Paragraph 10.1 was revised in the SOW indicating new requirements. There is no survey available for the flooring and cove base. Contractor shall be responsible for Hazardous Building Materials [Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) and Lead Based Paint (LBP)] sampling and testing of the materials that will be disturbed during this project.

2. Do we assume asbestos abatement and monitoring in our proposal?

STATEMENT OF WORK

SCOPE OF WORK

MWR050149P REPLACE FLOOR FOR BASKETBALL COURT AT

Building 1316

White Sands Missile Range, NM August 20, 2019

Information contained in this document regarding commercial products or firms may not be used for advertising or promotional purposes and is not an endorsement of any product or firm by the Directorate of Public Works, White Sands Missile Range or the U.S. Army.

Part 1- Project Description and Location

1.1 General Description of Work.

All work shall comply with State, local and Federal laws and regulations, industry and construction codes and standards, manufacturer’s specifications and recommendations, and all contract special provisions, terms and conditions. The Contractor shall be responsible for obtaining all required licenses and permits to perform construction work on a Federal installation, and be properly bonded and insured in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) requirements. The intent of the contract is to provide for the construction and completion of the work described. The precise details of performing the work are not stipulated except as considered essential for the successful completion of the work. The Contractor shall furnish all labor, material, equipment, tools, transportation, and supplies necessary to complete the work according to the contract.

The project shall consist of interior work for the removal of the existing wood floor and the installation of a new resilient athletic floor complete with basketball and volleyball court markings. Anchors for two volleyball net stanchions shall remain, approximately seven will be removed. Rough overall dimension of gym is 99’ 7” by 65’ 6” less two 11’ x 6’ 6” doorways on north side – approximately 6,380 SF net (709 SY). Perimeter approximately 330 LF.

The existing floor in the multi-purpose room has reached the end of its useful life and will be replaced with a resilient floor in accordance with UFC 4-740-06 guidance. Note: the 10 ft minimum safety distance between out of bounds line and wall is not attainable, but facility POC states that the facility is grandfathered in due to age. User provided document (Department of Army Standard Design Package, Youth Centers for Middle School Youth and Teens, June 2017) specifically calls for Connor’s 7+2 Elastic-plus flooring or equivalent. Basis for this SOW is the Connor’s 7+2 Elastic-plus flooring with a rubber base.

Provide a team of licensed/certified workers to remove/dispose of existing maple wood gym floor and install new seamless pour Connors ElastiPlus flooring system or equivalent gym floor to industry standards.

Contractor shall provide professional painters to paint 1 set each of basketball court and volleyball games lines on new synthetic floor. Remove/dispose of existing maple gym floor. Complete Concrete moisture vapor emission and ph Testing. Ensure flatness and floor levelness. High spots shall be ground down and low spots filled with approved leveling compound. Install appropriate moister barrier on sub floor meeting required industry standards. Flooring installation shall not begin until moisture vapor emissions, pH level, and levelness of concrete subfloors have been met. Replace old maple floor with new solid pour polyurethane flooring per manufactures specifications. Add/replace all thresholds/ramping/wall base and cover base for all doors leading into/out of the gym. Ensure one set of volleyball net pole ground inserts are present. Paint one set of basketball game lines blue and one set of volleyball game lines red.

Current wood gym floor at the School Age Care facility is past the life expectancy of the floor and is in deteriorating condition that is beginning to pose possible safety concerns.

Floor condition will continue to worsen and cause increased concerns for safety. Places in the floor are already separating, boards are cracking, pieces of boards are breaking off and coming up, heads of nails are beginning to be visible. If the gym floor is not replaced the concern for the safety of our children and youth could result in the closure of the gym at the facility taking away a hugely popular program area. The closure of this program area would also be detrimental to our youth sports and fitness programs.

1.2 Project Location.

Work is located at 1316, White Sands Missile Range (WSMR), New Mexico in Dona Ana.

1.3 Contract Discrepancies.

The Contractor shall become thoroughly familiar with the existing conditions, analyze the components of the project, take the necessary equipment, and make any necessary calculations to achieve the project requested. The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) immediately of any errors, omissions, and other discrepancies in contract documents for all work covered in this Scope of Work (SOW).

1.4 Period of Performance (POP).

This meeting serves to answer any questions from the Contractor and to discuss building issues such as storage, security, access, working hours, etc. The Contractor shall take minutes of the meetings and submit the minutes to the COR via the Contract Daily Report (see Section 5.2) within five (5) days.

1.6 Progress Meetings.

The Contractor’s project manager and superintendent shall attend any progress meetings held by the government on a scheduled or unscheduled basis (with 48 hour notice), or on dates determined by the government. This meeting is for the Contractor to discuss their current progress, to discuss schedule, and to discuss and resolve any other project related issues. The Contractor shall take minutes of the meetings and submit the minutes to the COR via the Contract Daily Report (see Section 5.2) within five (5) days.
