PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

BUILDING 102 Warehouse Shelving Replacement

6 February 2019 C.1 Project Overview

C.1.1 Project Location: The project for the warehouse shelving replacement, is located on Building 102 at the Army Research Laboratory (ARL), Adelphi Laboratory Center (ALC), Adelphi, MD 20783.

C.1.2 Comply with UFC 1-200-01, General Building Requirements. Unified Facility Criteria (UFC) 1-200-01 provides applicability of model building codes and government unique criteria for typical design disciplines and building systems, as well as for accessibility, antiterrorism, security, high performance and sustainability requirements, and safety. Use this Warehouse Facility Criteria in addition to UFC 1-200-01 and the UFCs and government criteria referenced therein. The demolition and renovation is located specifically in building 102.

C.1.3 General Purpose Warehouse includes, conditioned, semi-conditioned, and unconditioned types, with and without overhead crane capability. The general purpose warehouse provides space for bulk and bin storage, aisle space, receiving and shipping space, packing and crating space, and office and toilet space. The shelving shall prevent industrial pallet racks units from overturning due to uplifting forces and to comply with OSHA regulations and recommendations.

Shelving is used for economical storage of small hand stackable items which are not suited to mechanized handling and storage due to their handling characteristics, activity, or quantity. Shelving is most often used for small parts storage in order picking systems and is suitable for either manual or mechanized operations.

Shelving is generally available in standard unit heights of 85 to 87 inches (2160 millimeter ((mm)) to 2210mm) and a unit width of 36 inches (914mm). Typical depths are 12 inches (304mm), 18 inches (457mm), and 24 inches (609mm). The range of widths varies from 24 to 48 (609mm to 1220mm) inches while the depth ranges from 9 to 36 inches (228mm to 914mm). Shelf uprights are available in either beaded post or angle post configurations.

Shelving is available in either open or closed design. Closed design includes solid back and side panels which provide load containment and minimize possible accumulation of unwanted dust and dirt. Open shelving is less expensive and utilizes sway braces to provide rigidity.

C.2.3 The Contractor shall remove and dispose of all nuts, bolts, floor fasteners, metal legs and bracing from the warehouse.

C.2.4 The Contractor shall sweep and wet mop the concrete floor after all shelving units are disassembled and removed from the project area.
