STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

STATIC DISPLAYAIRCRAFT AC-130A

RESTORATION 2024

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES: The AC-130A located at the Hurlburt Field Air Park shall be restored to present a museum quality appearance in accordance with (IAW) AFI 84-103.

The contractor shall perform necessary disassembly of the aircraft and components in effort to locate and remove all areas of external and internal corrosion. Make sure the item is clean and free from dirt, debris, carbon, and contaminants. Perform sheet metal repairs to damaged and corroded areas. Treat corrosion with inhibiting compounds to all external/internal surfaces as specified, reassemble all components and items, apply final chemical coating treatment to prevent corrosion from spreading, protect it from the elements while the aircraft awaits restoration, and provide color matching high gloss polyurethane paint touch-up maintenance. The Contractor shall provide all personnel, safety gear and equipment, tools, materials, supervision, safety transportation, chemical authorization listing approved by the base environmental and HAZMAT pharmacy and other items necessary to perform aircraft restoration services at Hurlburt Field, FL as defined in this Statement of Work. (SOW).

The Government will provide the Contractor with the paint scheme, markings, and paint types by military specification. The Contractor shall purchase adequate amounts of sheet metal, extrusion tubing, hardware, sealant, paint, and any other materials needed to comply with the requirements of this SOW.

The government has selected the colors or commercial equivalent to be applied by the process of spray application by the contractor (See APPENDIX A)

AIRCRAFT PAINTING PROCESS SEQUENCE OF EVENTS: The Contractor shall thoroughly clean the aircraft exterior painted surfaces, wheel wells, and landing gear struts in accordance with TO 1-1-691 and thoroughly inspect the aircraft to determine the soundness of the paint film. Areas of severely deteriorated paint as indicated by loose, oxidized. peeling paint, contamination from hydraulic oil, engine oil, fuel or other fluids, or where bare metal is showing, shall be feathered using 220-400 grit sandpaper. Approved cleaning agents are MIL Spec 87937, Type II and MIL Spec 85570, Type IL, and Chemical guys foaming soaps. These cleaners are water dilutable and biodegradable materials and are the primary cleaners for washing the exterior of aircraft.

The contractor shall remove all areas of corrosion, from the exterior of the aircraft, including but not limited to aircraft wheels, wheel wells, propellers, rotor blades, landing gear, external fuel tanks, and historically required accessories. The contractor shall remove all areas of corrosion, from the interior of the aircraft, including primary and secondary structure, tubing, seats, windows, and bulkheads. The Contractor shall repair these areas and then treat these areas with corrosion preventative compounds, and overcoat in polyurethane paint. The entire aircraft shall be painted to the original paint color scheme (See APPENDIX A). The Contractor shall restore the aircraft to the original operational appearance as selected by the base historian. (See APPENDIX A).

The contractor shall completely scuff-sand the entire exterior surface, of the aircraft , wheel wells and landing gear struts, excluding bare metal areas, using abrasive paper no coarser than 120 grit, 3M Corp medium grade aluminum oxide surface conditioning disc, or A-A-58054, Type I, Class I, Grade C abrasive mat. Scuff sanding shall include roughing up 100% of the painted surface, removal of oxidized paint, and feathering of all flaked paint. It is not intended to remove a sound paint system. Light scuffing is sufficient for adhesion of the primer tie-coat to a sound topcoat. Do not sand through to bare metal as damage to the aircraft may occur. Sanding down to bare metal is allowed for removal of corrosion. No chemical paint removers are authorized or will be used for removing the aircraft topcoat of paint. Additional information can be found in T.O.s 1- 1-8, and 1-1-691.

Nose art will be hand painted to match original appearance. All markings that are not painted on will have a UV resistant coating applied over the marking.

The Contractor shall secure all windows, doors, access panels and hatches, rudders, and elevator. The contractor shall raise the wing flaps to the fully stowed position and permanently secure them in that position. The Contractor shall bird proof vertical fin, all vents, wheel wells, flap openings, elevator opening, rudder openings, cowlings openings, cowl flap areas, intakes, air scoops, and exhausts ducts.
