1. BACKGROUND

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is a government scientific research facility located in Gaithersburg, MD. The facility buildings largely date to the early 1960’s.

A previous CIPP project found cracked and split cast iron laboratory waste piping in the under-floor utility trench in buildings 223 and 226. Subsequently, NIST Shops have reported leaking piping in building 224. Generally, due to the video surveillance in both previous project buildings, it is accepted that this 60-year-old piping shares the same general condition of having long linear cracks and complete axial splitting.

The under-floor trench space is considered to be a confined space.

NIST is seeking to utilize Cure in Place Pipe (CIPP) to conduct the repair to the 224 laboratory waste piping. All ground floor laboratory waste piping will be restored utilizing CIPP lining. Total lining for this building is 680 feet (+/-).

2. PURPOSE

This contract will install CIPP lining in building 224 laboratory waste piping.

3. PLACE OF PERFORMANCE

Work is located at the Building 224, NIST, Gaithersburg, Maryland.

4. REGULAR BUSINESS HOURS

Regular business hours are Monday through Friday, 6 AM to 6 PM Eastern Time, excluding Federal holidays and NIST closures.

5. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE

The period of performance for this project is 365 days from signing Notice to Proceed.

Any extension of period of performance shall be made via Email to COR and CO and be at no additional cost to government.
