Description

Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC, (BSA) under Contract DE-AC02-98CH10886, for the operation of Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), herewith solicits your proposal for the Conventional Facilities construction of the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II). PROJECT INFORMATION The conventional facilities required for the NSLS-II will include a Ring Building of approximately 392,000 square feet. The Ring Building will serve as the centerpiece of the NSLS-II and will house offices for the visiting user community, laboratory space, the main accelerator ring, experimental beamlines, experimental floor area, and supporting facilities. The proposed construction type for the Ring building will be reinforced slab on grade with perimeter footing, structural steel frame with composite reinforced concrete slab on metal deck for the upper floors, and insulated metal panel exterior. Roofing may be a combination of standing seam metal roof, built-up bitumin or membrane roof systems. Although the building design will generally involve standard commercial design and construction techniques, there are some additional considerations due to the specific requirements of the accelerator, experimental beamlines, and types of research that will take place in laboratory spaces. Placement of the floor slab will involve an estimated 35,000 cubic yards of concrete, with special consideration given to minimization of differential settlement to assure alignment integrity of the installed accelerator and beamlines. The NSLS-II Ring Building has been designed to minimize sources of vibration and transmission of vibration that would impact beam stability in the accelerator and experimental beamline areas and laboratory spaces. Additionally, the building design minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) in the experimental beamline areas, certain portions of the accelerator, and laboratory spaces by the routing of electrical cabling and placement and shielding of electrical equipment. There are specific temperature stability requirements in the accelerator, experimental beamline and certain laboratory spaces that will require a heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system and control design that exceeds standard commercial practices. This acquisition is a "Best Value" procurement. Best Value employs a trade-off process that permits award to other than the lowest priced Offeror or other than the highest technically rated Offeror. BSA will evaluate proposals, in accordance with the following six criteria: contractor safety record and program, past performance in comparable work, key project personnel, major subcontractor safety and performance record, project management and quality assurance/quality control. BSA places great importance on worker safety and the maintenance of a safe worksite. Therefore, a safety incentive has been included as part of this procurement. The safety incentive is based on the following factors; 1) Accident/Injury Rates; 2) Serious violation of OSHA requirements and 3) Responsiveness to less serious OSHA requirements. The estimated cost for construction of the NSLS-II Ring Building is approximately $180,000,000.00 to $205,000,000.00. GENERAL INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS Plans and specifications may be obtained from BlueprintOnline. Costs associated with obtaining these documents will depend on the number of documents ordered. Detailed instructions for accessing plans and specifications at http://www.blueprintonline.com are contained in Enclosure 5 of attached RFP.
