Contact Susie Kramer, Contract Specialist, at 208-378-5156, or by e-mail to skramer@pn.usbr.gov if you have any questions regarding this project. SCOPE OF WORK The purpose of this contract is to repair the existing roof of the Third Powerplant building; to reliably provide a structure free of roof leaks to protect the facilities of the Third Powerplant, and to afford a space where Reclamation may conduct the operation and maintenance of the Third Powerplant with low initial cost and with minimal roof maintenance requirements. In addition, for the purpose of historic preservation, the proposed roof should create the same general appearance which the building's roof had when it was built: a broad, uniform, featureless, light gray colored plane. The Third Powerplant is a cast-in-place concrete structure with a precast tee beam roof approximately 85 feet above the adjacent grade, as shown on the drawings and photographs in the appendix. The Third Powerplant is entirely within an area where access is restricted for security purposes. The existing roof of the Third Powerplant is a spray-on rigid urethane foam insulation layer covered with an impervious spray-on silicone rubber coating. The roof is approximately 104 feet wide by 1,090 feet long and is broken into ten approximately square areas by expansion joints. The expansion joints, flashings, details at roof drains, and details at exhaust hoods are shown on the drawings in the appendix. The original roof is approximately 30 years old. It has been patch repaired in many places. Approximately 35,000 square feet at the south end of the roof was repaired and re-coated under contract in 1997, as shown in the photographs in Exhibits 1 and 2. Previous roof repairs are described in the appendix. Many areas of the roof exhibit damage which includes blisters in the silicone coating at the top surface of the roof and cavities formed inside the urethane foam insulation. We believe that the blisters and cavities are caused by moisture penetration and by heat from the sun. Once blisters form, additional holes are caused by birds that peck at the loose, blistered, silicone coating. We believe that the urethane foam insulation material has been damaged on approximately 10% of the area of the roof, based on a visual estimate. We anticipate that repair of this roof will require at minimum, repair or replacement of the urethane foam insulation on 10% of the area of the entire roof (approximately 11,400 square feet) and repair or replacement of 100% of the impervious silicone rubber coating on the entire roof (approximately 114,000 square feet). A twenty year warranty of the performance of the roof from both the installer and the manufacturer of the new roofing materials is desirable, although lesser warranties may be considered. Much of the maintenance which Reclamation has performed on the existing roof is associated with the mechanism of blistering of the roof surface and with bird attack on the roof system. It is desirable that the proposed roofing systems mitigate or eliminate damage by these mechanisms. Access to the roof is limited. The contractor may use the stairs at the south end of the Third Powerplant for personnel access to the roof. The contractor will be assigned a staging area on the north side of the Third Powerplant at grade, adjacent to the Third Powerplant building. All materials placed on the roof and all materials removed from the roof will be moved by crane or other suitable means directly into and out of the contractor's staging area. The location of the contractor's staging area and the location of parking spaces adjacent to the Third Powerplant south stairs are shown on a marked print dated 1/8/2007 of Drawing No. 1222-D-316. All work performed under this contract shall conform with the requirements of the Reclamation Safety and Health Standards, Revised 2002, published by the United States Department of the Interior - Bureau of Reclamation, Safety and Occupational Health Office, Denver, Colorado. These standards are consistent with the health and safety standards prevalent in industry, The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, Public Law 91-596, and Department of the Interior regulations. The RSHS can be viewed at www.usbr.gov/ssle/safety/RSHS/rshs.html Structural design data is shown in the drawings in the appendix. The roofing design shall assure sufficient slope to drain to prevent ponding. The total weight of all roofing materials which remain on the roof after construction is complete shall not exceed 3 psf. Static loads on the roof during construction shall not exceed 30 psf live load. On isolated small areas of the roof, not to exceed 12 square feet, static loads may exceed 30 psf, not to exceed 100 psf. Proposed equipment loads will be evaluated in Phase 2. The allowable load limits for dynamic loads will be less than allowable static load limits to account for impact and vibration. On February 13, 2007, before Phase One proposals are due, there will be an informational site visit to assess the site and determine the general condition of the roof. The contractors selected to participate in Phase Two may schedule another site visit, if necessary, to more specifically evaluate the roof to determine the extent of damage to the existing roof system and determine the quantities of urethane foam insulation material to be repaired or replaced, and other repairs if necessary. Each of the Phase One successful offerors (who are eligible to submit a Phase Two proposal) shall submit a 30% level design with their Phase Two proposal. At the 30% design level, designs are not required to include repetitive drawing details or complete descriptions of salient characteristics and standard association designations and parameters of specified materials. The 30% design is also not required to show measurements that can be obtained later in the design process. However, the 30% design needs to convey the intent of the design to the Government in enough detail to enable the Government to infer what the content of the 100% design will be, and to evaluate it in accordance with the Phase Two evaluation factors. Upon award of a contract, the 100% level design shall fully describe what materials will be installed (either by standard association designations or by trade name with salient characteristics listed), how all materials will be installed at all locations on the roof, and how the contractor's quality control program for this job will be conducted. The 100% design shall include detailed drawings and may include written specifications. Drawings required for Phase Two designs shall be made by computer using Autocad software in any of the following versions: 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006. Hand-drawn drawings are not permitted. Drawings will be made in the contractor's customary style and format, and shall be no smaller than 11" x 17". Drawings shall have unique drawing numbers or other identifiers and shall be dated. One original of each drawing submitted shall be signed by the contractor signifying that it is approved for use. The seal and signature of a Professional Engineer or Registered Architect is not required. Drawings shall include plans of the roof showing the locations where materials will be installed, certain physical information critical to material installation (minimum slope, for example), and typical installation sections and details. Drawings at 100% design level shall be sufficiently detailed to show how all materials will be installed at all locations on the roof. At the end of the awarded contract, after all other work is complete, the contractor shall create a set of final as-built drawings showing how all materials were actually installed, and shall provide the as-built drawings to the Government in both hard copy and in electronic files in DWG format.
