NIST Boulder Solar Lighting Upper Site Replacement NB194000-26-00904

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Boulder Campus seeks a qualified design-build contractor to replace aging solar-powered exterior pole luminaires with new hard-wired pole luminaires at multiple locations on the NIST campus in Boulder, Colorado. The project will include demolition and removal of existing solar lighting systems, design and installation of new pole bases and LED luminaires, photometric analysis for lighting levels, structural pole base design stamped by a licensed Colorado Professional Engineer, and installation of new electrical circuits originating from nearby building panelboards. Construction activities include trenching and backfilling for electrical conduit, restoration of landscaped and hardscaped areas, labeling of new equipment in accordance with NIST standards, and coordination of electrical shutdowns. All work will comply with the National Electrical Code (NEC), NIST site standards, and applicable safety and security requirements.
