QSB fume hood removal

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Office of Acquisitions and Grants is soliciting proposals for the removal of a perchloric fume hood located in Building 95 at the Denver Federal Center. The project requires a contractor to completely demolish and dispose of the fume hood in Room 2464, including associated ductwork, exhaust fan, electrical and copper piping, support structures, and blower system. Contractors must demonstrate expertise in laboratory equipment removal, industrial air-handling systems demolition, and strict adherence to federal, state, and local environmental and safety regulations. The evaluation will prioritize technical merit, including the offeror's experience with similar projects, key personnel qualifications, and technical approach, with technical factors being significantly more important than price. Critical dates include a site visit on March 18, 2025, a question cutoff on March 28, 2025, and a proposal submission deadline of April 4, 2025.

The solicitation is not set aside for any specific small business category, making it open to a broad range of contractors. The project has a firm-fixed-price contract structure with a performance period of 90 days from March 26, 2025, to June 25, 2025. While the exact contract value is not explicitly stated, the project involves comprehensive removal and disposal activities at the National Water Quality Laboratory. The location is confirmed as Room 2464 in Building 95 at the Denver Federal Center, with no known chemical contamination or asbestos present in the fume hood. The contractor will be responsible for coordinating with GSA building managers, managing utility shutdowns and restorations, ensuring proper waste disposal, and providing a draft final report within 20 days of project completion. The total building area is approximately 73,866 square feet, with the project focusing on a specific room within the facility's second-floor laboratory spaces.
