STATEMENT OF WORK

Title: Galvanized Steel Stair Installation – Building 2 Mechanical Room

I. BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The Boulder Facilities Maintenance Division (BFMD) manages and provide services at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in support of research, technical, and administrative programs. Due to the age and condition of 2 sets of stairs in the building 2 mechanical room these stairs need to be replaced to be brought up to code.

II. PURPOSE

Provide all labor, materials, equipment, tools, and supervision necessary to demolish and legally dispose of one (1) existing 5-riser wooden staircase and one (1) existing 9-riser wooden staircase located in the lower-level mechanical room of Building 2.

Furnish, fabricate, and install new galvanized steel stair assemblies to replace the removed stairs. New stairs shall include slip-resistant (no-slip) treads and shall be field-fabricated and installed in place, including all required on-site welding, due to restricted access that prevents prefabricated installation.

All work shall be performed in strict accordance with all applicable local, state, and federal codes, regulations, and industry standards. Contractor shall ensure proper protection of adjacent surfaces and systems, coordination with other trades, and safe execution of work within the mechanical room environment.

PLACE OF PERFORMANCE

National Institute of Standards and Technology at 325 Broadway, Boulder, CO 80305.

Regular Business Hours Regular business hours are Monday through Friday, 7:00am to 5:00pm Mountain Time, excluding Federal holidays and NIST closures.

PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE

The contractor will have 120 days to perform the work from the notice to proceed.

III. SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS

1. Codes & Standards Stair system shall be designed, fabricated, and installed to comply with the latest adopted editions of:

· International Building Code (IBC)

· OSHA standards (including OSHA 1910 and 1926, as applicable)

· Local building and fire codes

· Manufacturer installation requirements

2. Materials

· Structural stair components fabricated from carbon steel with hot-dip galvanized finish for corrosion resistance.

· Stair treads to be non-slip, heavy-duty industrial type (e.g., serrated bar grating or abrasive safety tread), suitable for mechanical room conditions.

· All fasteners to be galvanized or stainless steel, compatible with galvanized assemblies.

3. Fabrication

· Dimensions, rise/run, headroom, and landing requirements shall meet code requirements.

· Stair width and load ratings shall be suitable for mechanical room access and maintenance activities.

4. Installation

· Install stairs plumb, level, and securely anchored to existing structure (concrete or steel) per engineered requirements.

· Provide code-compliant landings, handrails, and guardrails as required.

· Ensure all walking surfaces are uniform, stable, and slip resistant.

· Coordinate installation to avoid interference with existing mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems.

· No sharp edges or protrusions; all cut edges dressed smooth.

· Verify tread slip resistance and secure attachment prior to turnover.

· Maintain safe access to the mechanical room during construction.

5. Cleanup & Closeout

· Remove all debris, scrap materials, and packaging from the work area.

· Deliver completed stair installation ready for inspection and use.

OTHER PROJECT REQUIREMENTS

Safety on the NIST Campus

NIST is committed to maintaining a work environment that safeguards the public and the environment, as well as personnel and property.

If the award requires construction, demolition, excavation, renovation, or other work for which the contractor directs and oversees contractor personnel (including subcontractors) at NIST-owned and operated sites, the contractor shall:

Provide a detailed, site-specific Safety Plan to the contracting officer within 7 days after award that describes how the contractor will maintain a safe work environment and comply with applicable Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards, as well as with applicable state and local laws, standards, and codes.

The Safety Plan shall specify how the company’s policies and practices will comply with each of the applicable standards, laws, and codes.

The contracting officer will provide written comments regarding the plan to the contractor within seven (7) days of receipt and will require the contractor to submit a revised safety plan within seven (7) days after that to the contracting officer for their review. This cycle may be repeated, if necessary, until the contracting officer determines the safety plan to be acceptable.
