The solicitation seeks a contractor to provide metal refinishing and maintenance services for brass handrails, bronze and stainless steel elevator components, and wood touch-up services for elevator cab interiors at the Texas State Capitol, Capitol Extension, Sam Houston Building, Robert E. Johnson Building, John H. Reagan Building, Capitol Visitors Center, Bullock Texas State History Museum, Texas State Cemetery, and Governor's Mansion. The maintenance schedule requires wash and wax services twice yearly (April 8 and August 8, +/- 3 weeks) and touch-up refinishing, scratch removal, and lacquer application once yearly in December. The proposal deadline is March 4, 2025, with work to be performed after hours and as available during the Legislative session from January 1, 2025 to June 1, 2025.

The scope requires contractors to match existing finishes across multiple metal types including bronze (oil rubbed, polished, satin, decorative), brass (polished, satin), stainless steel (directional and non-directional), and aluminum (brushed). Specific requirements include using nitrocellulose lacquer with three layers for brass handrails, chemical cleaning methods, and non-directional satin finishing to match naturally hand-rubbed areas. Work at the Governor's Mansion requires DPS security clearance two days in advance. The comprehensive scope details specific locations and treatments required for each building's metal components, with special attention to historic preservation requirements in the Capitol building.

STATE PRESERVATION BOARD PROPERTIES METAL REFINISHING AND MAINTENANCE

ATTACHMENT A: SCOPE OF WORK

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES REQUESTED

The State Preservation Board (SPB) is accepting bids to furnish all labor, materials, insurance, equipment, schedule, and supervision necessary to perform a two – year cycle contract for metal refinishing and regular maintenance of unpainted architectural metals, and as needed wood touch up services (starred buildings) for elevator cab interior panels for the State Preservation Board properties and state office buildings below:

1. Texas State Capitol*

2. Capitol Extension

3. Sam Houston Building (SHB)

4. Robert E. Johnson (REJ) Building*

5. John H. Reagan (JHR) Building

6. Capitol Visitors Center

7. Bullock Texas State History Museum*

8. Texas State Cemetery

9. Governor’s Mansion*

Maintenance Schedule

All metal surfaces to be maintained on the following schedule:

• Wash and Wax twice a year o Preferably first two-thirds of the year.

April 8 +/- 3 weeks August 8 +/- 3 weeks

• Touch up refinish, scratch removal, and lacquer once a year o Preferably at end of year in December

1) Texas State Capitol*

a) Brass handrails on three (3) levels of rotunda (Takeoff (LF) : Second Floor-139', Third Floor – 139', Fourth Floor – 139'

i. Clean and lacquer

ii. Wash and wax

• Historic treatment note: A nitrocellulose lacquer should be utilized. Low

VOC options are available, with equal performance. Three layers should be used, for maximum protection of these original building elements in

Attachment A: Scope of Work 3 high traffic areas. Strip and replace every 2 years, watch and consider more frequent replacement, as this type of finish can wear quickly.

Consider a sacrificial wax finish on higher-use areas, as a potential cost savings measure to allow longer periods between lacquer replacement.

• Wax would be more maintainable, but is not strong enough to protect from scratches from hand rings, and would have a high maintenance cost over time.

• Nitrocellulose lacquer is more durable than an acrylic lacquer, and appropriate for internal use where not exposed to UV rays.

• Rails should be cleaned chemically and gently to remove lacquers and any corrosion (most found between the hand-rubbed areas and the retained lacquer finish area).

• Re-finish should be as gentle as possible to restore an accurate period finish and evening out mirror finish and worn areas.

• Finish should be a non-directional satin, to achieve a dull satin shine without directional brush strokes. As close as possible to the naturally hand-rubbed finish on the worn areas is the goal.
