SCOPE OF PROJECT
The purpose of this project is to repair six (6) first-generation PAS doors located within the Zulu Loop area.
These doors exhibit significant wear on their main hinges, internal bearings, seals, and associated wear
components. The Contractor shall perform all necessary repairs, replacements, adjustments, and testing
to restore full operational functionality.
The work includes, but is not limited to:
removal and reinstallation of each door leaf
complete refurbishment of upper and lower hinges
replacement of bearings, seals, rings, and wear components
replacement of bearing housings and main pivot pins
refurbishment of spring rollers and locking devices
alignment of each door leaf
functional testing with the end user
Upon completion of the work, each door shall be fully operable by human force only, without mechanical
assistance. The opening and closing sequence shall be smooth, continuous, and free of abnormal
resistance. All door leaves shall be perfectly aligned, ensuring proper engagement of locking devices,
lower wipers, and safety rollers. Attachment 01 shows pictures and lesson learned for the pilot project
ASHE 22 1041 “Repair Doors in Z2”. Attachment 02 contains sample “As-Built” carpentry shop drawings
related to the Pilot Project ASHE 22 1041 “Repair Doors in Z2”. These drawings are not binding and are
provided only as a reference model. Although reference drawings and dimensional models of the
replacement components are provided, the Contractor remains fully and solely responsible for verifying
all actual dimensions of the components to be removed, refurbished, reconstructed, and reinstalled.
The Contractor shall ensure that every component conforms to the real in situ conditions and
guarantees the correct and safe operation of the doors. Any discrepancies, dimensional deviations, or
required adjustments shall be identified and resolved by the Contractor at no additional cost to the
Government.
Because all six PAS units were originally handcrafted, each door assembly presents dimensional variations.
The Z-2 drawings are provided as a baseline for developing the required “As-Built” drawings for the
remaining six PAS units.
At the end of the project, the Contractor shall provide complete carpentry shop drawings (AutoCAD DWG
and PDF), including assembly drawings, ballooning, tolerances, torque values, lubrication specifications,
and detailed drawings of all non-commercial components.
The Contractor shall also provide a complete O&M Manual with a clear Maintenance Plan, ensuring that
preventive maintenance (lubrication, inspections, alignment checks) can be performed without cranes or
special lifting devices to allow man-size stand-up maintenance.

AC1 - 2. CONSTRUCTION AREA SCREENING
All construction sites and material storage areas shall be securely fenced around the entire perimeter
within an area defined by the Contracting Officer (CO). Bilingual signs, "VIETATO L'INGRESSO - LAVORI IN
CORSO / WORK AREA - NO ENTRY" shall be placed at the work area entry and along each side of the
fencing. Fence type, height, and screening color should also be specified by Base Civil Engineering (BCE).
Fencing shall be completely secured at top and bottom to prevent access. Fences shall be screened with
opaque screening material to prevent visibility inside the fenced area. Fences and screens shall be
adequately staked and/or anchored to prevent blowing over during high wind conditions. Contractor shall
not start installation of area screening until approved, in writing, by Contracting Officer (C.O.). Contractor
shall submit photos or samples of the screening material for approval by C.O. The Contractor shall replace
or repair in a timely manner, as determined by C.O., all fences and screening sections that have damage
or develop unsightly rips or holes. It is strictly forbidden to install advertisement signs and/or logos
including contractors along the construction site fence. At the end of the work or when exterior work
requires it, temporary fencing shall be removed. Night warning lights shall be installed to illuminate the
work area, from sunset to dawn.
AC1 - 3. PROJECT SIGN
The Contractor shall furnish a project sign on site in accordance with Section 01101. The sign shall be
made of a durable material and maintained in good condition. Lettering is to be white gloss, exterior-type
enamel. The sign and posts shall be given one prime coat and two finish coats of dark brown gloss exterior
enamel paint. The sign shall be erected at the designated location and shall be maintained in good
condition by the Contractor until completion of the contract. The sign shall remain the property of the
Contractor and shall be removed from the site upon final inspection and acceptance of the facility.
Contractor identification and logo shall be allowed only on…
