- Description
- The U.S. Department of Commerce, National Ocean Service (NOS), Center for Coastal Environmental Health and Biomolecular Research (CCEHBR) Cooperative Oxford Laboratory located at 904 South Morris Street, Oxford, MD 21654 plans to acquire a contractor capable of the repair and replacement of damaged, lost and faulty insulation in the ceilings of its main building. This building is approximately 13,500 sq. ft. and was constructed in 1960 with an extensive renovation and addition in 1998. The estimated size of this project is less than $10,000.00. DESCRIPTION: The contractor shall provide and install r-30 fiberglass insulation in all areas of the main building that require it for optimal energy and heat preservation. The insulation shall be installed so that it is NEAT and permanent and provides the maximum thermal protection possible. Site Visit The contractor shall visit the site and determine all existing conditions affecting the work in this request. It is the contractor's responsibility to confirm existing conditions. Failure to determine existing conditions will not be considered a basis for the granting of additional compensation. SITE ADDRESS: 904 South Morris Street, Oxford, MD 21654. A site visit will be held on TBD at 10:00 am and will convene in the lobby of the main building, Center for Coastal Environmental, Health and Biomolecular Research, Cooperative Oxford Laboratory. Technical Contact is Tom Brush 410-226-5193. Potential contractors will have the opportunity to examine the insulation in its current state to determine the amount of materials and time required to complete the job and fulfill all contract requirements. This site visit will allow offerors (Contractors) to become familiar with site constraints, building layout and utility conditions. The site visit is for observance only, allowing the contractor to determine the local area and existing building conditions. Any and all questions will be addressed to the Contracting Officer and will be answered in the form of an addendum to insure all information is distributed the same and to all "bidders." Scope Upon completion of the contract the main building will have a ceiling that is as energy efficient as possible. Great care shall be taken to ensure that the insulation is installed properly according to the manufacturers recommended installation guidelines. There will be no unnecessary gaps or voids in the installation and all penetrations shall be properly sealed. Installation shall be neat and clean, with attention given to both presentation and functionality of the insulation. Task The contractor shall provide all necessary personnel, equipment, and materials to perform work within the Scope described above in order to meet contract requirements. This shall include but is not limited to r-30 fiberglass insulation with a vapor barrier, all materials required to properly secure the insulation in place, and incidental materials required to seal penetrations and any other materials required to complete the job in the most efficient and workmanlike manner possible. All materials must be suitable for prolonged exposure in hot attic environment. The contractor shall visibly inspect the condition of the existing insulation in every room of the main building to determine the extent of the repairs necessary. This can be accomplished by the removal of ceiling tiles or through attic access. The contractor will then conduct repairs to replace missing or damaged insulation. All insulation in the main building shall be secured so that it provides maximum effectiveness and longevity. This may be accomplished with a combination of wire, staples, and other methods deemed appropriate by both the contractor and industry standards. Appropriate measures must be taken to ensure minimal interruption of work in both office and laboratory areas. These measures shall include but are not limited to; staging the work by preparing the materials and labor to minimize time spent in each individual room, using painter's plastic, masking, tape, etc. to minimize or eliminate issues related to dust. Any ceiling tiles that are removed in the process of the work shall be replaced securely so that there are no gaps. If tiles are damaged in the course of the work they shall be replaced with new matching Armstrong tiles at the expense of the contractor. Any damage to the ceiling grid will be the responsibility of the contractor. There are three attic access points in the building. The contractor shall devise and construct a means for maintaining the integrity of the insulation in these areas so that when complete these access points will be functional and not compromise the integrity of the insulation envelope. The old insulation that is removed and any other waste created during the work shall be disposed of properly in accordance with all laws and regulations and the NCCOS EMS by the contractor at his expense.
