STATEMENT OF WORK

1.1 DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:

This Statement of Work is for the complete winterization of the

Vehicle Mobility Research Building (VMB) on the CRREL Hanover, New Hampshire campus utilizing the attached specifications and drawings to install insulation, a heating system, and replace the doors.

1.2 PROJECT SCOPE:

Contractor shall furnish all labor, equipment, supplies and materials, and perform all operations necessary to install the insulation, heating system, and doors following in accordance with the "Statement of Work" and Enclosures and attachments.

1.2.1 Fully Installed Insulation in the Mobility Building (Task 1):

Insulation shall be applied to the walls and ceiling of the building. Spray polyurethane foam insulation is required for the walls. Either spray polyurethane foam insulation or rolled insulation may be used for the ceiling – options are requested for both.

Part A. Insulation of the Walls

• Upstairs Walls: Spray polyurethane foam insulation shall be applied to all the upstairs walls. The insulation shall cover the walls fully but shall not protrude beyond the face of the window support frame on all walls. This amounts to approximately 3 inches of insulation over an area of approximately 2238 square feet. Insulation shall be 2# closed cell polyurethane spray foam insulation resulting in a vapor barrier. The materials used must be the non-flammable variety of polyurethane spray foam insulation.

• Downstairs Walls: Spray polyurethane foam insulation shall be applied to the downstairs walls. Insulation shall be applied to downstairs walls above the doors in the south two bays and any other parts of steel sided wall in the south two bays. This amounts to approximately 6 inches of insulation over an area of approximately 95 square feet.

• Sealed Vapor Barrier: All corners, gaps, and seams should be sealed with the insulation resulting in a fully sealed vapor barrier around the walls, to include any seams adjoining the walls to the ceiling (roof).

• Shave Excess: The contractor shall shave excess spray foam insulation (as needed) to ensure the insulation layer does not exceed the face of the beams and face of the window support frame on all walls. The resulting end product

Section 01 81 00 Page 2 should be sufficient to install wall paneling flush against the beams and insulation.

• R-Value Handout and Card: Upon completion of wall insulation, the contractors shall provide a printed handout that explains the insulation performance (the R-value) of the installed product. The insulation card shall also be provided after the job is completed. The card typically includes information such as the manufacturer of the insulation, the R-value of the product, the date of installation, and the contractor’s certification that the installation has been performed in accordance with local code requirements. The card is required to be posted in a prominent location, such as near the electrical panels.

• Cleaning: The contractor is responsible for the area being free of debris, equipment, and other materials used or generated during the contract prior to close-out of the contract. The mobility lab shall be returned to the state of cleanliness found upon arrival. No insulation residue (dust, debris, chunks, etc.) shall be on the floors or in other areas of the workspace. Fiber dust resulting from cutting or installing insulation shall be cleaned from all surfaces exposed.

Part B. Insulation of the Ceiling

• Thickness: The ceiling shall be insulated with an insulation thickness shall not exceed the face of the beams.

This amounts to approximately 9 inches of insulation over an area of approximately 2160 square feet.

• Baffles and the Damper: Install a baffle/damper over the existing vent locations (3 total as outlined in photos).

Insulation shall be applied to the outside of the baffles and the damper on the gable vent to keep heat from escaping.

Insulation shall not cover (clog / close) the required baffle openings or vent openings because this would stop the proper functionality of the ventilation system, but rather the insulation shall seal the baffle structures and damper to reduce heat loss.

• Foam vs Rolled Insulation Options: For the ceiling insulation, please provide two quotes for our consideration:

polyurethane spray foam insulation and rolled insulation.

o Part B-1 (Option): For spray polyurethane foam insulation, we require that 2# closed cell insulation is quoted to provide a vapor barrier. The materials used must be the non-flammable variety of polyurethane spray foam insulation. If urethane spray foam insulation is used, the contractor shall shave excess spray foam insulation (as needed) to ensure the insulation layer does not exceed the face of the beams and face of the window support frame on all walls. In the quote, please indicate the assumed R value for the ceiling after application of this insulation.

Insulation shall be 2# closed cell polyurethane spray foam insulation resulting in a vapor barrier. The

Section 01 81 00 Page 3 materials used must be the non-flammable variety of polyurethane spray foam insulation.

o Part B-2 (Option): For rolled plastic faced insulation, we require that all corners, gaps, and seams should be sealed with the insulation resulting in a fully sealed lid and vapor barrier, to include any seams adjoining the walls to the ceiling. Your bid must also explain how you would secure this insulation to prevent it from sagging or falling over time. Your bid should include the brand and specific type of insulation you plan to use. In the quote, please indicate the assumed R value for the ceiling after application of this insulation.

• Shave Excess: If spray polyurethane foam insulation is selected, the contractor shall shave excess spray foam insulation (as needed) to ensure the insulation layer does not exceed the face of the beams and face of the window support frame on all walls. The resulting end product should be sufficient to install paneling flush against the beams and insulation.

• R-Value Handout and Card: Upon completion of wall insulation, the contractors shall provide a printed handout that explains the insulation performance (the R-value) of the installed product. The insulation card shall also be provided after the job is completed. The card typically includes information such as the manufacturer of the insulation, the R-value of the product, the date of installation, and the contractor’s certification that the installation has been performed in accordance with local code requirements. The card is required to be posted in a prominent location, such as near the electrical panels.

• Cleaning: The contractor is responsible for the area being free of debris, equipment, and other materials used or generated during the contract prior to close-out of the contract. The mobility lab shall be returned to the state of cleanliness found upon arrival. No insulation residue (dust, debris, chunks, etc.) shall be on the floors or in other areas of the workspace. Fiber dust resulting from cutting or installing insulation shall be cleaned from all surfaces exposed.

1.9 CONSTRUCTION DRAWING SETS.

1.9.1 General Building Details. The following general information is provided to assist potential contractors to generate a bid. The building is approximately 26 ft wide by 80 ft long, and 26-28 feet tall at the tallest point along the ridge line, with two stories (upstairs and downstairs). The structure is a Butler built steel building on top of a concrete foundation. It is built into the hillside with the downstairs having all 4 walls constructed of concrete with the exposed wall having 1-2 ft of metal siding above the garage door before reaching the top story. The top floor is entirely metal sided and with a steel frame inside supporting the walls and shallow (2/12) pitch metal gabled roof. The building also includes a concrete-slab on both floors. Water is available in the building. The building includes 8 windows of approximately 44 inches x 33 inches each, with single pane glass. Windows will not be replaced at this time so use existing windows when calculating heat loss for sizing heat and AC. The building has a 120/208V service rated at 200A.

Discounting for continuous loads provides a useable capacity of 160A. Allowing for nominal existing loads reduces the unused capacity to about 140A, 208V, 3-

Phase, which will support an electric heating load of about 50kW. Photographs of the building are provided below, showing the exterior, roof, windows, interior, and subject doors.
