This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). I. Island assembly (Quantity 2 Each). Each island shall have the following physical features: A. Exterior dimensions: (1) Counter-top: 20' to 22' L x 52" to 54" W x 33" H (2) Supporting cabinets: shall conform to counter-top dimensions less an approximate one-inch (1") recess on all four sides. B. Material composition: (1) Counter-top: shall consist of a subsurface as appropriate and a one-inch (1") thick epoxy resin, black in color. (2) Supporting cabinetry: fabricated sheet metal (standard gauge). C. Counter top interior configuration and features: (1) End sink (one each) of stainless steel and rectangular design measuring 24"Long x 16"Wide x 8"Deep. It shall include a single gooseneck shaped faucet with tap and P-trap. There shall be separate spigot controls for hot and cold water. (2) Deck-mounted de-ionized water port (feed) installed at the end-sink suitable for providing the sink with deionized water from the water purifying system. On one island only, that faucet shall also serve the reagent grade water purification system defined at Para. II F. (3) At least four (4) cup sinks with coldwater faucet and tap with aspirator located proportionately along the center line of the counter top (See diagram). (4) At least four (4) double gang air and vacuum petcocks located between the four-cup sinks (See diagram). Air will be supplied by stand-alone bottles, and vacuum by separate pumps. (5) At least four (4) deck mounted double-faced electrical boxes, each face with at least two outlets with individual circuit breakers. Each outlet shall supply 120 Volt, 40 Amperage current. These electrical boxes shall be located as shown on the accompanying diagram. D. Supporting cabinetry. Cabinets and drawers are to be of mixed design and in the following layout: (1) Each island shall have three (3) kneeholes, one in the approximate center length wise on one side, and two proportionally off-center on the opposite side of the island. There shall be a tier of four (4) cabinet drawers located to the right side of each kneehole. On the left side there shall be a single cabinet having a swing out metal door and two (2) interior metal adjustable height shelves. (2) End island cabinet. There shall be an open (no shelving) cabinet located under each end sink. Interior length and width dimensions shall be centered between the exterior cabinet walls under sink, and be approximately eighteen inches (18") deep. The cabinet shal have double metal access doors. (3) Additional cabinetry shall be located the length of both sides of each island and may be either one or a mix of the following configurations: NOTE ON CABINET STYLES: Measurements are estimates. Specific dimensions must conform to over-all island size and kneehole allowances. All casework (sheet metal) is to be "bone" color matching the existing laboratory fume hood. ? Cabinet style 1 A fabricated sheet metal cabinet consisting of two separate under counter side-by-side pull out drawers, each measuring about 21" W x 7" H x 18" Deep. A cabinet bay located below the drawers will span the width of the two drawers above, and have two hinged doors, each measuring about 21" x 21". There shall be a single adjustable height metal shelf located within each cabinet. ? Cabinet style 2 A fabricated sheet metal cabinet consisting of a single full-height cabinet bay measuring approximately 21" W x 30" H x 18" Deep. It shall have two (2) interior metal adjustable-height shelves having a minimum depth of 16". The cabinet shall include a single door with metal pull handle. Adjacent to the cabinet shall be a tier of 4 pullout sliding drawers, each measuring approximately 21" W x 7" H x 18" D. II. Laboratory interior furnishing requirements: A. Connecting corridor There shall be three wall mounted shelf units (tiers) located on the building connecting corridor south wall. Each unit (tier) shall consist of vertical wall mounted strips for receiving adjustable brackets beginning just above the floor base board and extending vertically eight feet (8'). Each of the three units (tiers) shall have seven (7) shelves, each measuring three feet (3') long x sixteen inches (16") deep. An example of this adjustable shelving format is the Steel-Lok system. See NOTE below for shelf construction. B. Laboratory West Wall There shall be two (2) separate wall shelving units (tiers) mounted on the west wall and spaced proportionally between the laboratory west side corridor entrance and the building's north wall. Each unit (tier) shall consist of vertical wall mounted strips for receiving adjustable brackets beginning just above the floor base board and extending vertically eight feet (8'). Each of the three units (tiers) shall have seven (7) shelves, each measuring six feet (6') long x sixteen inches (16") deep. An example of this adjustable shelving format is the Steel-Lok system. See NOTE below for shelf construction. C. Laboratory South Wall (stock room outer wall) There shall be three (3) separate wall mounted shelving units (tiers) spaced proportionately along the length of the wall. Each unit (tier) shall consist of vertical wall mounted strips for receiving adjustable brackets beginning just above the floor base board and extending vertically eight feet (8'). Each of the three units (tiers) shall have seven (7) shelves, each measuring three feet (3') long x twelve inches (12") deep. An example of this adjustable shelving format is the Steel-Lok system. See NOTE below for shelf construction. NOTE: All shelves are to be made of wood , coated with a chemical resistant finish, and have a perimeter "lip" (rise) approximately 1/2-inch high to prevent items from sliding off. D. Laboratory Peg board for drying glassware Each of the two islands shall include a peg board at the sink-end measuring approximately 29"W x 32H x3/4 thick with assorted pegs and have a stainless steel drip-trough. E. Deionized water unit (One each) (1) Water quality: 2 to 14 megohms/cm resistivity (2) Flow rate: approximately 12 gallons per minute (3) Outlet pressure: minimum 30PSI (4) Configuration shall be as follows: a.
