Genentech Corridor & South San Francisco Biotech Lab Moving

Contact Ontrack once the origin, destination and equipment scope are known. Build the move date around site access approval, the lab's EH&S process, equipment preparation and vendor availability. Confirm those dependencies with each responsible team before booking the physical move; a larger or phased project may need more planning time. Related guidance: lab move timeline guide.

Ontrack Moving® works to each building's own requirements. Buildings on Forbes Boulevard, Gateway Boulevard, Grandview, Allerton Avenue and Oyster Point each set their own certificate of insurance, loading dock and freight elevator rules, and we confirm those specifics before move day. On the Plasmidsaurus move at 2 Tower Place, the property manager, Transwestern, acting for the GNS Tower ownership, required a certificate with primary and non-contributory general liability, which Ontrack Moving® filed before move day.

Ontrack Moving® works the Oyster Point Park cluster, which holds multiple biotech tenants in modern lab buildings between Marina Boulevard and the bay. Loading dock access, freight elevator scheduling, and after-hours building permits run through the property management team for each building. We provide Certificates of Insurance to each property management team.

Ontrack Moving® quotes South San Francisco laboratory moves after reviewing the equipment, packing needs, access at both sites, crew time, distance and move sequence. Ask your equipment and cabinet vendors for separate estimates for any preparation, decontamination, testing or recalibration they need to perform. The written moving estimate identifies the agreed services and how changes, waiting time and additional materials affect charges. Related guidance: Bay Area lab move cost guide.

Bioreactors and fermenters need model-specific preparation. Your lab and qualified equipment vendor determine shutdown, cleaning, component removal and return-to-use checks. Cell-bank contents, sample manifests and temperature monitoring follow the lab-approved sample plan and its specialist arrangements. Ontrack handles the agreed physical equipment move. Identify the required pickup, delivery and QA records and their providers before booking.

Plan cold-storage equipment and its contents separately. The exact equipment model's manufacturer instructions govern preparation, transport and restart, while your lab's approved sample plan sets storage conditions, monitoring and acceptance checks. Agree who supplies each specialist service and how the equipment pickup and delivery fit that plan. Ontrack handles the agreed physical equipment move; hazardous materials travel under the lab's approved specialist arrangements. Related guidance: -80 freezer move guide.

Ontrack Moving® carries a $10,000,000 Combined Protection Tower across multiple policies, not a single $10 million general liability or equipment policy. A Certificate of Insurance reflects the actual policies and endorsements; your facility reviews whether they meet its requirements. Standard limited equipment liability is $0.60 per pound per article under the applicable moving agreement. Ontrack does not sell additional insurance or valuation; ask about a referral to a third-party provider and review that provider's terms separately.
