RFP-23-060 - OEM and Emergency Medical Services Building Exterior Painting

El Paso County is soliciting responses from qualified Contractors to furnish all materials and labor as necessary to strip, repaint, and seal the Office of Emergency Management and Emergency Management Services (EMS) Building for El Paso County Facilities and Strategic Infrastructure. Work is anticipated to be completed between July 1, 2023 and December 1, 2023.

The exterior of the EMS Building needs repainting due to paint failure and fading. There are multiple spots of severe degradation that leaves the Concrete Masonry Unit (CMU) block in danger of failing and/or damage. The County has been battling water intrusion through the CMU block and damages to the interior drywall. The County has tracked the source of the water intrusion to paint failure. The County used a Sika 552W product on a 25’ x 25’ surface test area having water intrusion issues. The Sika 552W product has prevented further water intrusion in that test area.
