SERVICE GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

PART 1 – GENERAL

ITEM 1 – LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION OF WORK

1.1 Background: The building was constructed in 1927. During the Rehabilitation project in 2003 carpeting was installed in the 2nd floor offices. The carpet is showing signs of deterioration due to the age of the carpeting and usage.

1.2 Work Covered by the Contract Documents:

A. Project Location: Brown v. Board of Education National Historical Park, 1515 SE Monroe St, Topeka, Ks. 66612

Work consists of:

1. This project will remove approximately 3300 SF of commercial grade high traffic glued down sheet carpeting and install approximately 3300 SF of commercial grade carpet tiles.

2. This Contractor shall verify total square foot area as all sf information in this scope is approximate. This project will include offices 208, 209, 212, 216, Connecting Hall, 219, 220, 226, 227, 228, 229 and 230 designated in the floor plan in attachment A below.

There is an opening between rooms 226 and 230 not shown on plan view. Approximate room dimensions are listed below in attachment B.

3. The new carpet will be laid in monolithic pattern to appear as sheet carpeting.

4. The scope of this project will include the removal of the current sheet carpet and rubber transition strips. Offices have original wood baseboards will not be removed these will stay in place, if shoe molding needs to be removed in these areas for carpet installation these must be replaced after carpet installation. The contractor will replace any damaged shoe moldings with same size and the NPS will paint the new moldings and any areas where the paint is damaged during removal and reinstallation.

5. Room 216 has a concrete floor; all other rooms have a ¼” plywood underlayment. If there is any underlayment damage it must be repaired by installing self-leveling compound or replacement of the subfloor area. Contractor should plan on 10% replacement and 50% of the area needing to be leveled with self-leveling compound.

6. NPS staff will remove IT equipment as needed as well as personal items that are in the office spaces. Contractor will be required to move furniture as needed, such as desks and file cabinets to complete carpet and cove base installation. The cubes in room 216 are attached to the floor and cannot move.

7. There are approximately 12 power and IT boxes in the floor that will remain and there are some piping and compressor penetrations that will have to be worked around. (See photos below)
