About this opportunity
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking proposals for the repair and corrective maintenance of the Lightning Protection System (LPS) on the Central Utility Plant (CUP) in Boulder, Colorado. The work includes repairing bonding and grounding issues, securing rooftop conductors, replacing or reinstalling air terminals, and ensuring compliance with NFPA 780 standards, with all materials required to be corrosion-resistant and compatible with existing components. Contractors must provide qualified personnel with credentials such as LPI Master Installer or equivalent, and are responsible for all necessary fall protection since no certified anchor points exist on the CUP roof. The evaluation will consider technical approach, key personnel qualifications, schedule, and price, with proposals requiring a maximum 20-page technical approach document, performance schedule, personnel resumes, and pricing details. A pre-proposal conference was held on July 10, 2025, questions were due by July 17, 2025, and proposals are due by August 12, 2025, at 3:00 PM MT.
This opportunity is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 238210 (Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors), with an estimated project magnitude between $25,000 and $100,000. The contract includes a 180-calendar-day period of performance from notice to proceed, with an estimated Notice to Proceed date of August 29, 2025, and all work to be completed by August 6, 2025. The place of performance is 325 Broadway, Boulder, Colorado 80305, at the NIST Boulder campus. NIST will provide a staging area for tools and materials after contract award, and contractors must comply with campus safety and operational requirements. The solicitation excludes Surge Protection Device (SPD) installation and does not require lightning protection for cooling units servicing the B92 cooling system.
