The services shall include, but shall not be limited to mobilization, protection of existing facilities, shoring, removal of existing plaster in specified areas, installation of ferrocement jacketing comprising welded wire mesh and mortar cement plaster, paint, clean up, and demobilization.

The facility, MSGR, is located on the US Residential Compound in Juba, South Sudan. Access to the site shall be requested through the Embassy’s Facility Manager (FM) or Contracting Officer Representative (COR).
