2. Point of Contact at Location: Randy Kiehne

(651) – 649 - 5046 Randy.Kiehne@usda.gov

3. The scope of the project shall be, generally, the removal of the existing glazing system of the GH 398A (greenhouse of PSRU) and the replacement with new glazing system along miscellaneous work components in accordance with this Statement of Work, project specifications and project drawings.

Replacement of the glazing system and associated project components shall be performed in a neat, workmanlike manner and shall be sequenced to minimize the downtime of the greenhouse. All new materials for the complete and proper glazing replacement shall be on-site and ready for installation before proceeding with any demolition of the existing greenhouse glazing system. Once “on-site” work commences, the work shall be completed without interruption to avoid jeopardizing ongoing research and impacting ongoing plant growth.

The greenhouse glazing system shall consist of acrylic glazing panels with gasketed aluminum caps that are approved by the acrylic manufacturer. The completed glazing system shall provide closure for all edges of acrylic glazing panels. Provisions shall be made within the glazing system to handle expansion and contraction as required by the acrylic manufacturer. The completed glazing system shall provide a water / weather tight building and prevent condensation and moisture.

The replacement of the greenhouse’s glazing system shall be completed in phases such that ongoing research and plant growth is not interrupted. The Contractor shall coordinate thoroughly with the Owner such that plants, research equipment, etc. are relocated from phase to phase in a timely manner. Relocation of plants, research equipment, etc will be by Owner. See project drawings for additional information.

o Phase 1 shall be Link, GH Room 01, GH Room 02, and GH Room 03.

o Phase 2 shall be GH Room 04, GH Room 05, and Vestibule

4. Where “Approved Equal” is indicated in the specification of equipment, material or installation; the Owner shall approve all alternate equipment, materials, manufacturers or installation. It shall be the Contractor’s burden to furnish all documentation and / or samples to show equality with specified items. Owner’s decision is final.

5. Shop Drawings shall be submitted as indicated in the project specification sections.

Shop drawings shall be reviewed for general conformance with the Contract Documents; and approval by the Owner does not relieve the Contractor of complying with the requirements of the Contract Documents.

6. The Contractor shall furnish all labor, materials, equipment, supplies, transportation, utilities, supervision and incidentals for all elements of the work to provide a complete and properly functioning installation in accordance with this Statement of Work, project specifications and project drawings.

7. Contractor shall coordinate all work activities with the Owner prior to beginning any work. All work shall be scheduled in a manner such that ongoing research is not jeopardized.

8. Photographs of the existing greenhouse are provided in the project’s solicitation package. The Contractor may use the photographs as a reference / resource in developing their bid / proposal. The Contractor shall confirm all existing conditions and dimensions prior to proceeding with any project activities
