Supply Specifications Summary

This document is a Supply Specifications file for roof sealing and coating services at the Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP) National Bus Center located at Federal Correctional Complex – Terre Haute, Indiana.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons intends to award a contract for acquisition of all parts, tools, equipment, and materials necessary for cleaning, repairing, priming, sealing, and coating the existing metal roof system on the National Bus Center (34,000 sq ft) and two outbuildings (3,800 sq ft total). The work requires application of a manufacturer-certified roof coating system (100% Silicone/Acrylic Elastomeric/ceramic elastomeric per Kool Kote X-Treme, Neogard, or industry guidelines via Lexis Coatings). Operations include substrate inspection and preparation, power washing at 2,500–3,000 PSI with biodegradable detergent, thorough rinsing with minimum 24-hour dry time, rust remediation, panel repair, fastener tightening and sealing, seam and lap sealing with flashing-grade sealant and reinforcing polyester fabric tape, caulking and sealing of penetrations, base/detail coat application, and full-field coating application via airless sprayer or heavy-duty roller at manufacturer-specified wet/dry film thickness. The coating must provide high reflectivity to deflect heat and reduce cooling costs, stretch and recover for thermal expansion without cracking, and provide seamless waterproof barrier resistant to sun degradation, mildew, and weathering. Work must be performed during weather conditions between 50°F–100°F with no rain or heavy dew threat. Quality control includes final walkthrough inspection with property owner to verify pinhole-free coverage, clean gutters, and proper drainage, with manufacturer warranty documentation upon complete cure verification. The contractor must provide a point of contact for on-site coordination and deliver equipment cut sheets/specifications and warranty documentation at project completion.
