PROJECT NAME: Siding Replacement of Quarters 128, National Elk Refuge

STATEMENT OF WORK:

The exterior siding of the 1,956 square foot Quarters 128, “Calkins House” has weathered and deteriorated and needs a complete replacement.

SCOPE:

1) Demolition: Remove old wrapping; board and batten siding; deteriorated trim, soffits and fascia.

Haul away and dispose of construction debris. There is space for a rollaway dumpster in the yard next to the quarters.

2) Install new weatherproof wrap around house. Layout and install prefinished smooth siding and wood trim. Siding should be rated to withstand extreme environmental temperatures without warping, cracking, twisting, cupping or fading and should not require long term maintenance such as re-staining. An engineered wood product (wood and fibers are treated with zinc borate, adhesive resins, waxes, and overlay) or a fiber cement product free of knots and common defects is required, vinyl or natural wood siding is not accepted. Recommended color Prairie Clay or similar neutral earth tone for new materials.

3) Repair rotten fascia and vented soffit. Paint (or install similar color material to siding) fascia and soffit around the house to match trim color. Plywood with venting installed painted to match exterior color such as on northwest corner of the house; manufactured vented soffit material with trim coil; or similar soffit/fascia enclosure materials are acceptable. Existing attic venting can remain.

4) Remove and reinstall or replace (if damaged during removal) existing metal rodent prevention strips on bottom of siding.
