This federal solicitation (RFQ#19FR6326Q0092) outlines the Statement of Work for replacing the 350-square-meter roof at the U.S. Consulate in Marseille, France. Issued by the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations, the project aims to restore structural integrity while preserving the building's historical and architectural character. The selected contractor must provide all labor, materials, and equipment to remove the degraded existing roof and install new treated rafters, an under-roof membrane, corrugated fiber cement sheets, canal tiles, zinc gutters, flashings, and a new skylight. Additionally, the contractor will reinstall the electrical earthing cable and supply permanent roof safety equipment. Due to the site's unique urban constraints, the contractor must coordinate scaffolding on both the private garden side and the narrow public right-of-way of Rue Armény. This includes securing necessary permits from the City of Marseille, managing debris removal via chutes, and installing an alarm system on the scaffolding. To prevent water damage during staged construction, the contractor must implement a comprehensive weather protection plan. Strict adherence to safety and regulatory standards is required, including the submission of a bilingual Safety and Health Environmental Management Plan (PPSPS) and proof of valid French Qualibat certifications. Work hours are restricted to weekdays with mandatory escort coordination. The contractor must also provide comprehensive warranties under French civil law, including a 10-year structural guarantee (Garantie Décennale), alongside final as-built documentation.
