1. Statement of Work

The 2016-2017 corrosion testing scope of work included HVAC and metal panel clips and fasteners in the test matrix. This portion of the scope was not completed due to time constraints, and remains an open question. The 2017-2018 scope of work focuses on completing this testing.

The test protocol includes the following:

Apply appropriate corrosion standard to experimentally evaluate the degree of corrosion resistance
All available descriptive information regarding tested specimens will be included in the reporting
Testing will be conducted on both new and installed systems to determine the influence of installation on corrosion resistance
Testing will include multiple samples of each specimen configuration
Interpret results and produce a report that explains the results

2. Deliverables

· An interim report detailing the current status and progress toward completing the scope of work will be submitted by February 15, 2018. The interim report will be presented to the Commission’s Roofing Technical Advisory Committee at a time agreed to by the Contractor and the Department’s Project manager.

· A final report providing technical information on the problem background, results and implications to the Code submitted to the Program Manager by June 1, 2018. The final report will be presented to the Commission’s Roofing Technical Advisory Committee at a time agreed to by the Contractor and the Department’s Project manager.

· A breakdown of the number of hours or partial hours, in increments of fifteen (15) minutes, of work performed and a brief description of the work performed. The Contractor agrees to provide any additional documentation requested by the Department to satisfy audit requirements.
