Installation of fire-rated doors and corridors fireproofing at the Chief of Mission Residence in Madrid, Spain

The Department of State US Embassy Madrid is soliciting proposals for the installation of fire-rated doors and corridor fireproofing at the Chief of Mission Residence in Madrid, Spain. This comprehensive fire safety project requires replacing 24 doors across ground, first, and second floors with fire-rated wooden and metal doors that meet both U.S. and Spanish/European fire safety codes, while maintaining the building's existing aesthetic. The work includes installing doors with fire-resistant hardware, panic bars, self-closing mechanisms, and appropriate fire resistance ratings (EI2-30 and EI2-60), plus comprehensive fireproofing measures involving mineral wool mortar and nervometal mesh application to approximately 65 square meters of ground floor ceiling. Amendment 1 has modified the original solicitation to require fire-resistant upper floor ceilings and extended the performance period to 135 calendar days. Proposals are due by August 26, 2025, with contractors required to acknowledge the amendment to avoid potential rejection of their offers.
