Environmental Chambers Retrofit, Denver, Colorado

The Bureau of Reclamation¿s Concrete and Structural Laboratory in Denver, Colorado has six large controlled-environment chambers that are housed within a room measuring 49 by 57 feet within a large single-story temperature-controlled building. The chamber system requires renovation due to performance reliably from time of original installation. Work is located at the Denver Federal Center in Denver, Colorado. Principal components of the work to be performed in accordance with the specifications include a new configuration. The new retrofitted configuration should not rely on the previous designs or components of the heating and cooling, control system, or data acquisitions from the existing configuration. Only the existing insulated chambers (walk-ins), building power, and dedicated chiller should be considered for reuse in new configuration. To the maximum extent possible, the existing insulated prefabricated chambers (walk-ins) will be reused, and modified. It is expected that the existing wall, floor, and ceiling panels of each chamber are adequate and can be retrofitted with updated equipment. The project is expected to be completed in March 2023. This requirement will be competed as a full and open request for proposals.
