Project Title: Replica Fiberglass Statues of the 3rd Infantry Division "Rocky" the Bulldog Statue (Quantity: 5)

This objective of this project is to create five high-quality replica fiberglass statues of the 3rd Infantry Division "Rocky" the Bulldog Statue. Statues must be designed to be weather-resistant and durable for outdoor display in tropical climates. The fiberglass statues must be constructed to support the weight of the statue at a single swivel point. Please see photos of the original statue.

Scope of Work:

1. Design and Development:

- Develop detailed design specifications for the five fiberglass replica statues based on the original "Rocky" the Bulldog Statue.

- Ensure that the fiberglass statues are structurally designed to support the weight of the statue at a single swivel point and able to withstand tropical weather conditions.

- Each statue shall be constructed on a fiberglass base that measures 5 feet wide, 8 feet long, and 6 inches high.

- Each fiberglass base will be constructed with the ability to be easily surface mounted to concrete. Instructions for proper installation must be included in the response.

- Final design must include details for attachment to a substrate or concrete slab which can be certified by a Georgia Engineer as hurricane resistant as per the Georgia Building Code.

- Each statue will be constructed to be anatomically correct as a “male” bulldog.

- Each statue shall have the rear legs offset with the rear left leg 9 inches forward of the right rear leg.

- Each statue shall partially rest on a fiberglass rock that is 27 inches wide, 15 inches long and varies in height of 9 inches for the statue chest to rest on and 6 inches for the statue right forearm to rest on.

- Each statue shall be constructed holding a fiberglass rife at “Right Shoulder Arms” with the right forearm parallel to the fiberglass plate and resting on a fiberglass rock 6 inches high.

- Each rifle shall be constructed 6 feet 8 inches long such that the highest point of the rifle reaches 7 feet above the fiberglass plate top surface while being held at “Right Shoulder Arms”.

- Each rifle shall have a 1 foot high 15.5 in long fiberglass guidon permanently fixed perpendicular to the rifle and 8 inches from the muzzle. The guidon shall appear to be waiving in the wind and have 3d centered on both sides.

- Contractor shall specify all the materials proposed in the requested quote.

- Contractor shall provide a schedule of standard maintenance procedures to meet life expectancy of the fiberglass sculpture.

- Contractor shall provide final weight of fiberglass horse sculpture.

- Each sculpture shall be engraved, in an inconspicuous location, with specifications including at minimum: material, weight, dimensions and year produced.

- The proposal price will include labor, materials, fabrication, packaging, delivery, and shipping to Fort Stewart, GA.

2. Craftsmanship and Materials:

- Utilize high-quality fiberglass materials that are weather-resistant, durable, and lightweight for outdoor display in tropical climates.

- Implement a reinforced internal structure within each fiberglass statue to support the weight of the statue at a single swivel point and enhance its stability.

- Employ skilled craftsmen with expertise in fiberglass fabrication to ensure precision, attention to detail, and weatherproofing in the construction of each replica statue.

- Internally reinforce the fiberglass plate to prevent sagging for the lifetime of the statue.

- Utilize weather resistant paint/coloring that does not fade or chip in tropical climates.

- Utilize black semi-gloss paint/coloring for the fiberglass statue and fiberglass plate.

- Utilize off white-grey paint/coloring for the fiberglass rock.

- Utilize off royal blue paint/coloring for the fiberglass guidon and white paint/coloring for the guidon lettering.

- Material must contain ultraviolet and abrasion protection to withstand the outdoor environmental elements in eastern Georgia.

3. Quality Assurance:

- Implement stringent quality control measures to verify the structural integrity, weather resistance, and load-bearing capacity of the fiberglass statues.

- Conduct thorough testing to ensure that each statue can support the weight at a single swivel point and withstand tropical and hurricane weather conditions without degradation.

4. Delivery and Installation:

- Coordinate the production timeline to meet the delivery schedule for the five fiberglass statues as outlined in the contract.

- Provide installation guidelines and support for the placement of the statues in outdoor tropical environments, ensuring proper assembly and stability.

5. Reporting and Documentation:

- Maintain detailed documentation of the fiberglass materials used, structural design specifications, weather resistance testing results, and quality assurance reports for each replica statue.

- Provide regular progress reports on the production, testing, and delivery of the fiberglass statues, highlighting key milestones and adherence to project requirements.

- Provide product care and warranty management plan for maintenance and upkeep of the fiberglass statues.

6. Compliance and Regulations:

- Ensure compliance with all relevant regulations, standards, and safety guidelines related to the production and installation of fiberglass statues for military use in tropical climates.

- Adhere to any intellectual property rights and licensing agreements associated with the design and reproduction of the "Rocky" the Bulldog Statue.

By adhering to the specified scope of work and delivering five weather-resistant fiberglass replica statues of the highest quality craftsmanship and materials, the contractor will contribute to the preservation and resilience of the 3rd Infantry Division "Rocky" the Bulldog Statue in challenging tropical and hurricane-prone environments.
