The contractor shall have the capability of installing NanoFab equipment and NanoFab services with active laboratory while research is being conducted in the adjacent area. All NIST contract awards require the contractor(s) to have an experience modification rating (EMR) of 1.0 or less to be considered for contract award. The contractor will be providing construction services in the 536,507 square feet AML Complex which is one of the most technologically advanced complex in the world, providing combined features of close temperature control, vibration isolation, air cleanliness, and power quality. The AML complex consists of five buildings (buildings 215 through 219), each with one occupiable scientific level. Two metrology buildings (buildings 218 and 219) are below grade, two physical sciences buildings (buildings 216 and 217) and a Cleanroom building (building 215, NanoFab) are located above grade. Building 215 houses 8,000 square feet of class 100 cleanroom, a multi-million dollar suite of state-of-the-art nanofabrication and nanomeasurement equipment. This equipment is selected to provide users with a high degree of flexibility with tomorrow's technologies. All of the tools within the CNST NanoFab are designed to accommodate a wide variety of materials and substrate sizes from small pieces to conventional size wafers. The contractor shall have the capability of supporting facility upgrades and modification to accommodate rapid changes in technology equipment and facility.
