NIST Boulder A-E Building 1 Wings 4, 5, & Partial Spine

The NIST Boulder Campus Building 1 Renovation project, solicitation number NB196000-17-04758, is a total small business set-aside procurement for Architect-Engineer (A-E) Design Services and Post Construction Award Services (PCAS). The scope of work focuses on the renovation of Building 1, specifically Wings 4, 5, and the partial spine/main corridor, located in Boulder, Colorado. Following the Brooks Act for qualification-based selection, the procurement process is divided into two phases: Phase I involves the submission of SF-330 forms and interviews for the top three firms, while Phase II requires a price proposal from the single most qualified offeror. The project requires specialized experience in dry laboratories and government agency facilities, with a strong emphasis on technical competence in architectural, structural, mechanical, and electrical design. Key requirements include adherence to structural seismic standards, sustainability requirements, and the use of BIM and LEED capabilities. The procurement is managed by the Department of Commerce NIST, with contracting oversight provided by Meelondrell T. Lumpkin and Will Zbaeren. Comprehensive technical documentation, including conformed specifications, fire protection SOPs, and risk management processes, supports the design requirements for this facility upgrade.
