Site work and new construction of a laboratory facility in Cleveland, Ohio. Completed plans call for the construction of a laboratory facility.

Construction of government-owned government-operated R&D facility for aerospace power systems. The purpose of this contract is to acquire an Aerospace Power Systems Laboratory (APSL) and related services at Glenn Research Center (GRC), Cleveland, Ohio . The contractor will provide a two-phase Design-Build of a new laboratory facility to support the testing and development of power systems with associated site work, infrastructure, and systems. The scope of work includes the design , procurement, and installation at GRC. Scope of Work: _ The Scope of Work for this project includes the design and construction of an Aerospace Power Systems Laboratory (APSL) facility at the NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC), Lewis Field, Cleveland, Ohio. The APSL facility is envisioned as an approximately 34,000 Square Feet structure with associated site work. The APSL facility will consolidate and modernize research, development, and testing functions associated with aerospace power systems in a single, integrated facility to support NASA's current and evolving mission objectives . It is envisioned that the new building will be outfitted with special testing equipment such as vacuum chambers and specialized lab equipment to support advanced space power systems research and testing; this design and construction effort must allow for integration of this Government Furnished Equipment. Power, energy storage, energy conversion, and distribution are core competencies of NASA GRC.APSL will provide modern test facilities to advance power research and enable NASA to meet current and future mission needs. _ The facility is intended to accommodate a mix of administrative spaces, laboratories, high-bay test areas, performance testing and evaluation spaces, operational support areas, facility support spaces, and personnel amenities. The facility layout must promote efficient workflows, safe movement of personnel and equipment, and functional adjacencies that support testing operations and research collaboration. A central high-bay test area is anticipated as a primary organizing element of the facility, with associated laboratories and support functions arranged to provide safe, efficient access and material handling. _ The APSL facility must support advanced and potentially hazardous test operations. Accordingly, the facility design must address requirements for high-capacity electrical power, specialized mechanical systems, cryogenic fluid storage and distribution, cooling towers, and specialty life safety systems, as applicable. Offerors must evaluate and propose appropriate strategies for managing hazardous operations, including the potential use of physically separated structures or segregated areas to isolate hazards, enhance safety, and maintain operational continuity. _ Additional information and detailed requirements will be provided during Phase Two of the two-phase design-build solicitation process.
