SEALANT REPLACEMENT PROJECT

ATTACHMENT A: SCOPE OF WORK

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES REQUESTED

BACKGROUND

The State Preservation Board (SPB) has a unique and diverse mission to preserve, maintain, and restore historic properties entrusted to its care. The quality of service is evident to occupants and those who visit historic spaces in the Capitol and Grounds, Texas State Cemetery, Governor’s Mansion and Bullock Texas State History Museum. Day-to-day operations range from daily housekeeping, maintenance and groundskeeping to curating and preserving over 4,000 historic artifacts in its collection and on loan.

The Texas Capitol Grounds sidewalk and plaza sealant was installed in 1997 with some select sealant repairs and replacement in different areas over the last twenty-seven years. The Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum Plaza and Sidewalks polyurethane and silicone sealant was installed in 2000 and has had some sealant joints repaired or replaced over the last twenty-four years. Polyurethane horizontal flatwork joints and silicone joints at both sites are all exhibiting varying degrees of fatigue and failure due to excessive traffic, exposure to the elements, and improper installation.

This Project aims to remove, clean, prep, and properly install new sealant joints in all locations as indicated in the provided drawings.
