Proposals are hereby invited for consulting services to assist with assessment report, drawing of plans and compilation of bill of quantities of GI-Microbiology Laboratory Structure. Scope: Key aspects of the inspection will include evaluating the installation of new fume hoods and specialized cabinets for hazardous reagents, assessing the dismantling of small rooms and other rooms to accommodate new offices and biobank equipment, and examining the current state of outdated wiring and plumbing systems. Also the scope of work will include feasibility of replacing brick was with glass forest walls partitioning, electrical, office glass forest walls partitioning, amendment ceilings in order to accommodate LED lights, striping of old laboratories benches to replace them with benches containing (Adjustable wall bands to hold shelves alternatively recommending a suspend cupboard from the ceiling with doors to make it neater; Suspended beams from the ceiling +- 100 x 150mm services mounted to benches; 16mm/32mm melamine or hygiene board shelf with 2mm PVC edging; Double power skirting 20mm chemical resistant laboratory grade work tops width 1500mm 20mm chemical resistant laboratory grade work tops; Island bench frames made from 1.6mm thick 32/32 square tubing which is epoxy powder coated; 1440mm(D) x 84mm(H) 5D1 mobile cupboard made from 16mm melamine or hygiene board 1 draw/ 1 door/1 shelf), stripping the old tile floor to replace it with Linoleum Flooring, removal of old fume hoods, removal of old fans on the walls, removal of old GLP pipes and feasibility of installing new ones. The inspection will also involve assessing the installation of 4.5 metre (4.5 m) high Biobank equipment in one of the room created. Again, the inspection will also involve determining the load-bearing capacity of the building, particularly in areas where heavy new equipment will be installed. Additionally, the inspection will assess the integrity of both the ground floor and the first level, considering the potential impact of shutting down Level 1 during renovations. The service provider will also need to evaluate the risks associated with keeping parts of the laboratory operational while renovations are underway and provide expert recommendations on how to mitigate any unanticipated variables that may arise. The selected service provider will conduct a series of specialized tests, including a drone survey of the building"s exterior, scanning tomography to detect internal structural defects, Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) testing to assess the quality of the concrete, electrochemical potential measurements to evaluate corrosion risks, resistivity measurements to determine the concrete"s durability, and a petrographic examination of the concrete to analyze its composition and identify potential issues. The final report must comply with SANS 10400 standards and include a detailed visual inspection that addresses the current state of the building, any identified defects, and the level of deterioration. The report should also include a risk analysis using a 5/5 risk matrix, prioritize repairs based on the visual inspection, and identify high-risk elements that would require attention during any refurbishment efforts.
