1.1 DESCRIPTION

The intent of this project is to wash the exterior windows at four (4) Federal buildings in Sacramento.

These buildings are located at 501 I St., 801 I St., 650 Capitol Mall, and 2800 Cottage way. 501 I St. is 350 feet tall with several unique features and a brand new building façade access system that was recently commissioned. 801 is four stories tall and has no façade access system. 650 Capitol Mall is 8 stories tall and has a rooftop mounted façade access system. And 2800 Cottage Way is two stories tall and has no façade access system.

501 I St. exterior has not been cleaned in years due to an inoperable façade access system. A new system was engineered and installed in early 2022. A large portion of this project is to address the exterior cleaning of this building and its surrounding features. This includes the building, walkways, loading dock, sally port, two out-buildings, and two garden areas.

The contractor shall furnish adequate supervision, labor, materials, supplies and equipment necessary to perform all the services required under this contract in an orderly, timely and efficient manner. The Federal Office Building is owned by the Federal Government and it is not subject to the requirements of the local Building Department. However, all local, state and federal codes need to be followed. The contractor shall be responsible for the provision of design documents and calculations as required to illustrate and explain the work to be completed.

Unless otherwise indicated, items of work are inclusive of, but not limited to, all labor, materials, equipment, traffic control, safety measures, replacement of disrupted improvements, coordination, preparation and accommodation of project constraints (whether specifically identified in these specifications or encountered during the contract) necessary to complete the item in conformance with all applicable governing agency regulations and specifications to the satisfaction of the Government and inspecting agency. Items of work that are necessary to complete the project in accordance with the plans and specifications if any, but that are not specifically called out in the Schedule of Unit Prices, are considered incidental to the project and are not subject to separate compensation.

The project requirements include all training, labor, and cleanup.

Proposal The contractor's proposal should include pricing for all items listed below as well as any item the contractor believes will be needed to complete this project. The proposal will need to include detailed pricing for each item listed below and the labor rate, time required, and materials needed to complete the project.
