The Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP) is seeking proposals for the relocation of laundry dryer exhaust ducts at the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) in Allenwood, Pennsylvania. The selected contractor will be responsible for providing all necessary labor, materials, and equipment to reroute exhaust ductwork in compliance with applicable safety codes and standards. Key tasks include constructing ducts from noncombustible materials, ensuring smooth interiors to prevent lint accumulation, and removing existing duct connections to the building’s HVAC system.
Contractors must adhere to strict quality assurance protocols, perform regular cleaning during the project, and ensure all debris is properly disposed of. The work will occur during standard hours, and contractors must navigate necessary security regulations, including obtaining security clearances for all personnel. Materials delivery must be coordinated with the FBOP to ensure security compliance. Additional guidelines cover storage, safety measures, and personal protective equipment requirements. This project emphasizes operational continuity within the institution, stringent safety protocols, and adherence to construction integrity standards, reflecting the FBOP’s commitment to maintaining secure and compliant facilities.
