Specifications / Scope of Work
UMaine seeks a Concrete Construction Company (the Respondent) to build a
concrete foundation out of reinforced concrete (see drawings in Attachment A)
using standard house foundation formwork. UMaine will prepare a flat bottom
form surface for the project for casting. This surface may be elevated up to 4ft off
the ground and will be approved by a Licensed Engineer. No ground work is
expected of the contractor other than standard bracing of the formwork to the
ground if required.
The structure has a footprint of approximately 50ft by 50ft and will be constructed
based on drawings supplied by UMaine. Estimated material quantities are shown
in the table below. The structure can be cast in one or more pours, but cold joints
must be prepared with water stop and/or coatings to prevent leakages.
