FCC BUTNER - BUT INTERIOR REPAIRS - FLOORING SYSTEM

Page 1 of 9 FCC BUTNER – B&F PROJECT # 26Z1AS5 BUT Interior Repairs I. SPECIFICATIONS: A. INTRODUCTION The Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP), Federal Correctional Complex Butner, Butner, NC intends to make a single award to a responsible entity to provide all necessary equipment, labor, and materials refinish Food Service floors at Federal Correctional Institute I (FCI I) and Low Security Correctional Institute (LSCI), and a section around Food Service Kettles and the Federal Correctional Institute II (FCI II) Old NC Highway 75 Butner, NC 27509. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to obtain permitting, should it be required. FCC Butner is a Federal Correctional Complex consisting of two Medium Security Federal Correctional Institutions (FCI-1 and FCI-2), a Low Security Federal Correctional Institution (LSCI), a Federal Medical Center (FMC) – each with a perimeter fence – and a Minimum-Security Federal Prison Camp (FPC), with no perimeter fence. B. SCOPE OF WORK This project requires the complete installation of a high-performance resinous flooring system within designated kitchen and food service areas at a federal correctional facility. The contractor shall furnish all labor, materials, equipment, supervision, and incidentals necessary to install a seamless, durable, chemical-resistant, and thermally stable flooring system suitable for heavy-use institutional environments. Work will be performed in three separate areas of the facility, each treated as an independent phase. The approximate sizes of these areas are 4,200 square feet for the FCI I Food Service Kitchen Area, 7,800 square feet for the LSCI Food Service Kitchen Area, and 220 square feet for the small repair area located around the kettles in the FCI II Food service Kitchen Area. Where applicable, linear footage of cove base installation is included and shall be installed to match existing conditions. The flooring system to be installed shall be a textured, hand-troweled urethane urea mortar system designed specifically for environments requiring exceptional durability, thermal shock resistance, chemical resistance, and slip resistance. The system shall be dense, liquid-rich, and self-priming, consisting of a four-component cementitious polyurethane mortar engineered for high-impact resistance and long-term performance. The material must be capable of withstanding continuous heavy foot traffic, rolling loads, aggressive cleaning procedures, and exposure to hot water, steam, and rapid temperature changes. The system shall be non-porous and seamless, with no joints or welds, ensuring hygienic performance suitable for food service operations within a correctional environment. The flooring system shall include a mechanically prepared concrete substrate meeting SPS A to SPS C preparation standards or equivalent. Over the prepared substrate, the contractor shall install a hand-troweled urethane urea mortar layer forming the primary structural body of the system. This mortar layer shall be followed by a broadcast application of quartz aggregate to enhance texture, slip resistance, and mechanical bonding. Once cured, the system shall receive a pigmented polyurethane sealer designed to provide chemical resistance, UV stability where applicable, and long-term cleanability. The complete system shall have a nominal finished thickness between 3/16 inch and 1/2 inch (4 to 12 millimeters), depending on the specific needs of each area and the existing substrate conditions. The flooring shall be available in standard colors including brick red, pewter, steel gray, charcoal, sage, reef green, slate, teal blue, and desert tan, with the final color selection made by the Government. Where required, the contractor shall install a seamless cove base integrated into the flooring system. This cove shall be formed either as a radius or a 45-degree can’t, depending on existing conditions and Government direction. The cove material shall be compatible with the urethane urea mortar system and shall provide a -- 1 of 9 -- Page 2 of 9 continuous, sanitary transition between the floor and wall. The cove base shall prevent the accumulation of bacteria, dirt, and moisture beneath wall surfaces and shall support wash-down procedures by containing liquids and preventing seepage under walls. The contractor shall be responsible for all tasks necessary to complete the installation. This includes mobilization, delivery of materials, staging of equipment, and secure storage of materials in a clean, dry, heated indoor space provided by the Government. The contractor shall coordinate with facility personnel for daily check-in and check-out procedures. The contractor shall perform mechanical surface preparation using specialized preparation machines to ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and properly profiled. The contractor shall follow the existing contour of the substrate; no additional pitching or sloping of floors or drains is permitted. Tile removal and thinset or adhesive removal will be performed by BOP Staff. The Government will provide access to facility grounds, secure entry and exit procedures, adequate electrical power for contractor equipment, access to onsite waste disposal, and a heated indoor storage area for materials. The Government will ensure that work areas are free of other trades and personnel during installation and that ambient temperatures are maintained at or above 60 degrees Fahrenheit throughout installation and curing. The contractor shall provide a minimum one-year warranty covering materials, workmanship, and installation defects. The warranty shall include repair of affected areas as the sole remedy. The project will be completed in three phases, one for each building or area, and shall be scheduled to minimize operational disruption and maintain facility security. Payment terms shall follow standard Government invoicing procedures. C. QUALITY ASSURANCE/INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS All installers/technicians shall be qualified and certi…
