Statement of Work CERC Epoxy Floor Finishing

1. General Information.

a. Background. The Columbia Environmental Research Center (CERC), located at 4200 New Haven Road in Columbia Missouri, conducts research needed to address national and international environmental contaminant issues and effects of habitat alterations on aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. The A3 Main Building at the CERC is a 34,019 square foot research laboratory building that houses several research laboratories, office space, and a 6,000 square foot research wet laboratory.

b. Applicable Documents.

i. Attachment 2 Epoxy Floor Plan Marked Yellow

c. Scope. USGS-CERC requires refinished concrete flooring for the footprint of the main building’s wet lab. The existing floor is concrete with grating over piping raceways. A 100% solids epoxy coating is required.

2. Work Requirements.

a. Technical Requirements.

i. Refinish existing concrete floor area 56’ x 40’ and 25’x15’ (nominally 2,615 square feet).
