Deadline: 8/20/2021 2:00 PM   (UTC-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)

Status: Deadline Expired

Solicitation Number: 22-03

Description:

A.     A. Project Description

Project involves converting existing spaces located on the second floor of the Centerville Campus into two biology labs and a single chemistry lab.  The project will consist of new casework designed in accordance with Sinclair’s Campus Standards.  Design of the new spaces shall be similar to the existing biology and chemistry labs located at the main Dayton campus.  Casework will be a combination of custom and off the shelf units to meet laboratory needs.  Additional requirements may include specialized fume exhaust systems, acid/chemical resistant plumbing and counter tops.  All exhaust ducting if required will need to run through the roof.  Utility support for new laboratory equipment will be part of the design efforts for this project.  Laboratory equipment requirements will be dictated by the Biology and Chemistry Department needs for each laboratory.    Multi-media will be required in the new spaces meeting current campus standards.  Mechanical, plumbing and electrical requirements to support reconfigurations and equipment needs shall be part of this project.  The electrical components of this project may or may not require the need for new electrical circuits/service, new lighting, and emergency shut offs.  Outside of typical laboratory plumbing requirements, emergency wash/rinse stations need to be incorporated into these spaces.  The new laboratory spaces will be located above existing spaces and consideration for those spaces in regard to the running of lab support utilities needs to be included in the scope of this work.  It should be noted that the scope of work associated with the new labs should be flexible, as a result of, the input received from stakeholders during the program verification phase.  Plan to meet with the end users to assist in developing the lab requirements.

The selected design team will have experience in the design & construction administration of similar projects.  Important elements in the selection process will be experience in ensuring protection of building exteriors and surrounding campus property.  The firms must have experience in the complete design and monitoring of the work to be performed, to ensure work meets all codes and requirements, and to ensure subsequent warranties.
