STATEMENT of WORK

For

Installation of Forced Entry and Ballistic Resistant (FEBR) Windows

INTRODUCTION:

labor, tools, materials, transportation etc. for the design and build contract of installation of three new FEBR windows at CCAC. All work will be performed within in firm fixed-price contract.

BACKGROUND:

The CCAC pass back booth currently have three windows with only one having teller tray.

Consular requested to install all three windows built with teller trays.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICS:

The US Consulate, Karachi seeks to acquire design and build services for the Installation of Teller Windows at Consular CAC pass back booth (C103-02). There are 03 Nos. FEBR windows in the consular pass back booth and only 01 window has the deal tray. The expected number of visa applicants have increased over the period of few months and there is a new requirement to provide deal tray to all three windows. The works shall include removal of existing FEBR windows, demolition of existing concrete wall below the existing FEBR windows to make way for installation of new FEBR windows with deal trays. All the 03 windows are embedded in one sub-frame. The whole sub-frame does not need to be taken out. Only a portion of the sub-frame below the bottom of windowsill must be removed. Once the portion of sub-frame is removed, install a new half sub-frame that will slide into the existing jambs and header. The jointing of old and new sub-frame will be through 15-minute FEBR welding. Later, install 03 new teller windows and center posts. The construction debris can be removed using the CAC entrance to motor pool parking towards SCAC. During the course of execution, one side of CAC will remain operational for routine customers however, additional security escorts will be required for surveillance.
