A mobile lab is required because tools and equipment must be calibrated annually, and tools are still used throughout the year by USBR personnel.
The contractor may be granted early site access to stage materials and equipment, but work cannot start until the specified date agreed to by USBR.
BPA Call #1: July/August 2026
BPA Call #2: July/August 2027
BPA Call #3: July/August 2028
BPA Call #4: July/August 2029
BPA Call #5: July/August 2030
Schedule The contractor will provide a proposed work schedule that states the days and hours of work, for approval, prior to the start of work onsite at both Hoover and Parker Dam.
The calibration technicians may work beyond 10 hours a day, with written prior approval, to complete the calibration services within 5 days at Hoover Dam, and 1 day at Parker Dam.
A USBR escort will be provided to allow daily site access, on the days and hours approved for work.
Daylight working hours are preferred. Reclamation maintenance staff work 10 hour days, M-F (0630-
1700).
Performance Standards The contractor must provide calibration services adhering to National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST) traceable ISO/IEC 17025 quality standards.
The contractor will comply with all federal, state and local laws as well as the USBR manual titled

Worksite Reclamation will provide a place to stage the mobile laboratory on the Nevada or Arizona ramp at the end of the respective powerhouse at Hoover Dam. Staging at Parker Dam will be near the powerhouse as well.
No utilities or other services (phone, internet, and electric power) will be provided to the contractor since the work requirement is for a mobile self-contained calibration lab. Major cell phone services are available at the locations the contractor will be staged at.
The USBR escort will guide the contractor personnel, vehicle and mobile lab down into the facility and out of the facility at the completion of each work day. The mobile lab may stay onsite, overnight, for the duration of the work at Hoover Dam, if requested.
The USBR escort will arrange tools and equipment brought to the mobile lab, monitor the contractor’s work, and arrange for the serviced items to be returned to maintenance staff.
The following facilities and equipment will be available, at no charge, for the contractor to use during the performance of services for this Statement of Work:
https://www.usbr.gov/safety/rshs/index.html
1. Restrooms are available inside the powerplant on the Nevada and Arizona side of Hoover Dam and inside the powerhouse of Parker Dam.
2. No government electrical power will be provided.
3. No government phone or internet will be provided for security reasons.
4. No desk or office space to work from will be provided.
5. Access to a fax line may be available upon request.
The physical address for Hoover Dam, and the rally point to meet the USBR escort is the Central warehouse:
Bureau of Reclamation Hoover Dam Central Warehouse
US Hwy. 93/ SR172 Boulder City, NV 89005
Parker Dam is located approximately 160 miles South via either Highway 95 (West of the Colorado
River), or Highway 93 (East of the Colorado River):
Bureau of Reclamation Parker Dam 2209 Parker Dam Rd.
Parker Dam CA, 92267
Additional Required Submittals In addition to the required submittals listed above under the “Work Requirement” section, the contractor will also review and sign the following government provided submittals before any work may begin:
1. Job Hazard Analysis (JHA): to be reviewed and signed by the COR and contractor’s job supervisor prior to the start of any work.
2. Site Entry Permit (SEP): to be reviewed and signed by the COR and contractor’s job supervisor prior to the start of any work, and signed to release the contractor at the completion of work.
a. The SEP authorizes contractor personnel, vehicles, and the mobile lab to be onsite for the duration of the services provided by the contractor and informs federal and contracted security forces of contractor assets/personnel.
3. A copy of both the signed JHA and SEP will be attached to mobile lab while it is left overnight in the dedicated staging area.
Site Security The operation of Hoover Dam and Parker Dam requires continuous and effective security measures. Site security is carried out and enforced by a federal guard system, Security Response Force (SRF), and contracted security guard personnel.
All contractor vehicles and the mobile lab will pass through the security checkpoint, upon arrival, on the
Nevada approach where the main entrance is located. Once the security checkpoint inspects and approves the mobile lab and contractor vehicles, passage down to the facility will be allowed, with the USBR escort.
Contractor personnel will have a USBR escort at all times while performing calibration duties at both
Hoover and Parker Dam. The contractor is responsible for ensuring employees comply with all security rules and regulations. Contractor personnel will not enter established or designated restricted areas without authorization from USBR. Restricted area entry will be in accordance with security regulations established for the local area (Hoover and Parker Dam).
The staging area for the mobile lab and optional additional vehicle will be on the Nevada ramp just outside of the powerhouse. The mobile lab may be left overnight and the additional vehicle can park in an available spot with the keys left in the vehicle during working hours. The mobile lab is typically left in the staging area overnight, and will be in a secure location. Additional vehicle parking is available for free in designated parking areas near the Hoover Dam Central Warehouse. Prior to the start of work each day, the additional contractor vehicle and contractor personnel will pass through the inspection checkpoint before traveling down to the powerplant and staged mobile lab with the USBR escort.
A parking permit for vehicles near the Hoover Dam powerplant will be acquired at the SRF building.
The USBR escort will take the mobile lab and additional vehicle down the gated Lower Portal Road; this road has sections of steep grade with multiple blind corners and a very limiting hair-pin (180 degree) turn.
The road is also limited by an electronically controlled swing arm gate and a concrete lined, single lane, tunnel that can allow a dump truck size vehicle through. A standard tractor trailer (18 wheeler) cannot make it down to the Hoover Dam powerplant on the Lower Portal Road. A standard pickup truck (dually) with a fifth wheel trailer, garbage truck, large bread truck, bucket truck, and similarly sized vehicles routinely make this trip and can be accommodated.
List of Submittals The contractor will furnish all submittals to the USBR contracting office point of contact (TBA), in accordance with Table 1 (List of Submittals) below.
Listed on each pre-award submittal will be the contractor’s contact information, solicitation number reference and USBR contracting office point of contact.
All costs associated with providing the submittals will be at the contractor’s expense.
