STATEMENT OF WORK

RESTORATION OF TWO STATIC DISPLAY AIRCRAFT (F-4C and F-15A)

Scope of Work. The contractor shall execute the project as stated in the SOW for restoration and preservation that maintains the aircraft in a properly altered condition. The primary goal is to preserve the history of the United States Air Force and maintain authenticity of the static display aircraft. Contractor shall provide all personnel, tools, equipment, material, supervision, technical expertise, and other related items necessary to perform restoration of aircraft i.e., sheet metal work, maintenance repairs, bird proofing and painting static display aircraft located at the Western Air Defense Sector (WADS) Air Park, Joint Base Lewis McChord, WA. Both aircraft are mounted on 12 ft tall pedestals in a grassy area next to a parking lot.

Contractor Experience. Five (5) years minimum experience in aircraft restoration work and three (3) references of past aircraft stripping and painting work accomplished.

Complete Restoration. Performance of restoration requirements will include, but not limited to paint preparation, corrosion repairs, sheet metal work, fiberglass work, primer, aircraft maintenance repairs painting, bird proofing, hardware replacement, adhesive use and vinyl/decal replacement. Provide all decals and standard markings and apply IAW Air Force Technical Order 1-1-4, Exterior Finishes, Insignia, and Markings, Applicable to USAF Aircraft 14 May 1994, Change 7, 17 July 1998, and AC 43.13-1B, Acceptable Methods, Techniques, and Practices Aircraft Inspection and Repair dated 8 September 1998 to be comparable and similar in repair for appearance and hardware of original aircraft. Paint color shade examples are listed in Federal Standard 595 Paint Specification. Contractor shall protect all landscaping adjacent to aircraft from damage. All damage caused by the contractor will be repaired or replaced at no additional cost to the government, within 10 days after identification/notification.

Preparation of Aircraft. Contractor shall assess aircraft for structural soundness and ensure previous paint, dirt deposits, residual oil, biological soils, pest, and insect/bird nests will be removed from aircraft. Contractor shall follow manufacturer’s recommended instructions for preparation and painting of highest-grade Pittsburg Paint Group (PPG) AUE-360 urethane. Inspect to ensure substrate is free of corrosion prior to primer/paint. Repair or replace any damaged panels or structural pieces. Frequently quantities of bird nests and debris are found within the structure. After removal of this debris, repair or replace areas of corrosion (caused by bird droppings, which are highly corrosive to aluminum) or damage. Prepare aircraft to a sound substrate per paint manufactures paint specifications prior to painting. Ensure to coat aircraft with primer as needed prior to painting. Paint shall not be performed on aircraft until sheet metal damage is repaired or replaced, corrosion and composite repairs are completed, primer applied, and aircraft maintenance discrepancies are completed.

The aircraft is ready for paint once the structure is repaired, prepped, and washed and government personnel inspect aircraft prior to painting. Paint scheme, colors, and pattern of aircraft shall simulate original specifications. Contractor shall ensure the painted/restored static display has a smooth finished and all decals/markings replaced as needed, and in appropriate positions simulating original specifications. Contractor shall utilize PPG Commercial Performance Coatings of AUE-360 urethane paint.

Aircraft Maintenance Discrepancy Repairs. Maintenance repairs restore aircraft to its original unaltered or properly altered condition. Where repairs, alterations, or maintenance is preformed, every effort shall be made to ensure repairs are comparable and similar in appearance and hardware. Screw applications are divided into three basic groups: structural screws, machine screws, and self-tapping screws: all can be used for static display aircraft repairs.

Bird Proofing. Install bird proofing securely to close openings and to prevent birds from landing on/in aircraft surfaces. Bird proofing consists of a number of processes, for example: bird spikes are a long lasting, humane, nearly invisible excellent low profile bird control product, used to protect numerous areas around the aircraft.

Spikes deter problem birds from aircraft areas by presenting an unsuitable landing area and preventing birds from gaining footholds. Additionally, the use of wire mesh around holes and openings will keep pests and birds from entering aircraft. All installed bird proofing shall be secure and effective, closing off holes and are humane.

Bird proof aircraft by screening, plugging or covering vents, nozzles, wheel wells, cowlings and cowl flap areas, intakes, air scoops, exhausts, aircraft stand and engines. The government shall approve all bird proofing solutions prior to installation.

Applying Adhesive and Screws. Be sure to read and follow AC 43.13-1B, Acceptable Methods, Techniques, and Practices, Aircraft Inspection and Repair for adhesive application instructions. Additional use of self-tapping screws for bird proofing adds an increase support from the environment and high winds.

Performance Period. Contractor will have 120 days to perform and complete requested work from the date of contract award, however must start within 30 days of contract award. Contractor can choose and have the ability to work weekends if so desired. Upon completion of painting, area will be cleaned to remove all items associated with the restoration process.
