Renovation of a laboratory facility in Fountain Valley, California. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a laboratory facility.

Perform an evaluation of existing stainless-steel cabinetry and equipment (such as fume hoods, mobile carts, etc.). Utilize a Certified Industrial Hygienist (or equivalent) to perform a workflow optimization assessment to determine needs and recommend redesign specifications to meet all necessary safety requirements. Provide technical specifications for new equipment such as fume hoods, safety eye wash and showers, etc. Provide plan sheet(s) for new layout and equipment. Provide Class IV cost estimate. The OCWD Philip L. Anthony Advanced Water Quality Laboratory opened its doors in 2009. Over the course of 13 years of use, the existing lab washroom benchtops, sinks, and cabinetry built of primarily stainless-steel have significantly degraded over time and is rusting throughout. Additionally, the current design of washroom cabinetry provides an insufficient level of storage space, which staff currently supplements by utilizing mobile stainless-steel carts that have also corroded over time. These stainless-steel surfaces and carts need to be replaced with chemically resistant surfaces that can withstand the conditions of the lab's day to day workflow. These surfaces need to be evaluated and the consultant must provide recommendations on materials and redesigns of existing structures as necessary. OCWD desires to relocate one of the three existing sinks within the lab washroom to maximize available space and provide an optimal workflow for lab staff. These considerations should be accounted for in the consultant's proposal. The consultant awarded this agreement will be responsible for the evaluation of the existing laboratory washroom and required to provide biddable plan sheet(s) and specifications based on the scope of work below. Awarding of this evaluation and design agreement does not indicate the consultant is to be awarded the contract to perform construction of this project. However, award of the evaluation and design services does not preclude the consultant from being able to bid on the construction contract.

As of May 6, 2022, the due date and time has been confirmed with the owner.
