Removal of existing coating: The awarded contractor will be required to remove 100% of the existing rubberized floor coating. The removal process must be compliant with all applicable environmental rules and regulations at the time the work is performed. Contractor must dispose of said flooring material and any materials used to remove the floor coating, in a safe and legal manner. The removal process will include blocking all drains that are in the area and the removal done in a manner to minimize airborne particulates. The methods of removal, reclamation and disposal shall be determined by the awarded contractor and included in the submitted proposal. Preparation of floor surface: Once the old coating is removed, any floor imperfections such as cracking or holes shall be properly repaired. All cracks should be ground out and cleaned of any loose material before being filled with a concrete filler to create a smooth finish once coated. The floor should then be prepped and thoroughly cleaned to accept the new coating. All oil stains or other such materials shall be removed per coating manufacturer instructions to not only provide an aesthetically pleasing finished product but also provide the longevity required in this solicitation. Coating application: The new coating should then be applied per manufacturer instructions. The total floor space is 5,080 square feet, included in this scope of work will be approximately 4,080 sf main shop floor, 840 sf office space, 80 sf restroom and 80 sf of an electrical room. The square footages are approximate and the vendor shall perform their own measurements during the mandatory site walk before submitting a bid for this work. Shop use and coating expectations: The shop location is where Turlock City buses are maintained and regular heavy vehicle traffic is expected daily throughout the shop. The Gross Vehicle Weight Ratings (GVWR) of the buses are up to 50,000 pounds with tight steering maneuvers, such as hard left to hard right which are of regular occurrence and should be considered when proposing a floor coating material. The material should also be resistant to fuels, oils and greases that are commonly used when maintaining heavy equipment and in the automotive industry. The coating should allow for the resistance of these types of fluids by not being absorbed into the proposed coating material. The coating should have adequate slip resistance to prevent slips when wet or lightly soiled, however, still able to be properly cleaned. The coating should have a smooth finish so it can be cleaned easily with either a mop or walk behind commercial floor cleaning machine with degreaser chemicals. The proposed floor coating color should be light gray similar to the current floor coating which may be viewed during the mandatory site walk. The gray floor coating color should promote lighting for the ease of finding small parts that may drop to the floor. Samples will need to be submitted or a small section applied and approved before the work is to begin. The coating should carry a ten (10) year, materials and labor warranty, protecting the City from any adhesion issues as well as wear or fading issues.
