SINNHUBER AQUATIC RESEARCH LABORATORY CO6 MODERNIZATION DESIGN BUILD

The contract modernizes the 3,500 ft² north wing of Oregon State University’s Sinnhuber Aquatic Research Laboratory, creating a state‑of‑the‑art, specific‑pathogen‑free zebrafish core facility. The design‑build team must demolish the existing pre‑engineered metal structure, construct a new building envelope, install new HVAC, electrical, plumbing, fire‑protection, and high‑efficiency laboratory utilities, and integrate advanced aquatic life‑support equipment (Tecniplast systems, automated feeders, tank‑washer). The project is funded by an NIH CO6 grant, must comply with NIH Design Requirements Manual, Oregon prevailing‑wage rules, and LEED‑Silver sustainability goals, and is capped at a $5.2 M guaranteed maximum price. • Full demolition and new construction of the North Wing, including new roof, walls, and internal shear wall. • Installation of specialized zebrafish housing, automation, and tank‑washing systems supplied by the owner. • Coordination of civil utilities (redundant water, fire‑protection, storm‑water), site grading, erosion control, and minimal drought‑resistant landscaping. • Mandatory pre‑proposal conference (19 Mar 2024) and strict compliance with NIH design‑review schedule.
