The contractor shall employ a labor force with the appropriate skills and/or certifications to ensure quality corrosion prevention and repair program for the 9th MXS, operating at Beale AFB, CA. Contractor will supply all required equipment to meet the needs of the contract to include a temporary facility to accomplish contracted work. All mobilization, demobilization setup and tear down of the temporary paint booth and/or blasting booths that should include all utilities i.e. water, generator (electricity), etc. will be provided and maintained by the contractor. The facility must meet all base requirements for type of work being performed. This includes media or water blasting equipment to remove paint coatings to bare metal as required by tech data or upon request of owning work center. Rust and corrosion will be removed without hindering structural integrity of equipment. Owning work center and equipment specialists will be contacted to ensure corrosion removal limits will not degrade or render the equipment unsafe or unserviceable before major metal work on the equipment is accomplished. Contractor will restore corroded equipment back to manufactures specifications through metal repair and rework or fiberglass and plastic structures to the full extent possible without removing anything from the Support Equipment (SE). All components will be removed by owning work centers. Restore equipment’s coatings in accordance with equipment applicable technical directives. Equipment requiring full coating removal will be identified before work is to begin. Equipment requiring removal of entire protective coating to bare metal will be painted with zinc rich primer MIL-PRF-26915 and MIL-P-53030 and top coated as outlined in technical data for steel substrates only. Scuff sand and over coat process may be conducted based on severity of corrosion and paint condition provided bare metal spots are primed with MIL-PRF 23377 primer and a tie-coat coating is used on the entire piece of equipment followed by the topcoat as outline in required technical orders. All coatings will be applied with HVLP spray equipment unless authorized other means by owning work center. Tech Order requirements for coating thickness will be required for field level repair and repaint. Contractor will work with owning work centers to develop a plan to ensure the required amount of equipment is painted within the timeframe established. If at any time the contractor feels like the required amount of owning work center support is not being provided the Wing Corrosion Manager should be notified immediately. Equipment will be painted on a worse to first basis however the owning work center Flight Chief or equivalent has the final authority on order in which equipment is painted to meet mission requirements. All chemical products used will be verified on the approved Qualified Products Listing. Each piece of equipment should have a set repair and repaint price not to exceed 65% of total replacement cost of equipment. A primary factor in considering the price will be the condition of the equipment. Categories 1 through 4 should be considered to draft a document detailing what a normal piece of equipment in that condition should cost to repaint based on the equipment paint score category prior to induction. AGE will provide contractor the equipment paint score category for each piece of equipment inducted for full paint. AGE will develop a list of equipment type that will require painting in 1 year and provide it to the contractor prior to contract being awarded so the contractor knows exactly what pieces are to be paint and what condition they are in. AGE leads will be able to substitute 20% of the items on the list to meet mission requirements. AGE leads will make the final decision on repair of items that exceed the 65% threshold. 2.2 The CFT shall provide structural repair, corrosion treatment and full unit paint for up to 80 AGE pieces in one year to eliminate, control, treat and prevent corrosion. The contractor will notify the Beale AFB Wing Corrosion Manager immediately if it is determined they cannot meet the needs of this contract to ensure proper steps can be taken to remedy the problem. Contractor will provide all consumables, PPE, and hazmat items outlined in technical data to accomplish work and appropriately dispose of generated hazardous waste.
