About this file
This is Amendment 02 to solicitation ISD-358573-RK for interior upgrades to four village houses at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. The amendment extends the proposal due date from February 17, 2025 to February 24, 2025 at 3:00 PM CST.
The amendment provides answers to 15 contractor questions, clarifying several technical requirements: contractors must submit certified payroll showing prevailing wage payments, be fit-test trained for respirators, and be EPA Lead-Safe certified due to pre-1978 construction. FFDG will handle asbestos abatement of flooring. The scope includes replacing sinks/faucets, painting cabinet doors, window glazing replacement, electrical work (with confirmation of adequate panel capacity), standardizing to white outlet covers, LED lighting upgrades, bathroom renovations with greenboard drywall and FRP panels, and galvanized pipe replacement at three locations (28 Sauk, 19 Nequa, 12 Shabbona). Workers accessing crawl spaces for pipe replacement must be confined space trained and certified. A price sheet breaking out costs per house has been posted on SAM.gov.
