The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Pittsburgh District, has a need for a Commercial Construction Contract for Siding Replacement at the Shenango River Lake Ranger Station Building in Transfer, Mercer County, Pennsylvania. The scope of work requires the contractor to furnish all labor, materials, and equipment for the complete replacement of the exterior siding system on the Shenango Ranger Station. This includes the demolition and disposal of the existing cedar siding, insulation, and furring boards. The contractor will be responsible for the temporary relocation and reinstallation of all exterior utilities and fixtures, such as electrical services, lighting, and signage, ensuring essential services are maintained throughout the project. The work also involves installing new prefinished aluminum coverings for all window and door openings, which may require the removal and resetting of existing windows. A new siding system will be installed, consisting of pressure-treated lumber furring strips, rigid insulation, and approximately 2,500 square feet of lap cement fiberboard siding with all associated components. Additionally, the project includes replacing the existing cedar soffit on the porch ceiling with cement board soffit and installing new aluminum gravel stops, flashing, and a new gutter at the porch roof to integrate with the existing EPDM roof.
