The Asset Protection Project encompasses barrier walls, berms, landscaping, hardscape, flood gates, underground utility reconfiguration, and pump systems designed to protect County assets from seasonal stormwater damage.

Dry film thickness specifications range from 4.0 to 36.0 mils depending on the coating system. Work encompasses interior and exterior exposed surfaces both above and below grade on structural steel, galvanized steel, concrete, masonry, and ferrous metals. Field painters must demonstrate at least six months of employment history with the contractor. Application is restricted to temperatures above 50 degrees Fahrenheit with surface temperature at minimum 5 degrees above dew point and relative humidity below eighty-five percent. Contractors must provide touch-up materials (minimum one gallon of each topcoat color) and submit notarized disposal statements confirming EPA-compliant hazardous-materials handling.

The project timeline spans April 2, 2026 through May 21, 2027, with substantial completion targeted for April 12, 2027, followed by FEMA closeout through May 21, 2027.
