Bids are due March 1. The owner has scheduled a pre-bid conference for Feb. 22.
Designed by SmithGroup/JJR Inc., the Arid Land Agricultural Research Center was completed in April 2006. The center allows scientists to conduct experiments to improve agricultural techniques in dry and drought-stricken regions.
Project architect Mark Kranz said the $20.3 million, 100,000-square-foot building was “built the way a farm would be built: utilitarian, economical and appropriate to function.”
According to project documents, the center has experienced a number of issues with water leakage, which has affected research equipment in the laboratory.

The project involves acid etching and coating 2,614 square feet of existing concrete floor with a water-based modified elastomeric asphalt emulsion base coat and a water-based polymer-modified acrylic industrial top coat.
The work also includes coating all concrete curbs, motor platforms, penetrations, and six inches up the wall with the rubberized coating system.
The contractor must be certified or possess a limited certification for the application of the coatings to concrete substrates from the manufacturer.
