ITEM 1 - DESCRIPTION OF WORK

1.1 Background: The three buildings are part of the Headquarters which was part of the Nike Missile

Site that was constructed from 1954 to 1956. Building 104 and B105 were part of the original Nike Missile base configuration while building B-101 was built around 1980. The Headquarters area has been submitted for approval as a National Register of Historic Places.

1. This project consists of the siding replacement of three buildings: B101 (Ranger Station), B104 (Head Quarters) and B105 (Pump House).

a) Remove all existing siding & exterior Rigid Insulation

b) Evaluate condition of existing OSB and framing. Review with COR to identify areas for replacement. Replace as necessary (For bid purposes, assume 10% of existing OSB and wall framing to be replaced).

c) Identify where existing framing exceeds 16" spacing. Review with COR to review existing conditions and identify area for additional framing. Add additional framing to match existing which decreases spacing to 16" or less (For bid purposes, assume that additional framing is added along 10% of existing walls).

d) Inspect the existing fascia condition on all the three buildings and assume that 10% needs to be replace due to be damage or rotten conditions.

e) The contractor shall inspect all windows on the three buildings and determine which sills and surrounding wood trim require replacement. For windows that are not flush with the wall, this trim sits closer to the window frame and may have a “step” or reveal between the window and the wall surface. Assume twenty-five percent (25%) to be replace including 25% of the total window sills, regardless of condition, to ensure a consistent finished appearance and long-term durability.

Additionally, all window trim located above the newly installed wall siding shall be removed and replaced in full.

f) Remove all exterior mounted conduits or exposed wire & re-install under the new siding to hide, as possible. Coordinate with COR for shutdown periods. See Appendix B for more details. All this work needs to be done by a certified electrician in the state of Indiana.

g) Disconnect & re-install gas plumbing lines and all penetrations and hide under the new siding as possible. Coordinate with COR for shutdown periods. See Appendix B for more details. All this work shall be done by certified plumber.in the state of Indiana

h) Re-install communication cables into conduits under the new siding. Coordinate with COR for shutdown periods. See Appendix B for more details.
