This Scope of Work details a federal project to install roof insulation at Building #93 (Vehicle Maintenance Shop) at Coast Guard Base Elizabeth City, North Carolina. The project aims to improve thermal performance, control condensation, and protect the existing roof system in a facility that services ground vehicles, fuel trucks, and fire trucks. The selected contractor must provide all labor, transportation, materials, and supervision required to prep surfaces and apply approximately 4,928 square feet of three-inch, closed-cell spray foam insulation (minimum R-20.0 rating) paired with a "No Burn" ignition barrier. To prevent damage from overspray, the contractor is required to cover all non-movable shop equipment. Key administrative and operational requirements include compliance with Davis-Bacon Act wage rates, strict adherence to environmental regulations (including wastewater discharge limits, storm drain protection, and chemical pre-approvals), and robust site safety protocols such as "Hot Work" permitting. Additionally, the contractor must coordinate base access, conduct pre-arranged site visits, clean the work area daily, and provide a one-year warranty on workmanship and materials. The project timeline dictates that submittals—including product data sheets and a project schedule—be delivered within 10 workdays of contract award. Once approved, the contractor must mobilize within 10 workdays and complete all physical work within 30 workdays. Final payment is contingent upon COR inspection, testing, and acceptance of all deliverables.
