Scope of Work

This project entails providing and installing new, ergonomically designed, durable, and easy-to-clean lab-grade workstations and shelving to replace existing contaminated and inefficient furniture. Key requirements include:

  • Materials: Work surfaces, sinks, and cabinets must be stainless steel, phenolic resin, or equivalent laboratory-grade material, non-porous, moisture-resistant, chemical-resistant, and support contamination control. High-pressure laminate is acceptable only if it meets laboratory-grade standards.
  • Room-Specific Furniture: Detailed specifications for L-shaped and standard worktables, fixed casework with stainless steel work surfaces, sink base cabinets, flammable storage cabinets, microscope worktables, and analyzer workstations across four distinct rooms (Rooms 1-4). Specific dimensions, features like locking casters, slide-out keyboard trays, and various shelf configurations are outlined.
  • Mobility & Ergonomics: Workstations must have locking casters where applicable, adequate floor clearance (preferably 9") for cleaning, and support ergonomic use and workflow.
  • Shelving: Wall-mounted shelving must be secured, compatible with wall structure, and laboratory-grade.
  • Delivery & Installation: Quotes must include all aspects of delivery, unloading, unpacking, movement to the lab, assembly, placement, installation, and removal of packing materials. Post-installation clean-up is required. Final field verification before fabrication is mandatory, and coordination with Facilities, Safety, and Shipping/Receiving is essential. Off-hours installation costs must be clearly stated.
  • Utilities & Safety: Vendors must identify plumbing, electrical, anchoring, and utility shut-down requirements, and clearly state included/excluded utility tie-ins. Safety training, PPE, and infection control measures during installation are required, minimizing disruption to active operations.
