Annual Utility Tunnel Safety & Health Audits (Audit)

The Annual Utility Tunnel Safety & Health Audits contract requires a comprehensive evaluation of the utility tunnels beneath the U.S. Capitol complex to assess compliance with local, state, and federal safety and health regulations. The audit must document all existing conditions, including signs of deterioration such as concrete spalling, delamination, cracking, damaged pipe insulation, and compromised electrical conduits, while also comparing these findings to historical audit data to detect trends or accelerated degradation. The audit must determine whether any conditions pose a risk of tunnel or pipe failure and identify the probable causes of observed issues. All findings must be thoroughly reported with supporting digital photographs and evaluated under the oversight of a Certified Industrial Hygienist and/or Safety Specialist, supported by licensed Mechanical and Electrical Engineers to ensure technical accuracy and regulatory alignment. The solicitation, identified as AOCACB26R0034, was posted on May 11, 2026, with responses due by May 26, 2026, and is managed by the Architect of the Capitol through its Acquisition & Material Man Division in Washington, DC. The North American Industry Classification System code 541690 applies, indicating the work falls under other scientific and technical consulting services. There is no set-aside for small businesses or other categories, and the work will be performed on-site in Washington, DC. Primary contact for inquiries is Marcus Sims, reachable via phone or email through the Architect of the Capitol. The audit is intended to support informed decision-making by CPP management to maintain a safe, compliant, and operationally reliable utility infrastructure.
