Request for Competitive Quotes

The city of Dubuque Water Department is soliciting quotes for tuckpointing services for the exterior of Well House #7, located at 2200 Lincoln Avenue.
The entire masonry surface of Well House #7 will be inspected for “defective” mortar joints. Defective is defined as those joints that are eroded more than ¼ inch, loose, missing, cracked more than 1/32 inch or otherwise apparently defective. These defective mortar joints will be ground out to a depth of ½ inch, or deeper where necessary to reach solid mortar, fully exposing the sides of the joint, allowing no damage to occur to the adjacent surface. When grinding has been completed, all dust and grinding debris will be removed from the joint using compressed air or pressurized water. Prior to pointing, the clean joint shall be dampened to assure proper bonding of new mortar to existing mortar and brick. Mortar will be tightly packed into the joint and tooled flat or to a concave finish, with a color and finish to match the existing mortar as near as possible. All tuck-pointed areas which have been completed will be sprayed lightly with water during the heat of the day as required to prevent rapid curing. All excess mortar will be removed from the adjacent surfaces.
All existing structural fractures (movement cracks) on all exterior elevations of the brickwork will be renovated and reconstructed as flexible expansion and contraction joints. All existing fractures will be cut out to a minimum depth of 1 inch or deeper where necessary to reach solid mortar. When all grinding has been completed all dust and grinding debris will be cleaned from the joint using compressed air. Bond breaker rope will be installed to within ½ inch of the surface with the remaining ½ inch caulked with Sonneborn Sonolastic NP-1 or equivalent. The sealant will be tooled neatly into place. Color of the caulking will match the adjacent surface as near as possible. Sand may be applied to the surface of the caulking simulating a mortar joint.
In addition to tuckpointing:
1. Any deteriorated brick will be replaced with brick which matches; as close as possible, the original brick
2. All exterior masonry surfaces will be cleaned 3. All coping head joints will be caulked
4. Replace window lintels (if necessary)
5. All debris created from the restoration operation will be removed from the owner’s property.
Work will begin on August 8, 2011 and shall be completed by October 3, 2011. Work not completed by October 3, 2011 is subject to a penalty of 5% of the total project cost per week.
