4.0. PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS. The U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command, Chemical Biological Center (CCDC CBC) requires the floor and walls of the CTF sump area and secondary holding tank area, as well as the floors in select laboratories and storage rooms to be stripped of old epoxy surface and recoated with an epoxy that is resistant to hazardous and aggressive chemicals including organic solvents, strong acids (such as hydrochloric and sulfuric), strong bases (such as 20% sodium hydroxide solution), and oxidizing/bleach (such as 10% Sodium Hypochlorite solution). The new chemical-resistant epoxy coating shall be applied in two coats of at least 10 mils thick each. The coating shall be sufficiently resilient that it will be undamaged by the traffic of heavy rolling carts or forklifts up to 10,000lbs. The coating shall be sufficiently adhered to the concrete substrate that if a scratch, crack, or chip occurs, the coating will not further flake off in sheets or cracks spread. Coatings without solvents or VOCs are preferred. The contractor shall utilize a system to capture the dust generated during stripping and shall dispose of project waste and debris. The Chemical Transfer Facility is located in Building E3832 on the Edgewood Area of Aberdeen Proving Ground. Subject to the availability of Government escorts, the vendor may be able to work in more than one room at a time. In order to not disrupt operations in the CTF, the vendor cannot, however, strip and prepare all rooms at once prior to applying epoxy.

The CTF sump area has approximately 400 square foot of area needing to be repaired and recoated. The chemical waste holding tank area has approximately 2,000 square foot of area needing to be repaired and recoated. Additional Laboratories and Storage Rooms are approximately 400 1,500 square feet needing to be repaired and recoated. “Repair” refers to removal of old epoxy and preparation of concrete substrate for new epoxy adhesion (to include some filling of uneven surfaces). Note in particular that the CTF sump is below-grade and requires “Confined Space entry”.
