About this file

This Statement of Work (SOW) details requirements for the renovation of an Animal Health Science Laboratory in Maputo, Mozambique, to be executed as a design-build project by the US Army Corps of Engineers Europe District. The project involves renovating a 45m x 15.5m three-story concrete building, with key work items including: replacing the existing asbestos tile roof with new corrugated metal roofing, demolishing and replacing flooring in main corridors on all three floors (approximately 100m2 per floor), performing mold abatement in Room #27, demolishing and replacing the butane gas distribution system, installing new bathroom lighting, and patching/painting interior walls/ceilings throughout the facility as well as the building facade.

The SOW provides detailed requirements across architectural, structural, electrical, and mechanical disciplines. Notable technical specifications include: demolition and abatement procedures for hazardous materials, structural verification of existing wood roof trusses, new LED lighting requirements for bathrooms (minimum 150 lux), and a complete replacement of the butane gas distribution system with new point-of-use connections. The contractor must provide design submittals at 65%, 95%, and 100% completion stages. Project coordination requires adherence to both Host Nation building codes and International Building Code standards where applicable. The design must be verified by an independent structural engineer, and all work must maintain facility operations during construction. Systems must have a minimum 25-year lifespan and emphasize low maintenance requirements.

Hollow steel sections must be of a minimum steel grade equivalent S 235 conforming to the applicable Eurocode standard.

4.6.3 COLD-FORMED STEEL FRAMING MEMBERS

Cold-formed steel framing members must have a minimum steel grade equivalent S 235 conforming to the applicable Eurocode standard.

4.6.4 WOOD

Wood must be new lumber, undamaged, not infected with insects and show no signs of previous use. It must be chemically protected against termites and other harmful insects or deterioration. Chemical treatment of wooden construction must be non-toxic and harmless to the environment (Contractor to provide proof certificates and manufacturer’s information).

4.7 BUILDING STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS

4.7.1 SUPERSTRUCTURE SYSTEMS

The superstructure system must provide vertical and lateral load carrying capacity and must provide durability, maintainability, and cost effectiveness. Roof openings and all supports for electrical and mechanical equipment must be detailed or adequately described on the drawings or in the specifications. Door openings must be sufficiently strong and solid to support the door structure and keep it level and plumb throughout the life of the structure. The structural designer must ensure that all architectural/mechanical/electrical equipment is properly anchored/braced and that these elements are adequately framed and connected as required by the design criteria, especially where seismic design is required.

4.7.1.1 LATERAL (HORIZONTAL) FORCE RESISTING SYSTEM

Rehabilitation, repair, replacement, or new elements comprising the lateral force resisting system in the buildings must be compatible with the existing structural elements.

4.7.1.2 STRUCTURAL ROOF FRAMING

Roof framing members must be either wood or steel. Roof sheathing must be corrugated metal and must be of sufficient thickness to perform as a lateral diaphragm for transferring lateral loads to the main lateral force resisting system (shear walls). Existing trusses/joists used for roof framing must be verified for new loads, and reinforced if required by analysis. The new metal deck is expected to be lighter than the concrete tiles, and minimal truss/joists reinforcement is expected. For bidding purposes, assume 10% of trusses/joists will be reinforced by doubling up the framing members.

Ensure the new metal deck is properly anchored to the supporting structure (truss/joists) using approved fasteners. Contractor must submit calculations demonstrating the metal deck fastening is adequate for gravity, lateral, and uplift loads.

See Architectural Section of this document for insulation, roof covering, and other architectural related roof elements. The roof must be sloped in accordance with the Architectural Section of this document.
