About this file

This is an Amendment (0002) to a Design-Build solicitation for safety shower and eyewash corrections at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Boulder Campus in Boulder, Colorado.

The amendment revises the Statement of Work dated July 13, 2026, and extends the proposal due date from June 30, 2026, to August 4, 2027, no later than 3:00 PM (MT). Key revisions to design and engineering requirements include: elimination of the requirement for stamped drawings; replacement of the traditional 30/60/90% design review cycle with a single 100% final design submission; waiver of custom written technical specifications with equipment data to be embedded on drawings instead; removal of technical electrical studies (power quality testing, harmonic analysis, megger testing, infrared scans); and limitation of design packages to basic 2D plumbing schematics and simple electrical line diagrams. Personnel restrictions have been relaxed to permit dual-role staffing (single qualified individual fulfilling multiple key personnel roles), reduction of minimum required experience for Project Manager and Site Superintendent from 10 years to 7 years, and allowance for key personnel roles to be filled by dedicated subcontractors or consultants rather than prime contractor employees only.

The base scope (CLIN 0001) addresses Building 22 Room 1203 with four option CLINs covering Buildings 25, 42/Central Utility Plant, Building 1, and Building 2. Work includes demolition and replacement of existing fixtures, installation of new ANSI Z358.1-2014 compliant emergency eyewash and shower fixtures, modification of plumbing infrastructure to provide tempered water, thermostatic mixing valves, and pre- and post-construction testing. The Request for Information deadline is July 28, 2026, no later than 3:00 PM (MT).

The purpose of this amendment (0002) is to incorporate statement of work revisions and incorporate an extended proposal due date:

A. DELETED previous incorporated statement of work and INCORPORATE a revised statement of work dated July 13, 2026.

A High-level summary of revisions to the statement of work:

a. Simplified Design and Engineering Requirements

i. No Stamped Drawings Required: Bidders can now use their own in-house technical staff to complete layouts instead of hiring outside firms for professionally stamped construction documents.

ii. Streamlined Design Reviews: Completely eliminated the traditional 30/60/90% multi-phase review cycle, replacing it with a single 100% final design submission prior to construction.

iii. Reduced Deliverables: Waived the requirement for custom written technical specification books; equipment data and sizing will now be embedded directly onto drawing sheets.

iv. Eliminated Costly Studies: Removed all requirements for technical electrical studies, including power quality testing, harmonic analysis, megger testing, and infrared scans.

v. Basic Layouts Allowed: Limited the design package requirements to basic 2D plumbing diagrammatic schematics and simple electrical line diagrams (if necessary).

b. Relaxed Personnel Restrictions

i. Dual-Role Staffing Permitted: Allowed a single qualified individual to fulfill multiple key personnel roles (e.g., the Site Superintendent can also act as the Safety Manager).

ii. Lowered Experience Bars: Reduced the minimum required experience for the Project Manager and Site Superintendent from 10 years down to 7 years.

iii. Subcontractor Flexibility: Allowed key personnel roles to be filled by dedicated subcontractors or consultants rather than strictly limiting them to direct prime contractor employees.

B. Any questions/requests for information (RFI)s/requests related to this solicitation must be received by the POC listed in Block 9 on the SF 1442 on or before July 28, 2026, no later than 3:00 PM (MT)

C. The Offer Due Date, Block 13 of the Standard Form (SF) 1442, is changed from June 30, 2026, no later than 3:00 PM (MT), to August 4, 2027, no later than 3:00 PM (MT).

D. No other changes occur as a result of this amendment.

STATEMENT OF WORK July 13, 2026 Design-Build Services for:

Title: SITE Safety Shower and Eyewash Corrections PH1

I. BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The Department of Commerce (DOC) campus is a research and development complex located at 325 Broadway in Boulder, Colorado. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is the primary occupant, National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) also have a presence on campus. NIST’s Office of Facilities and Property Management (OFPM) is responsible for maintaining and renovation of spaces which consist of laboratories, office space and facilities maintenance areas throughout the campus.

Annual testing of safety showers and eyewashes across campus have shown a significant number of fixtures failing to meet the ANSI Z358.1-2014 (Emergency Eyewash & Shower Standard), mostly shower/eyewash combination fixtures that fail during simultaneous operation.

OFPM conducted a study which identified deficient fixtures, determined the cause of failure, and recommended necessary actions to bring the fixtures into compliance.

II. PURPOSE

Many of the deficiencies identified have been remedied by NIST OFPM employees completing the recommended corrective actions. However, the scope in some buildings/areas is large enough to warrant contracted construction: Building 22 (B22), Building 25 (B25), Building 42 (B42/Central Utility Plant – CUP), Building 1 (B1), and Building 2 (B2) all have emergency fixtures needing attention. The intent of this project is to remedy the remaining deficiencies such that all emergency fixtures are compliant with ANSI Z358.1-2014. This Design-Build project is structured with B22 as the base scope and four option CLINs for the other abovementioned areas. Recommendations presented in this SOW and supporting documents are intended to be an optional starting point. Additional design and coordination will be necessary to proceed with any of the recommendations. It is the responsibility of the contractor to evaluate and confirm the viability of the recommendations, provide an engineered design, and execute the construction to successfully bring all fixtures within project scope into compliance.

PLACE OF PERFORMANCE

NIST Boulder Campus 325 Broadway Boulder, CO 80305

PAGE 5 OF 19 1333ND26RNB1900150002

REGULAR BUSINESS HOURS

See NIST Boulder General Contractor Requirements.

Major utility outages shall be limited to 8 hours and shall only occur during the semi-annual site shutdowns, typically scheduled in May and September. Exact dates will be provided once they are known.

A) If Contractor intends to conduct work during site shutdown, an outage request including description of work shall be provided 10-weeks prior to shutdown.

1. COR will coordinate outage activities with the NIST Outage Coordination Team.
