Requirement: The existing flooring is located at CRREL’s Cold Room Complex which is near current research areas.

The Contractor shall: Provide all labor, equipment, and materials to complete the tasks in their entirety. Treat the floor with specified eurothane-cement mix ensuring the finished product is level with one (and only one) polyapaspartic topcoat. Colored paint chips must have 100% coverage with 40% of the paint chips white and 60% paint chips “frank blue”. Complete work in such a manner that researcher access to the cold boxes is restricted for no more than one week or in a phased approach so at least one cold box is always accessible. Once completed, all Contractor-Owned tools and equipment used, and dirt and debris resulting from the treatment shall be removed from premises.
