Part I: Statement of Work (SOW)

BLD 254 Repair of Interior Finishes

1.0 General: The New Hampshire Air National Guard requires the repair of interior finishes inside building 254. The facility consists of an Aircraft hangar and Aircraft Maintenance personnel office space. The in-scope area is a primarily single-story commercial facility with industrial maintenance space, offices, and locker rooms throughout. The facility will need to remain partially operational during the scope of the repair and construction, to support air operations and aircraft maintenance at the NH Air National Guard.

1.1 Scope: This work statement includes all work necessary to support the required effort, equipment, and supplies needed (description below) to replace interior finished surfaces and repair utilities within the footprint of the identified area on a supplied plan inside building 254, located at the NHANG, Pease ANGB, Newington, NH 03801.

1.1.1 Objectives: Provide repair of interior finished surfaces and reestablish utilities.

1.2 Background: The NHANG inside building 254, recently accomplished a demolition, debris removal, mold remediation, HVAC duct cleaning and interior surface cleaning contract. Interior finished surfaces were selectively demolished, and infrastructure was left in a condition to be reinstalled after restoration. The area of the facility is primarily unoccupied and will be throughout the term of this effort. Aircraft Maintenance administration and operations are being run elsewhere on the installation. The main hangar facility is still operational and is not in the scope of this SOW.

5.2.2

5.2.3

5.2.4

Electrical outlets, light switches, lighting, surface mounted fixtures, thermostats, fan controls, motion sensors, communications equipment, fire alarm sensing / notification and alarm and other wall mounted devices and components not listed will need to be reinstalled to code compliant heights and locations.

During the recent demolition to remediate mold, care was taken to remove and make safe these components in preparation for reconstruction. The reinstallation of these items may require partial and or complete isolation of circuits or other utilities to complete. Licensed trades work will be required for reinstallation on a like for like basis i.e. licensed electricians for electrical, licensed HVAC technicians for heating ventilation and air conditioning systems.

HVAC duct systems need minor repair such as fabricating termination or fully closing off a section to create a properly terminated system. These have been identified in the supplied plans and on the detail schedule There exists an open-ended section of ductwork in rm24 that must be closed off to provide a fully encapsulated duct. The approximate size of the open duct is 12inx24in.

Any troubles or alarms on the Fire Alarm Control Panels (FACP) that are monitoring the areas in the scope of this effort will need to be addressed and corrected by the contractor.
