FCC BUTNER PRECAST JOINT REPLACEMENT FMC

The FCC Butner Precast Joint Replacement FMC project involves extensive joint sealant replacement and related works. Contractors are not required to have a temporary office but one can be provided. Entry and exit procedures involve security screenings, tool inventory, and escorts, taking approximately 30 minutes each initially. Background checks are extensive, requiring US citizenship or valid green cards, fingerprinting, and a 4-hour orientation. The government reserves the right to rerun background checks and conduct credit checks. Subcontractors on-site for over 90 days require a full background check. The project has an anticipated timeframe of 140 calendar days, with modifications for excessive inclement weather. Dumpsters with locking tops are permitted on-site at BOP's discretion but must remain in the Sallyport for 24 hours before removal. Locked toolboxes may be authorized to stay overnight, requiring double locks and daily inventory. The contractor is responsible for necessary testing and inspections. Fog Watch prohibits workers from the project area. Escorts must maintain a direct line of sight, and working at two locations is contingent on daily staffing. Joint sealant replacement is required for all penetrations in precast wall panels, affected roof scuppers, and where flashing is affected. It is not required at hollow metal window openings, where sidewalks meet buildings, or exterior CMU bathrooms. The contractor must remove steel window guards but is not responsible for razor wire. The project includes vertical and horizontal joint sealant replacement and work at the Oncology building's expansion joints. Removal and replacement of Mental Health courtyard slowdown fences are permitted.
