Base Bid Item – Visitor Center: Update flooring, replace windows, paint interior walls; 3.1.1. Flooring: The current flooring in all rooms except the multi-purpose room, storage areas, closets, public restrooms, and/or mechanical rooms will be removed and disposed of in accordance with current laws and policies. The offices will be re-carpeted per specs below. The linoleum and associated osb/plywood that the linoleum tile is attached to will be removed to exposed the concrete subfloors. Concrete subfloors in the lobby, corridor, bathrooms, and breakroom will be resurfaced, stained, and polished. Color and patterns of the carpet and concrete staining will be chosen and finalized by the Refuge Manager. See Building Drawings for office sizes and room finish schedule to identify which rooms need to be re-carpeted or have the concrete refinished. 3.1.1.1. Re-carpet Offices: Offices will be re-carpeted with ultra-durable, high traffic, stain-resistant, low pile and low maintenance commercial broadloom carpet. Finished product will be durable, wall to wall, smooth, uniform and seamless in appearance with seams aligned and finished per manufactures recommendations. Where seams are required, they will be placed in lower traffic areas. A seam diagram is requested. Prior to installation of new carpeting, a moisture test will be performed on the concrete. A separate option bid item will be included if sealing of the concrete is required. Carpet adhesives will be low VOC. 3.1.1.2. Stain and Polish Concrete: Finished product will be durable, smooth, and low maintenance with no requirement for repeated applications of waxes, coatings, or sealants. Adjacent floorboards, built-in fixtures, appliances, furniture, and similar will be masked and prepped to ensure protection during the concrete restoration process. Prepped concrete surface will be smooth and clean to meet industry standard necessary to achieve successful densification, staining, and polishing of a concrete floor. This may include the removal of any articles adhered to the concrete, filling of cracks, holes or other surface imperfections, and removal of thresholds. Contractor will determine best methods and products for prepping, cleaning, densifying, staining (acid-based preferred), sealing, and polishing concrete that meet performance standard of a highly durable, low maintenance, polished concrete floor for an industrial office setting. Methods and products must meet industry standards for a commercial office with medium to high foot traffic. Contractors must follow manufactures recommendations for process and product use. Area can be estimated based on Building Drawings. Contractor is responsible for confirming total area of concrete restoration. Photos provided to show examples of targeted finish. 3.1.1.3. Linoleum Removal: The current linoleum flooring is on top of ¼ inch OSB or plywood. Removal of this material to expose concrete subfloors will create ¼+ inch gaps or lips under currently existing wooden baseboards, installations, and some doorway trims and thresholds. Gaps will be filled in the following way: • Wood baseboards: The gap created under current baseboards will be filled with ½ inch round. This will be stained and finished to match the current baseboards. The baseboards consist of redwood with new materials matched accordingly. • Thresholds: A lip will be created between the door thresholds and concrete when the concrete floor is exposed and finished. New ADA compliant thresholds will be installed to cover the transition between two uneven surfaces and the concrete. Thresholds need to be designed for a commercial office setting, be highly durable, easy maintenance, and match materials found in the office. The thresholds must not exceed a height which would impede door function or cause a trip hazard. • Doorframes: The doorframes that are along the hallway corridors and lobby will be left with a gap when the concrete floors are exposed. Contractor is responsible for coming up with a solution that will fill the gaps in a uniform, aesthetically acceptable manner. This could include fabricating thresholds to fill these spaces, color match caulking, molds, fit casing, and/or extension of the redwood baseboards. Final solution will be approved by Refuge Manager or technical coordinator. • Vinyl baseboards: The vinyl baseboards under installations, installed cabinetry (lobby and breakroom), and in the staff bathrooms will be replaced with like material once concrete floors have been finished. This new material should completely fill the gap between the concrete floors and the bottom on the installations or cabinetry. For the restrooms, the material should be wide enough to cover any wall marks left by removing the old vinyl baseboards or walls will need to be patched, sanded and textured to match existing walls to ensure a uniform appearance. The width will depend on the location of the replacement. Old materials may be reused if wide enough, in reusable condition, and can blend with new materials. • Industry standards will be adhered to for carpentry work in terms of construction, fabrication, and patching to ensure seamless appearance of new to old materials. New materials will be matched to mirror materials that are already found and used within the building. Contractor will consult with Refuge Manager or Technical Coordinator when matches cannot be found. 3.1.1.4. Add Wood Baseboards: The vinyl wall baseboards found in corridors and breakroom will be removed and replaced to match the other wooden baseboards found in the lobby.
