B26 Hot Water Recirculation

The contract issued by the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) at their Boulder Campus calls for the installation of a hot water recirculation line and two associated recirculation pumps in Building 26, which serves as a Daycare Center. The scope includes all necessary labor, materials, equipment, and supervision to complete mechanical piping modifications and electrical work connecting to existing panelboards, including the installation of new breakers and disconnects. All work must comply with current National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements and NIST site standards. Due to the sensitive nature of the daycare operations, the contractor must coordinate closely with the facility, potentially scheduling some work during off-hours to minimize disruption. An optional component of the contract involves furnishing and installing a new water heater in Building 111 related to the piping work. Key procurement milestones include a deadline for submitting a list of individuals attending the site visit by April 24, 2026, with the site visit scheduled for April 28, 2026, at 9:30 am at Building 26.
