STATEMENT OF WORK

B2 1330 Fume Hood Replacement U.S. Department of Commerce National Institute of Standards and Technology Boulder, Colorado 02/10/2026

I. BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The Department of Commerce campus is located at 325 Broadway in Boulder, Colorado and is a research & development facility. It consists of the agencies of NIST, NOAA and NTIA. The Office of Facilities and Property Management, OFPM, of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is responsible for the maintaining and renovation of spaces consisting of laboratories, office space and facilities maintenance areas, except the David Skaggs Research Center. The requirements as presented in this document, along with any attachments, are intended to describe the minimum Government requirements.

It is the intent of this Scope of Work to provide the requirements for the NIST B2 1330 Fume Hood Replacement Project. This project is to remove and replace the existing fume hood and rooftop mounted exhaust fan in building 2 room 1330.

See Attachment 1 - NIST Boulder General Contractor Requirements – Rev C, included in the contract for information on rules and requirements of performing work on the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) sites in Boulder and Ft. Collins, Colorado.

II. PURPOSE

This project is for the Applied Chemicals and Materials Division. Building 2 Lab 1330 has an existing tabletop fume hood and associated rooftop exhaust fan installed in 1992 that has reached the end of its intended service. New research will be taking place in the lab that will utilize larger equipment that utilize toxic gases. The existing hood is not large enough the new research equipment being performed within the lab.

This project will be removing and replacing existing counter tops, plumbing, sinks, and reworking existing electrical wiremold, conduits junction boxes, and electrical wiring to accommodate the removal and replacement of the existing fume hood, ductwork and rooftop mounted exhaust fan.

The Contractor shall coordinate with the Government Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) all activities required throughout the duration of this task order. The Contractor shall communicate with the COR and the CO on all matters pertaining to the task order.
