This Statement of Work (SOW) outlines a design-build renovation project for Building T1 at the NTIA Table Mountain Field Site in Longmont, Colorado, managed by the Institute for Telecommunication Sciences (ITS). The objective is to upgrade the facility to support ITS radio science research and spectrum management activities. The scope of work requires the contractor to deliver a design-build plan and execute comprehensive interior and exterior renovations. Key structural and cosmetic requirements include replacing five windows and two steel security doors, installing a new 60-mil EPDM rubber membrane roof designed for high wind and snow loads, and replacing two exterior decks with composite material. Interior upgrades involve scraping and repairing the floor to install new commercial-grade white vinyl tile, painting the interior and exterior walls with a Rhino Shield elastomeric coating, and installing eight ceiling-mounted LED light fixtures. Mechanical and utility improvements feature replacing the HVAC system with a high-efficiency electric heat pump, upgrading the outside electrical panel to a 250-amp, 3-phase power service, and renovating the bathroom to be handicap-accessible with water-efficient fixtures and rodent-resistant plumbing insulation. Additionally, the contractor must outfit an adjacent 20’ x 12’ x 10’ concrete communications shelter with LED lighting, wire molds, and dedicated electrical circuits. The project must be performed on-site at the Table Mountain Field Site. The period of performance begins upon contract award and is not to exceed two years.
