R -- PROFESSIONAL, ADMINISTRATIVE, AND MANAGEMENT SUPPORT SERVICES SOL rfq-nci-70096(nq) DUE 062697 POC Cynthia Brown, Purchasing Agent,(301) 402-4509, Trish Haun (301) 402-4509 The National Cancer Institute, National Inst. of Health, Division of Clinical Sciences intends to issue a sole source RFQ to Carl Seils to reconstruct the use of clinical, laboratory, animal, and administrative space. The current assignments have been made in an evolutionary manner as space became available over a 30 year period. As new research, clinical initiatives and investigator collaborations were implemented, it was often impossible to make assignments in contiguous space or in close proximity to one another. Thus the need for the development of an overall plan to achieve organizational and performance goals while maximizing the total benefits accuruing to the individual activities. This plan will include what is normally associated with the space reassignment-cost projections, swing space and infrastructure suitalbility. This requirement, however, is vastly different as it involves a variety of uses which have varied and differenet requirements. Sepcifically, laboratory, animal, clinical, and administrative space have differente environmental, electrical, and safety requirements which are unique unto the occupants and purpose of the space. The same is true for the use of swing space. Thus it is necessary to have this plan developed by an individual/organization which is familiar with the requirements. An added benefit would be an organization/individual who is familiar with the space available at the NIH. This would facilitate a more effective and certainly much faster plan development. Mr. Seils, a former NIH Division of Engineering Services employee, has an in depth knowledge of the physical requirements of the types of spaces which must be moved, their various special and unique needs as well as the NIH space available. Thus, he can identify the swing space with little or no difficulty. In addition he has supervised relocations which involved live research animals, clinical and surgical laboratories as well as general purpose research laboratories.
