General Information:

The purpose of this Request for Proposal (RFP) Construction Services is to solicit proposals from qualified firms to provide construction services for the Room 341 Coral Laboratory Renovation. The Work shall consist of repurposing the existing OCED electronics laboratory and office space on the 3rd Floor of the Main Building into a newly renovated Coral Laboratory space with an altered layout to optimize existing space in support of the mission. AOML has provided drawings and details that illustrate the intent of the Work. The Contractor will be required to re-use and/or tie-ins to existing MEPS and Fire Alarm as part of the Work.

Bidders Information:

This requirement includes a base bid plus four contract line items add alternates:

Base Bid:

The base bid represents the permit issue set of documents dated 06/14/23 excluding the cost of the lab casework and exhaust system. Also, the flooring in the base bid is vct in lieu of epoxy and the doors are solid wood without the storefront (hollow metal) glass and glazing package.
