SOW Floor Resurfacing final.pdf

Statement of Work

The Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC) has been tasked with developing its abilities to study emerging needs of regional aquaculture by constructing a new state of the art marine finfish recirculating aquaculture system (RAS). In support of this task we need to make key renovations to the lab space this system will occupy. The existing paint in the space is chipped, peeling, cracked, or stained exposing the concrete foundation. In order for us to go ahead with this RAS installation all the surfaces in the lab need to be prepped and repainted with a suitable paint for a seawater laboratory. Surface in need adds up to roughly 2400 square feet including a portion of wall space and drain covers.
