Summary

The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory is soliciting proposals for the construction of a new Summit Bowl Dormitory at the Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory in Amado, Arizona, to replace the existing dormitory that has reached the end of its useful life and does not meet current fire safety standards. The project includes the demolition of the old dormitory, construction of a new dormitory connected to the existing Commons Building, and upgrades to various building systems such as HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and fire suppression. Contractors with experience in large-scale construction projects, particularly those familiar with fire safety regulations and remote site operations, are encouraged to bid on this opportunity. The estimated project cost exceeds $10 million, and the successful contractor will be required to adhere to specific environmental and safety regulations due to the project's location in a national forest area.
