SCOPE OF WORK

Receiving Dock Replacement – Three Buildings Willow Building • Storeroom • Forensic Center Dock Reconstruction • Concrete Stairs & Handrails • Bumper Installation • Concrete Restoration • Height & Angle Adjustments

1. Project Overview This Scope of Work defines the requirements for the complete replacement / reconstruction of three (3) receiving docks located at the Willow Building, Storeroom, and Forensic Center. Work includes demolition of existing dock structures as required, reconstruction of dock platforms to the specified dimensions, installation of new concrete stairs and handrails (or repair of existing), installation of dock bumpers, restoration of adjacent concrete sections, and specific height and angle adjustments to ensure proper truck interface.

The completed work shall provide safe, durable, code-compliant receiving docks suitable for ongoing material handling and delivery operations, with proper vehicle clearance, pedestrian access via stairs and handrails, and impact protection via dock bumpers.

*Attendance at the mandatory pre-bid meeting is required prior to submitting a bid.

1. Provide proper foundations, reinforcement, expansion joints, and drainage details

1. Concrete shall meet or exceed local structural and durability requirements

1. Provide smooth, level working surfaces suitable for material handling equipment and pedestrian traffic

1. Coordinate dock elevation and edge details with existing building floor elevations and overhead door thresholds

2.3 Dock Bumpers

1. Furnish and install new dock bumpers at all three docks

1. Bumpers shall be heavy-duty rubber or laminated dock bumpers sized and rated for commercial truck impact

1. Mount bumpers securely to the dock face at appropriate height and spacing to protect both the dock structure and delivery vehicles

1. Basis-of-design: commercial-grade laminated rubber dock bumpers or approved equal

2.4 Concrete Restoration

1. Restore damaged or deteriorated sections of concrete adjacent to or associated with each dock

1. Prepare substrates by removing loose or unsound concrete, cleaning, and applying bonding agents as required

1. Repair with compatible structural repair mortar or concrete matching existing strength and finish

1. Provide proper curing and protection of repaired areas

2.5 Codes & Standards

1. All work shall comply with applicable building codes, including structural, accessibility (ADA), and life-safety requirements

1. Stairs and handrails shall meet current code requirements for rise/run, handrail height, and extensions to function properly with height of the dock

3. Willow Building Dock Location-specific requirements for the Willow Building receiving dock.

3.1 Dimensions

1. Length: 32 feet 6 inches

1. Depth: 9 feet 7 inches

1. Height: 43 inches (above grade or truck-bed reference as determined by design)

3.2 Height Adjustment

1. Evaluate existing truck interface; trucks currently sit too high when backed up to the dock

1. Adjust dock height slightly as required to achieve proper truck-bed alignment for safe and efficient loading/unloading. If proper alignment is unachievable, then a dock lift may be installed

1. Final height shall be confirmed during mandatory pre-bid meeting onsite based on typical delivery vehicle bed heights which are generally estimated between 40” to 50”

3.3 New Concrete Stairs & Handrails

1. Furnish and install a new set of concrete stairs on the side of the dock

1. Stairs shall provide safe pedestrian access between grade and dock level

1. Furnish and install new handrails on both sides of the stairs (or as required by code)

1. Handrails shall be commercial-grade, corrosion-resistant (galvanized steel, aluminum, or stainless steel), meeting code height, and extension requirements

1. Provide proper footings, landings, and connections to the dock structure

3.4 Concrete Section Restoration

1. Restore sections of concrete identified as damaged or deteriorated in the dock and adjacent areas

1. Coordinate restoration with new dock construction and stair installation to achieve a continuous, durable surface

4. Storeroom Dock Location-specific requirements for the Storeroom receiving dock.

4.1 Dimensions

1. Length: 12 feet 7 inches

1. Depth: 8 feet 7 inches

1. Height: 32 inches

4.2 Stairs & Handrail Repair

1. Repair existing concrete steps serving the Storeroom dock

1. Repair or replace handrail as required to restore full structural integrity to meet code compliance for safe operation

1. Repairs shall match existing configuration where feasible while meeting current code requirements for rise/run and handrail standards

1. Replace any severely damaged treads, risers, or structural components; patch and refinish remaining sound concrete

4.3 Dock Bumpers

1. Install new dock bumpers as described in Section 2.3

5. Forensic Center Dock Location-specific requirements for the Forensic Center receiving dock.

5.1 Dimensions

1. Length: 18 feet 0 inches

1. Depth: 8 feet 0 inches

1. Height: 46 inches

5.2 Angle Adjustment for Ramp Approach

1. Trucks back down a ramp to approach this dock; the dock face / approach angle requires adjustment

1. Evaluate the existing approach geometry and truck turning/backing path

1. Adjust dock orientation, face angle, or approach apron as required so that trucks can square up properly and achieve safe, level engagement with the dock

1. Coordinate any approach paving or concrete work with the dock reconstruction

1. Final geometry shall be confirmed by design based on site survey and typical vehicle dimensions

5.3 Stairs & Handrail Repair

1. Repair existing concrete steps serving the Forensic Center dock
