Davis Campus Trailer Floor Repair and Upgrade

I. GENERAL INFORMATION

A. Introduction The USGS Western Ecological Research Center owns a doublewide laboratory trailer (mobile home) at the Davis Field Station facility located on the University of California, Davis Campus in Davis, CA. The goal of this contract is to Inspect, repair, and upgrade the existing floor of the trailer. This project’s Statement of Work (SOW) outlines the requirements for the inspection, repair, and the installation of a new Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) flooring in a 1,200 square foot double-wide trailer.

B. Background The Western Ecological Research Center (WERC) plays a vital role in collecting, analyzing, and sharing biological data essential for responsible stewardship of the Nation’s natural resources. Its mission focuses on deepening understanding of biological systems and the many benefits they provide to society. As a field‑driven research organization operating throughout California, the Center is staffed by scientists known nationally and internationally for their expertise. These experts collaborate extensively with Federal, State, and local agencies, as well as academic institutions and private partners.

Research conducted across the Center’s field stations spans many of California’s key ecosystems. Areas of scientific emphasis include the ecology of rare and common species; habitat assessment; design and evaluation of marine reserves; contaminant effects in terrestrial and aquatic environments; fire ecology; the impacts of land management on migratory waterfowl; and the influence of urban expansion on natural landscapes.
