This Statement of Work outlines the fabrication, modification, and delivery of six modular storage containers for Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The contractor must fabricate six 40-foot long, 8-foot wide, and ~9-foot tall watertight shipping containers. These containers need to be fully insulated with specific R-values (30 for roof, 20 for walls, 13 for floor) and equipped with heating (minimum 10,000 BTU-H) and cooling (minimum 10,000 BTU-C) systems. Each container requires a 100-amp electrical service panel, interior lighting, a minimum of six duplex receptacles, one 36-inch wide insulated man door (keyed by owner), no windows, and full-width and height loading doors on one end. The interior finish will be wood covering over insulation on walls and ceiling, with a floor loading capacity of at least 100 pounds per square foot. Shop drawings must be approved by ORNL before fabrication. Delivery, on-site placement, and leveling at ORNL (9500 Spallation Drive, Oak Ridge, TN 37830) are required by October 31, 2025. Deliverables include fully functional ISO-compliant containers, delivery confirmation, inspection reports, and a minimum 6-month warranty. Acceptance will be based on visual inspection by ORNL and signed documentation of delivery and installation. The project emphasizes compliance with DOE procurement and safety standards.
