August 2026 Page 1 of 5

SCOPE OF WORK (SOW)

PHYSICAL SECURITY GATE CONVERSION:

SWING TO CANTILEVER ROLLING GATE

U.S. COAST GUARD STATION LORAIN, OH

1.0 PROJECT TITLE & BACKGROUND

Project Title: Main Security Gate Conversion (Swing-to-Cantilever) Location: U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Station Lorain, 110 Alabama Ave, Lorain, OH

44052 Requesting Agency: United States Coast Guard (USCG) Point of Contact (POC): Mary Ludlow (Mary.E.Ludlow@uscg.mil) / Jeremy

Jarrett (Jeremy.L.Jarrett@uscg.mil)

Background:

The facility currently utilizes a manual swing gate system at its main security perimeter. This configuration poses operational challenges, safety concerns during high winds, and structural strain over time. To enhance access control efficiency, improve personnel safety, and maintain strict physical security standards, the USCG requires the conversion of the existing swing gate to a modern, top-track cantilever rolling gate system.

2.0 OBJECTIVES

The Contractor shall provide all labor, tools, equipment, materials, transportation, engineering, safety controls, and supervision required to:

1. Demolish and remove the existing manual swing gate structure.

2. Install an industrial-grade, single top track cantilever-style chain-link gate spanning a 24' opening.

3. Ensure the new rolling gate matches and integrates seamlessly with the existing 7' + 1' (8' total height) high-security galvanized chain-link fencing.

4. Re-use and reinforce existing posts while introducing necessary secondary structural supports.

3.0 SCOPE OF WORK & TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

3.1 Demolition, Site Preparation, & Disposal

Demolition: The Contractor shall carefully disassemble, unhinge, and remove the existing swing gate panel and associated mounting hardware.

Post Evaluation: The Contractor shall inspect and prepare the existing 6 5/8'' outer diameter (OD) structural steel hinge/latch posts for integration into the new cantilever system.

Debris Mitigation & Haul Away: All decommissioned gate materials, hardware, and packaging must be removed from government property. The Contractor is responsible for the legal disposal of all waste materials off-site. The site must be left clean and free of metal fragments, wire, or debris daily.

3.2 Material & Hardware Specifications

The gate and supporting hardware must conform to industrial-grade standards capable of withstanding harsh coastal weather conditions (marine environment).

Gate Dimension: Built to fit a clear opening of 24' (twenty-four feet).

Fence Style Compatibility: Standard 7' + 1' security configuration:

7' of industrial-grade, hot-dip galvanized chain-link fabric (minimum 9-gauge steel wire with 2'' mesh).

1' top security extension consisting of 3 strands of commercial-grade galvanized barbed wire mounted on extension arms angled outward at 45 degrees.

Frame Structure:

Gate frame and vertical uprights shall be constructed from minimum

2'' × 2'' × 0.125'' structural square aluminum or galvanized steel tubing to prevent sag and ensure structural rigidity.

Bottom frame elements must conform to the details in the structural drawings, maintaining a 1'' ground clearance.

Track & Trolley System:

Style: Single top track cantilever design.

August 2026 Page 3 of 5

Trolley Assembly: Heavy-duty internal track trolley assemblies with sealed, lubricated-for-life ball-bearing wheels to ensure smooth manual operation.

Hardware: Heavy-duty 12mm U-bolts to secure track assemblies and trolley components to the structural posts. Wheel guide brackets must feature a heavy-duty dual-wheel design with protective guide covers to prevent derailment.

Structural Support Posts:

The Contractor shall reuse the existing 6 5/8'' OD post.

The Contractor shall install a second 6 5/8'' OD industrial-grade galvanized steel support post to secure the cantilever system's counterbalance length.

Any new post excavations must extend below the local frost line (minimum

42'' deep) and be encased in minimum 3,000 PSI compressive strength concrete.

4.0 PERIOD AND PLACE OF PERFORMANCE

Place of Performance: All work shall be performed on-site at USCG Station

Lorain, 110 Alabama Ave, Lorain, OH 44052.

Period of Performance (PoP): All work, including final site cleanup and inspection, shall be completed within thirty (30) calendar days from receipt of the Notice to Proceed (NTP).

Working Hours: Work shall be performed between the hours of 0800 and 1630, Monday through Friday, excluding Federal Holidays. Any variance in working hours must be submitted in writing and approved forty-eight (48) hours in advance by the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR).

5.0 UTILITIES, SAFETY, & SECURITY

5.1 Underground Utilities

The Contractor is solely responsible for identifying, marking, and protecting all underground utilities.

The Contractor shall initiate an "Ohio 811" utility locate request at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to any excavation or digging.

The Contractor shall exercise extreme caution when digging near existing utility pathways. The Contractor shall repair any utility damaged during construction at no additional cost to the Government.

5.2 Site Security & Access

The project site is located on an active military installation. All Contractor personnel must be U.S. citizens or legally authorized workers, and must present valid government-issued photo identification (e.g., driver's license, passport) for gate access.

The Contractor shall coordinate deliveries of materials with the Station POC at least twenty-four (24) hours in advance to prevent bottlenecking at the station entrance.

At no point during the execution of this contract shall the facility's perimeter security fence be left compromised or open overnight. Temporary security measures (e.g., temporary security fencing, chain-locks, or guarding) must be deployed if the perimeter cannot be sealed at the end of a shift.

5.3 Occupational Safety

The Contractor shall comply with all local, state, and federal safety regulations (OSHA 29 CFR Part 1926).

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)—including hard hats, safety glasses, high-visibility vests, and steel-toe boots—must be worn by all personnel within the designated work zone.

6.0 QUALITY ASSURANCE & INSPECTION

Interim Inspections: The COR reserves the right to inspect materials on-site, concrete pours, and post settings prior to final assembly.

Final Acceptance Criteria:

The cantilever gate must slide smoothly along the track without binding, friction, or excessive physical effort.

The latching and locking mechanisms must align perfectly and function securely.

All barbed wire lines must be tight, securely tied, and free from slack.

All surfaces must be free from sharp burrs, rough welds, or construction debris.
