The Contractor shall provide all labor, training, management, supervision, tools, equipment, materials, and supplies necessary to perform corrosion rehabilitation and whole item painting of Government-owned vehicles, equipment, and components in accordance with the appropriate manufacturer specifications and the applicable publications listed in Appendix "A". This equipment includes but is not limited to all tactical, special purpose and support vehicles, tracked vehicles, mobile communication equipment, container systems, and related ground/air equipment. Although it is not an all-inclusive list, Appendix "B" lists the various types of vehicles, equipment and components on which the Contractor is required to perform services. Equipment corrosion rehabilitation services consists of inspection, cleaning, surface preparation, minor metal and fiberglass fabrication and repair, primer application, base coat and desert tan or two tone camouflage pattern paint application and quality control. A primary intent of this work is to restore the exterior appearance of Government equipment to a new coating condition to selected vehicle areas. As a field or intermediate application, the intent is to mitigate visible corrosion of the equipment, with minimal disassembly, via surface preparation and reapplication of appropriate primers and topcoat systems. The contractor is responsible for obtaining permits through the California Mojave Air Quality District for operating a MCRF within the boundaries of the National Training Center and Fort Irwin (NTC&FI) and providing a copy of the annual permit to the COR. The Contractor shall provide and erect temporary shelters to perform the described work and protect the equipment from exposure to inclement weather during the corrosion repair. The Government shall provide a continuous work area of no less than 150-ft by 200-ft (or equivalent continuous area), exclusive of any vehicle/asset parking areas. The Government shall be responsible for moving vehicles/assets to and from the site. The Contractor shall interface with the Government to arrange for moving vehicles within the MCRF during repair. 1.2 Workload: The Contractor shall provide and maintain a labor force to support the acceptance base workload of 5 units per week (TECH EXHIBIT 1.2.1).

After the necessary cleaning and surface preparation, the Contractor can proceed to apply the overcoat. Any coating showing corrosion, cracking, blistering from rust or flaking shall not be over coated and shall be referred back to the surface preparation process. 1.17 Registration Marking: All registration marking shall be in accordance with the directions of Technical Manual (TM) 43-0139. 1.18 Camouflage Patterns: The Contractor shall obtain guidance from the COR before proceeding with any camouflage patterns.
