Statement of Work Naval Postgraduate School Glasgow Hall Room 109 Furniture Upgrade

1.0 Background/Introduction:

1.1 The Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) Graduate School of Operation and Information Sciences (GSOIS) requires removal and disposal of existing antiquated furniture as well as delivery of new replacement furniture with incidental installation services and electrical upgrades to facilitate a more modern learning environment.

1.2 GSOIS educational activities occur primarily in Building 302 Glasgow Hall. One of its primary classrooms is Room 109, a tiered lecture hall presently outfitted with auditorium style fixed seating for 167 students. The extant installed seating is antiquated, broken, and does not accommodate the modern student in terms of a capacity to recharge electronic devices frequently utilized by students.

1.3 The Government seeks a modern integrated seating solution (lecture hall seating with tabletop and swingout style attached chairs) with the following: installation of approximately 134 fixed student learning spaces (fixed table ‘desks’ and accompanying swing out seating with installed electrical connections); installation of tabletops to support approximately 18 free-standing chairs on the emergency exit row tier, and 5 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant learning stations at the back of the hall (ground level entrance of the auditorium).

1.4 The Government seeks a solution which also provides for the dismantling, removal, and disposal of the extant furniture, as well as delivery and installation of modern replacement furniture, including installation of electrical conduit and wiring from student desks up to a common (in room) junction box (to be installed separately by the government); Note: contractor shall coordinate with Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) personnel to complete electrical rough-in work which will terminate at location of future panel’s installation.
