Storm Drain System Redesign for Building 1788

24 February 2025

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The United States Government (USG) has a requirement for Construction Services for Mountain Home Air Force Base (MHAFB), Mountain Home, ID. Work for the site generally consists of the addition of gutters over the access doorways to the courtyard at Building 1788, demolition of the interior courtyard concrete, tree wells, and storm inlet, grading and installation of new concrete and trench drain in the courtyard, replacement of 6-inch storm drain pipe, and repair failed and/or missing joint sealant and masonry sealant in courtyard.

The complete design package with drawings and specifications is provided herein. All work shall be in accordance with current Department of Defense Unified Facility Criteria (UFC) and Unified Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS).

2.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Due to an unusually high level of precipitation that occurred on August 3rd of 2023, the storm drain system for Building 1788 was unable to provide enough drainage, resulting in significant flooding and damage to the facility. The exterior walls of the facility consist of concrete masonry units where mortar joints appear to be split or separated at some locations. The main entry doors and windows consist of aluminum storefront framing where joint sealants are missing or failing at several locations, specifically around the window frames and at door thresholds. Pitched roofs are provided around the perimeter of the courtyard, the roofs consist of standing seam metal panels where no gutters or downspouts are installed, resulting in storm water from the roof draining directly to the ground in front of the door openings.

3.0 PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE

3.1 The period of performance for the following Statement of Work (SOW) shall be 150 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed (NTP).

3.2 The contractor must keep the Government appraised of the work schedule by providing a Baseline Schedule per the Submittal Schedule and a 3-Week Look Ahead Schedule of upcoming work to be performed. If the Contractor foresees a delay in Project completion beyond the requested completion date, the Contractor shall notify the USG Contracting Officer (KO) and USG Project Manager, in writing, of the reasons for the delay and provide a Get-Well-Plan to get back on schedule.

4.0 DESCRIPTION OF WORK: The Contractor shall provide all plant, labor, materials, equipment, supervision, and services to execute and satisfy the requirements in the Design, Drawings, Specifications, and this Statement of Work. See design sheets and plans for more information.

General description of work to be performed as follows:

4.1 Removal and replacement of door frames to allow construction access to courtyard.

The removal of existing door, door frames, and door access control systems will be required for contractor access. All parts shall be salvaged for reuse and reinstall.

4.2 Protection of indoor spaces necessary for construction access to the courtyard.

Contractor to relocate all existing furniture within area of work, construct temporary flooring to protect existing flooring, provide a temporary access door in the exterior opening, install heavy duty plastic sheeting over existing ceiling, and construct temporary framed partitions over temporary flooring.

4.3 Demolish the existing interior courtyard concrete, tree wells, and storm inlet. Remove 1,507 SF (Contractor to field verify quantity) of concrete in courtyard. Sawcut at existing joints on perimeter. Retain and protect existing concrete between joint and wall. Retain and protect 6” storm drain in courtyard. Remove all material from site and dispose of in accordance with Local, State, and Federal requirements.

4.4 Demolish approximately 50 SF of concrete sidewalk necessary to remove 35 LF of 6” storm drain outside of the courtyard. NOTE: Retain and protect existing 6” storm drain cleanout. Salvage gravel for restoration.

4.5 Install a new 6-foot outdoor floor trench drain in the courtyard. Connect trench drain outlet to existing 6” cast iron pipe invert. Finish concrete shall be 1/8” higher than top of channel frame with a stainless-steel grate provided over the trench drain system.

4.6 Replacement of reinforced concrete over crushed aggregate to provide positive drainage in courtyard to the new area drain. Perimeter to match existing concrete grade.

Cut contraction joints at least 1” deep. Expansion joints at the junctions with the existing concrete to remain in the courtyard with the specified joint filler, bar and sealant. Produce a scored surface by brooming with a fiber bristle brush.

4.7 Replace 35 LF of 6” storm drain from cleanout to the outlet location with straight grade from cleanout to outlet curb cut. NOTE: Restore landscape gravel to original location.

4.8 Replace two panels, approximately 50 SF concrete sidewalk. Sidewalk slab to be constructed in place of demolished sidewalk. Match adjacent grades, slopes and finish.

4.9 Installation of 10-foot gutter sections located above the two doorway access locations to the courtyard. The existing roof does not include gutters and downspouts. To direct stormwater away from the door openings, two 10-foot sections of gutters, centered in the doorways, are proposed. Each downspout to include associated elbows and straps.

4.10 Replace failed and/or missing joint sealant. The courtyard main entry doors and windows consist of aluminum storefront framing. Joint sealants are missing or failing at several locations, specifically around the window frames and at the door thresholds. The contractor shall remove and scrape existing sealant around all door and window frames.

Replacement backer rod and sealant shall be provided as necessary.

4.11 Repair failed and/or missing masonry sealant in courtyard. The exterior walls consist of concrete masonry units with vertical expansion joints at regular intervals. Mortar joints appear to be split or separated at some locations. Cracked and split mortar joints shall be repaired with a silicon-based sealant with sand mix to match the appearance of existing mortar joints.

4.12 The masonry shall be cleaned, and a masonry sealer shall be applied over all masonry surfaces facing the courtyard. The existing masonry veneer consists of split-face colored concrete block, which is porous and prone to absorbing moisture due to both the nature or the concrete and the manufacturing process of the split-face blocks. To resist water penetration into the wall cavity from wind driven rain, it should be maintained every 5 to 10 years with a water-repellent sealer. The contractor shall be responsible for cleaning the blocks and applying the sealer across the full length of the masonry walls facing the courtyard.

4.13 At the completion of courtyard work, return building and interior corridor to the original condition. Demolish temporary framed partitions, remove plastic sheeting from existing ceiling, remove temporary flooring, and replace furniture in its original location.

All existing finishes shall be patched and repaired as necessary to match existing undamaged finishes, including but not limited to existing walls, ceilings, flooring, doors, etc. Reinstall door frames with proper backer rod and sealant at exterior doors. Verify doors function properly. Connect door access control system and verify the door security controls function properly.
