The cost estimate for this project is $100,000. Bids are due by June 13.
Scope of Work
The work includes the cleaning, preparation and coating of four existing structures. The awarded contractor is required to prepare and paint all standing seam-metal roofing in addition to scraping and painting all double-hung windows, exterior doors, trim, wood clapboard, wooden entry steps and porches.
When preparing wood and metal surfaces, the contractor is to properly wash, rinse and dry before scraping or caulking. Methods of cleaning need to follow preservation briefs provided by the National Park Service. Power washing is strictly prohibited on this project. Once metal surfaces have been cleaned, the contractor is to scrape, sweep and properly dispose of all metal-roof areas. Following the scraping of these surfaces, the contractor is required to clean the metal a second time with an oil and grease emulsifier prior to coating.
When coating the metal surfaces specified, the contractor is to first apply one coat of an acrylic primer to all bare metals and one coat of a universal primer to all rusted or spot-primed areas. Following the priming applications, all metal surfaces are to receive two coats of a high-performance acrylic gloss system.
