Scope of Work
The awarded contractor will oversee cleaning and recoating of structural steel surfaces of the north tower of the existing 26,372-foot-long and 54-foot-wide structure over the Straits of Mackinac. The structure was constructed in 1957.
The project includes a set of lump-sum items for cleaning and coating structural steel with the standard MDOT zinc-epoxy-urethane system or a moisture-cured urethane system. These systems are subject to change according to project requirements.
Owner-approved manufacturers include Carboline, International Protective Coatings, PPG and The Sherwin-Williams Company.
A two-year bridge painting warranty is mandatory, which indicates that SSPC-QP 1 and SSPC-QP 2 certifications will be required.
