Replace Epoxy Floor Coating

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Agricultural Research Service (ARS) has a requirement to Replace Epoxy Floor Coating located at Bowling Green, KY.

PROJECT SCOPE:  The contractor shall provide all necessary labor, parts, and materials to Replace Epoxy Floor Coating.

The existing epoxy floor coating is failing and will require full removal leaving the concrete ready to receive new welded-seam sheet flooring system with integral base suitable for use in a BSL-2 lab environment, per CDC surfaces requirements. Epoxy removal shall be accomplished by mechanical means and methods as no chemical/solvent methods will be allowed. Note that Storage Room 119 may receive Vinyl Composition Tile (VCT) and rubber cove base--see Option 1 for additional information.
