Description of Construction Services Work Effort Requirement:

This project requires the successful awardee to completely renovate and expand approximately 3000 sq. ft of laboratory spaces and some associated support spaces in the FTLB. The scope includes demolition and space reconfiguration, coordinating with NREL for asbestos removal from existing chemical hoods, providing new casework and chemical hoods, new finishes, high purity piping, plumbing, HVAC equipment and electrical installations for lighting and equipment.
