Greenhouse Siding Repairs

This Statement of Work outlines a project to repair the outside covering of greenhouses (Buildings 07 and 17) by removing existing stucco, foam, and wire mesh and replacing them with new steel siding. The project involves demolishing approximately 460 linear feet by 3 feet high of existing exterior material, disposing of it, and installing new commercial-grade 26-gauge steel siding that matches the existing aesthetic. Additionally, the contractor must replace approximately 150 linear feet of 1 1/2-inch PVC drainage pipe, reattach lightning rod cables, and ensure water spigots remain accessible. A mandatory site visit on June 3, 2026, at 8:00 AM CDT is required for all interested contractors to be eligible to submit a proposal. The project has a deliverable schedule of 300 days or earlier after contract acceptance for both the demolition and installation phases. Contractors must provide a one-year warranty on the new covering and ensure all personnel have a U.S. photo ID.
