Trace Metal Lab Interior Tenant Improvement Project

The Trace Metal Lab Interior Tenant Improvement Project is a construction initiative at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, with an estimated value of approximately $778,000. The project involves interior modifications within an existing research facility, including the addition of two new rooms and upgrades to a clean lab, covering mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. Bidders are required to participate in a mandatory pre-bid conference and site walk scheduled for October 29, 2025, at the Science and Engineering Building, with all participants needing to sign in and remain for the entire site visit to qualify. The project documentation emphasizes that only qualified bidders, as determined by the Nevada Public Works Division, can submit proposals, and bids must be submitted electronically via the Nevada Government eMarketplace by November 19, 2025. The project scope adheres to various codes, including the 2024 International Building Code and ADA standards, with detailed construction drawings and specifications provided. The contractual framework includes a formal Owner-Contractor Construction Agreement, which outlines roles, responsibilities, prevailing wage requirements, and compliance with Nevada laws. The project also mandates adherence to apprenticeship utilization laws, requiring contractors to submit Apprentice Request Forms to ensure the inclusion of registered apprentices in accordance with Senate Bill 207. The site and project details are supported by comprehensive maps and drawings, including campus facility maps and detailed construction plans. Overall, the project aims to enhance research capabilities through interior improvements while ensuring compliance with all relevant legal, safety, and construction standards.
