About this file
This document provides equipment vibration standards and related costs for various pieces of sensitive laboratory equipment located across multiple labs at a research facility. The labs contain microscopes, microbalances, plate readers, sequencers, and other equipment requiring low vibration environments. Standards range from 48 to 66 VdB depending on the equipment's sensitivity and magnification level. Failure to meet the standards could result in measurement errors, failed experiments, required realignment or recalibration, and costs ranging from $150 to $7,000 depending on the specific piece of equipment and level of impact. The General Services Administration (GSA) solicitation seeks to lease nearby office and lab space in Seattle, Washington to relocate the research facility and ensure vibration levels are appropriately addressed for all sensitive equipment.
