Project Background: East Fork State Park is requesting to have the existing epoxy floors ground down in 4 shower-houses (Men and Women’s in each facility) and removed then the installation of the decorative quartz. Loop G1, Loop G2, Loop C and Loop L restrooms are the 4 that are having the floors replaced.

Specifications/Scope of Work :
4 Men’s and 4 Women’s restroom floors (8 total) to be ground out and replaced. The approximant square footage is 2,240 SQ FT. (approx. 280SQ FT per restroom). The floor must be ground down to remove the existing coatings and prepare for the resinous flooring application. Make sure to place a drain bladder into drains to seal off the pipes so no epoxy gets down the drain and clogs the drain. Install moisture mitigation primer at 20 mils. Broadcast Torginol 40s decorative quartz aggregate to rejection (50lbs/100SF). Install 100% solids pigmented epoxy at 20 mils. Broadcast Torginol 40s decorative quartz aggregate to rejection (50lbs/100SF). Install UV stable epoxy grout coat at 15 mils. Install chemical resistant urethane topcoat at 3-5 mils.  For the integral cove base the existing base needs to be demoed. Grind the wall where the base was to remove existing adhesives to prep the wall for the new floor/cove base installation. Once that is complete hand trowel the decorative quartz and epoxy mortar into 4” integral cove base. Apply grout and finish coat with adjacent flooring. Cove base is to have same finish as floor and sealed against the wall. Work is to be completed in a timely fashion, all work to be completed between the hours of 8:00AM-4:30PM. Work is to be started as soon as possible after the contractor is selected. Wall mount toilets will not be removed but the partitions will be removed by staff before the job is started.
