Attach 5 Handrail Pictures.docx

This is a supporting documentation file containing photographs of existing handrail and guardrail conditions across multiple buildings at the NIST Boulder Campus. The document includes ten images depicting current handrail and ramp systems requiring modification or replacement. The photographs show conditions in Building 3 Front Entrance (multiple images), Building 1 Wing 3 Staircase and Ramp areas, Building 22 East Entryway, Building 1 Annex D, and Wing 6 Dock Stairs. These images serve as reference documentation for the sitewide handrail project, illustrating the existing infrastructure that contractors will need to assess and modify to achieve ADA compliance and meet OSHA requirements.

The photographs are provided as part of the NIST Sitewide Handrail Project pre-solicitation (NB194000-26-00784) managed by NIST's Facilities Maintenance Division in Boulder, Colorado. These visual references enable prospective bidders to understand the scope and current state of handrail systems across multiple facilities before submitting proposals for removal, modification, fabrication, and installation of compliant handrail systems, as well as selective demolition and reconstruction of associated concrete stair and curb elements.
