2.0 Background

The International Institute of Tropical Forestry has had a Chemical Laboratory since 1980. After Hurricane Maria hit the island in 2017, our laboratory suffered structural damages that have been worse over time. A safety inspection concluded that the laboratory must be demolished as soon as possible, and a new chemistry laboratory should be rebuilt. The laboratory equipment, cabinets, laboratory benches, and shelf units in the Chemistry Laboratory need to be relocated to demolish and rebuild our new building in storage.

The principal objective of this task is to acquire warehousing services at a dedicated warehouse facility in the metropolitan area of Puerto Rico. These warehousing services must include cleaning services to maintain the property in good condition. The contractor shall maintain and keep in good repair and condition the exterior, common areas, roof, foundation, and all structural repairs, as well as all damages caused by the elements, fire, and vandalism. The contractor is entirely liable for safeguarding all the property stored during this contract's entire period of performance.
