Statement of Work (SOW)

Leveling the 3rd Floor Bldg. 47

1 Goal The goal of the St Petersburg Regional Office is to repair the damage to the floor caused by the excessive weight of the former Mobile File System utilized on the third floor in Building 47.

1.1 Background

The Department of Veterans Affairs has a requirement for the repair of the floor located on the third floor in Building 47 on the VA Regional Office grounds. The concrete floor has a multitude of cracks in it due to its prior use as a file storage facility. There was a previously used mobile files system installed that weighed in excess of 275,000 lbs in addition to the weight of the files.

1.2 Scope

The contractor shall first seal the floor using a thin coat of epoxy sealant to prevent water from leaking to the floor below. The contractor shall utilize a minimum of (1”) floor leveling compound to level the floor to a grade 2 standard in accordance with the VA specifications found in sections 6 and 7 below. The contractor shall level the entire floor area in order to have a smooth surface. The finished floor shall be in a suitable condition to accept new flooring. Contractor shall remove existing cove base and purchase and install new 6” cove base to match existing color.

2 General Requirements Contractor shall fill all holes and cracks in the floor with thin coat of epoxy sealant on the entire 14,500 sq. ft. of floor area. Once all the holes and cracks have been sealed the contractor shall apply floor leveling compound on the floor to a one inch (1”) thickness.

This work will be accomplished during normal business hours as it does not interfere with the operations of the facility. Negative air equipment shall be vented out of the area in order to contain any dust and reduce smells. The result of this work will allow the floor to be returned to a level surface prepared to accept any type of flooring the facility chooses to install.
