Building 400, Second Floor Chemistry Laboratory currently has an outdated Chemistry Analyzer and will be replaced by a new VA-provided Siemens brand chemical analyzer. The objective of this project is to prepare the existing space for the new equipment.

This construction project will remodel the lab and surrounding area to accommodate both systems.

Work includes, but is not limited to the following:

- Preparing the laboratory to accept the new analyzer system, modifying an AHU in the Building penthouse, and extensive remodel of the second-floor wing as depicted in the drawings.

- Relocating utilities, as required, including plumbing, drainage, chilled water piping, sprinkler piping, electrical conduits, fire alarm wiring, IT, lighting, and HVAC ducting that may be affected by the project.

The lab will remain occupied and functional during construction activities. Significant effort will be required to maintain Infection Control Barriers and negative pressure in the construction space due to the extremely high level of air quality requirements.

Period of Performance is 195 calendar days after Notice to Proceed (NTP) and work will occur in six (6) phases. The NTP shall be issued approximately 14 calendar days after award once required payment and performance bonds and certificate of insurance is provided.
