Building envelope and primary structure shall be designed to meet BSL-2 pressurization requirements. Interior column spacings shall be no less than 11’-0” on center. Floors of mechanical rooms or interstitial area are to be designed to prevent leaking. No corrugated metal decking or other assemblies which cannot be waterproofed are allowed. The building must meet Class C/500mips for vibration criteria. Finished ceiling heights throughout all lab spaces to be 9’-6” minimum and 8’-6” minimum in all other areas. A minimum of 16 inches unobstructed clear space above all finish ceiling is required. Site and Security Requirements: The site and parking lot shall be ADA/ABA accessible. Total parking spaces required are 75. An ISC Faculty Security Level (FSL) assessment shall be performed as part of the ISC Risk Management Process Standards when evaluating all buildings. A secured loading dock capable of servicing large box trucks is required. Building entrances are required to have key card access. Utilities: Typical underground utilities shall include telephone, electric power, public water and sewer, high speed fiber optic cable, and natural gas. Mechanical System Requirements: The building laboratory spaces shall have automatic temperature / humidity controls provided through a central direct digital control system with 24/7 monitoring capability. Supply air handling system for the office areas shall utilize a recirculating system with ventilation rates meeting the latest ASHRAE 62.1 & 90.1 Standards and the IMC. Supply air handling systems for the laboratory spaces shall be dedicated 100% outside air and separate from those serving the office spaces. Supply and exhaust HVAC systems shall meet all DRM requirements. Minimum ventilation for laboratory spaces is 6 air changes per hour (ACH) of 100% single pass outside air. N+1 redundancy is required. Electrical System Requirements: The building’s electrical service will require both normal power and emergency power. Emergency backup power will be required. An N+1 emergency generator system with a double walled fuel oil storage tanks sized to support 100% of the entire premises leased space for up to 96 hours and separate from Life Safety. Economically Advantageous The urgency of this requirement will consider existing partial BSL2 DRM space which meets the program and is economically advantageous to the NIH. Tours of Responsive BSL2 Space The Government will consider two tours, the first to determine minimum technical requirements and the second to complete assessment for responsiveness of the EOI. Flood Plain Offered space shall not be in the 100-year flood plain. All EOI responses should be no longer than 5 pages, single spaced, 12 fonts and include responses to the questions on the attached Preliminary Expression of Interest Questions.
