1.O BACKGROUND AND EXISTING CONDITIONS:

Bodie Island has four housing units: 117, 118, 119 and 120, that provide lodging for permanent and seasonal employees. The units were constructed circa 1965. The housing units are on pilings next to the Ocean. Salt and sand are constantly being blown against the exterior surfaces causing the paint to fail before it’s life expectancy. There are areas where the paint has chipped, and some areas have no paint at all. The exterior surfaces are covered with dirt and air pollutants and must be cleaned before painting.

2.0 OBJECTIVE:

2.1 Restore Exterior Finishes of Housing Units to protect critical component.
