The University of California, Santa Cruz, is soliciting sealed lump-sum bids for Project No. 2700-162, involving the renovation of approximately 1,500 square feet within the Jack Baskin Engineering Building. The scope of work focuses on rooms 230, 258, and 258A to establish a new BSL1 Lab in Room 258 and a BSL2 Lab in Room 258A. This comprehensive project includes selective demolition, path of travel upgrades, and the installation of new laboratory casework, wall and floor finishes, and ceilings. Extensive mechanical and electrical upgrades are required, including modifications to plumbing, HVAC, BMS, power, lighting, data, fire sprinklers, and fire alarm systems, along with the provision of specialized lab equipment and new doors and hardware.

Compliance with CALGreen sustainability standards, construction waste management obligations, and prevailing wage and labor requirements is mandatory. Bids must be submitted electronically by October 12, 2026, and contractors must meet specific licensing requirements.
