 lab environment, per CDC surfaces requirements. Epoxy removal shall be accomplished by mechanical means and methods as no chemical/solvent methods will be allowed. Note that Storage Room 119 may receive Vinyl Composition Tile (VCT) and rubber cove base--see Option 1 for additional information. Note: Dust mitigation and containment is of the utmost importance for the duration of the Project.

The work will also necessitate the moving of existing appliances such as freezers, refrigerators, large gas cylinders, and other lab equipment. An itemized list of the appliances and equipment is included in this SOW, along with representative photos of the room equipment. Note: About half of storage room 119 may be used by the Contractor as a staging area to temporarily house the appliances and equipment. This SOW contains videos of the Lab Rooms and inner spaces, along with the Storage Room. If bidders are unable to view the videos, please notify the CO.

2. This SOW consists of a written description of the work, pictures showing typical floor conditions (that may or may not include additional written descriptions), videos, existing drawings, flooring specifications, referenced standards, Equipment List, Exhibit A, and FAR Solicitation and Contract clauses that are identified in the complete Solicitation package.

The SOW is in PDF format. Note that attachments can be minimized or maximized in size for greater clarity.

B. Visually inspect flooring materials, adhesives and accessories prior to installation. Flooring material with visual defects shall not be installed and shall not be considered as a legitimate claim.

C. Examine subfloors prior to installation to determine that surfaces are smooth and free from cracks, holes, ridges, and other defects that might prevent adhesive bond or impair durability or appearance of the flooring material.

D. Inspect subfloors prior to installation to determine that surfaces are free from curing, sealing, parting and hardening compounds; residual adhesives; adhesive removers; and other foreign materials that might prevent adhesive bond. Visually inspect for evidence of moisture, alkaline salts, carbonation, dusting, mold, or mildew.

E. Report conditions contrary to contract requirements that would prevent a proper installation.

Do not proceed with the installation until unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.

F. Failure to call attention to defects or imperfections will be construed as acceptance and approval of the subfloor. Installation indicates acceptance of substrates with regard to conditions existing at the time of installation.

Remove curing and hardening compounds not compatible with the adhesives used, as indicated by a bond test or by the compound manufacturer's recommendations for flooring. Avoid organic solvents. Spray paints, permanent markers and other indelible ink markers must not be used to write on the back of the flooring material or used to mark the concrete slab as they could bleed through, telegraphing up to the surface and permanently staining the flooring material. If these contaminants are present on the substrate they must be mechanically removed prior to the installation of the flooring material.

Refer to ASTM F 710 Standard Practice for Preparing Concrete Floors to Receive Resilient Flooring for additional information on subfloor preparation.

C. For Tile High-Moisture Installation perform subfloor moisture testing in accordance with ASTM F 2170, “Standard Test Method for Determining Relative Humidity in Concrete Slabs Using in-situ Probes” or ASTM F 1869,“Standard Test Method for Measuring Moisture Vapor Emission Rate of Concrete Subfloor Using Anhydrous Calcium Chloride” and Bond Tests. to determine if surfaces are dry; free of curing and hardening compounds, old adhesive, and other coatings; and ready to receive flooring. Relative humidity shall not exceed 95%.][MVER shall not exceed 7 lbs./1000 sq. ft./24 hrs. On installations where both the Percent Relative Humidity and the Moisture Vapor Emission Rate tests are conducted, results for both tests shall comply with the allowable limits listed above. Do not proceed with flooring installation until results of moisture tests are acceptable. All test results shall be documented and retained.

D. Concrete pH Testing: Perform pH tests on concrete floors regardless of their age or grade level. All test results shall be documented, distributed to the CO, and retained with the Contractor at the site and with the close-out documents.

3.04 INSTALLATION OF FLOORING

A. Install flooring in strict accordance with referenced standards and manufacturer’s recommendations.

Designation: F 710 – 05

Standard Practice for Preparing Concrete Floors to Receive Resilient Flooring1

This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 710; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.

1. Scope

1.1 This practice covers the determination of the acceptabil-ity of a concrete floor for the installation of resilient flooring.

1.2 This practice includes suggestions for the construction

of a concrete floor to ensure its acceptability for installation of resilient flooring.

1.3 This practice does not cover the adequacy of the

concrete floor to perform its structural requirements.

1.4 This practice covers the necessary preparation of con-

crete floors prior to the installation of resilient flooring.

1.5 This practice does not supersede in any manner the

resilient flooring or adhesive manufacturer’s written instruc-tions. Consult the individual manufacturer for specific recom-mendations.

1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the

safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use. See 5.1, 7.1.1, and

7.1.2 for specific warning statements.

1.7 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded

as standard. The values in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units and are provided for information only.
