The Contractor shall coordinate all activities for compliance with these requirements through the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR).

1) DESCRIPTION OF WORK: The work consists of furnishing all labor, materials and equipment necessary to alleviate several fire department write-ups and one life safety issue within the existing 126ARW fuel cell space. Currently, workers in the fuel cell have no way of getting to the existing bathrooms without passing through the public breakroom and office spaces creating a contamination issue. The contractor will need to cut a doorway in the existing CMU wall and provide necessary structural support to allow for a walkway to be created through the men’s locker room allowing workers access to the existing restrooms.

Below is a summary of the work required:

b) Cut out a doorway into the existing ½ walls that are located within the janitors closet, Room 116.

c) All CMU block shall be painted to match the existing CMU walls in the building and be at the same fire rating as the surrounding walls. Contractor shall also install fire-rated ceiling tiles as needed. Install necessary lighting, HVAC (as needed) and fire suppression in the hallway in order to meet all AFI, UFC and NEC/NFPA codes.

A. The majority of the work is inside a controlled area (aircraft fuel cell). The Contractor will coordinate with the COR and CES to ensure there is an escort for the contractors while in the hangar.
