Description
Background
The Bureau of Building, Grounds and Real Property Management is issuing a contract for the renovation and repair of the lobby skylight at the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science. This project aims to address long-standing issues with the existing skylight, which was originally installed in 1998 and has experienced multiple leaks and structural problems over the years. The goal is to ensure the skylight's functionality and aesthetic appeal while minimizing disruption to museum operations.
Work Details
The work involves refurbishment of an existing octagonally-shaped skylight, approximately 35 feet in diameter, originally supplied by Super Sky Products, Inc. The scope includes:
- **Repair**: Elimination of leaks, replacement of broken glass, onsite water testing.
- **Recaulk**: Removal of existing sealant and resealing with options for new caps, retainers, gaskets, wet seals, and flush glazed horizontal joints. A new five-year warranty against leakage will be provided.
- **Reglaze**: Installation of new high-performance laminated/insulated safety glazing along with new caps, retainers, gaskets, wet seals, and flush glazed horizontal joints.
- **Replacement**: If necessary, replacement of the skylight with a custom extruded aluminum-framed system featuring high-performance insulated/laminated safety glazing. This option will only be considered if the existing structure cannot be salvaged or does not meet current building codes.
Period of Performance
The contract is expected to commence upon approval and will be completed within a specified timeframe that will be determined during the procurement process.
Place of Performance
The work will take place at the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science located in Jackson, Mississippi.
Bidder Requirements
The contractor must have a Certificate of Responsibility issued by the Mississippi State Board of Contractors (COR# 19772-SC). The project is designated as a sole-source procurement due to the proprietary nature of the components required for repair from Super Sky Products.
