Statement of Work

Title: Procurement of Mine power supplies

Period of performance of this contract is: 180 days Base Period: 180 days after award

SECTION 1 – BACKGROUND

NIOSH PMRD operates underground research mines with an aim to improve worker safety and health.

Currently the research mines need rehabilitation of some air and water lines as well as additional air and water lines to supply some new locations to support the PMRDs research activities. Existing water lines replaced in the last 5 years is 2” sch40 aluminum grooved pipe with necessary fitting and valves. Water and air are required in most areas in the mine to support mine upkeep, research efforts, and fire suppression.

Without these supplies existing water lines will fail and additional areas in mine to support new research initiatives will not be able to be supported. Additionally, without refurbishing existing lines NIOSH employees and visitors could be injured due to pressurized air and water line failures and inability to fight fires.
