STATIC DISPLAY AIRCRAFT PAINTING PAINTING

This Statement of Work (SOW) outlines the federal government’s requirement for a contractor to clean, repair, and paint three static display museum aircraft at Volk Field Air National Guard Base (ANGB) in Camp Douglas, Wisconsin. The targeted aircraft include one P-51-72989 and two F-102 aircraft (61273 and 62353). The expected period of performance is 150 days after contract award. The contractor must restore the aircraft to a "museum-quality" standard, which involves removing corrosion, repairing structural dents, sealing canopies/intakes to prevent water and pest intrusion, and applying approved paint types and colors. Additionally, the contractor is responsible for bird-proofing, polishing unpainted areas, and replacing all markings and stencils in accordance with Air Force Technical Orders. Work must be performed Monday through Friday, from 0730 to 1630. The contractor is responsible for providing safety equipment, maintaining Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and managing hazardous chemicals through the AF3952 authorization process. All waste disposal, site cleanup, and liability for any overspray or landscape damage reside solely with the contractor. Furthermore, contractor personnel must adhere to base security, background check procedures, and complete Antiterrorism Awareness Level I Training within 30 days of starting. Performance will be evaluated against specific quality thresholds, including a required three-year lifespan for the applied finishes.

This document is a federal Service Contract Act (SCA) Wage Determination (No. 2015-4929, Revision 31, dated May 13, 2026) issued by the U.S. Department of Labor for the state of Wisconsin. It establishes the minimum hourly wages and fringe benefits required for various labor categories operating in the Wisconsin counties of Barron, Buffalo, Clark, Crawford, Dunn, Jackson, Juneau, Monroe, Pepin, and Trempealeau. The determination lists standardized wage rates across multiple occupational families, including administrative support, automotive service, food preparation, health, information technology, mechanics, and transportation. It outlines mandatory health and welfare fringe benefits, specifying $5.55 per hour (or $5.09 per hour for contracts covered by Executive Order 13706, which governs paid sick leave). Additionally, it mandates a minimum of eleven paid federal holidays and a vacation schedule of two to four weeks based on an employee's length of service. The document details special provisions such as night and Sunday differentials for air traffic controllers and weather observers, hazardous pay differentials (4% to 8%) for working with ordnance or explosives, and uniform allowance reimbursement guidelines ($3.35 per week). Finally, it explains the Standard Form 1444 (SF-1444) conformance process, which contractors must use to establish equitable wage rates and job classifications for any necessary labor categories not explicitly listed in the determination.
