The document outlines the requirements for RFQ 19FJ6025Q0001 regarding the painting and maintenance of the perimeter wall at the Chief of Mission’s Residence, noted in Addendum No. 001 dated March 18, 2025. It specifies three main tasks: First, contractors must pressure wash the internal surface of the color bond cladding on the East and South sections of the boundary fence, which should be itemized separately. Second, galvanized ducting covers must be installed to enclose surface conduits along the boundary wall, with the requirement that these covers be painted to match the wall color and include shop drawings for installation. Lastly, security posts made of galvanized pipes should be embedded by 200mm at the top of the boundary fence to enhance security features. This document represents a part of a federal request for proposals intended to maintain the residence's structural and aesthetic integrity while ensuring safety compliance.
