STATEMENT OF WORK

Construction Services for

Steam Tunnel Ventilation System

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.

Building 42, (B42), built in several phases starting in 2004, is the Central Utility Plant (CUP) for the Boulder site. The CUP provides chilled water, steam, and compressed air to many facilities on campus. The steam tunnel starts at B42 and ends adjacent to B1 and contains piping systems for high pressure steam, steam condensate, chilled water and compressed air.

II. PURPOSE

The purpose of this project is to replace the existing tunnel ventilation system with steam heating coils with (2) natural gas indirect fired make up air units (MAU’s).

This construction effort will procure and deliver a complete, operational tunnel ventilation system, including removal of existing equipment, installation MAU’s, and all associated systems required for safe, reliable, and continuous ventilation system. Work will be planned and phased to be performed between the months of May 1 through October 31, mitigating the chances for pipes to freeze.

The law requires all reported information be made public;

therefore, the Contractor is responsible for notifying its subcontractors that the required information will be made public. Nothing in this clause requires disclosing classified information.

(d) Restriction. The Contractor shall not split or break down subcontracts to a value below the threshold at the Federal Acquisition Regulation 4.208(e), on the date of subcontract award, to avoid the reporting requirements in paragraph (c) of this clause.

(e) Duration. Continued reporting on first-tier subcontracts is not required unless one of the reported data elements changes during the performance of the subcontract. The Contractor is not required to make further reports after a first-tier subcontract expires.

(f) Exceptions.
