Description
The U.S. Government is seeking a contractor to procure and install overhead sunshades at Fort Hood, Texas. The project involves the installation of two sunshade structures, with a required clearance of 16 feet and dimensions of 33 ft × 29 ft. The contractor will be responsible for foundation work, including drilling piers and installing the sunshades. The government has verified the dimensions and elevation of the existing bleachers to ensure adequate clearance. The contractor should include slab cutting, demolition, and disposal as part of the foundation work. The government will accept a surface-mounted or slab-anchored foundation system, pending manufacturer engineering approval, if the slab thickness and reinforcement meet or exceed the manufacturer's minimum requirements. However, the current slab thickness will not support the requirement for the sunshade install, and the government requires the piers to be installed a minimum of 6' into the existing slab.
