66 -- SUPERCONDUCTING DIPOLE MAGNET POC Contact Point, DAVID DALE, (516)282-3199 BROOKHAVEN NATIONAL LABORATORY INTENDS TO SOLICIT PROPOSALS FOR ONE (1) SUPERCONDUCTING DIPOLE MAGNET FOR THE E896 DIBARYON SEARCH. THE GOAL OF THE EXPERIMENT IS TO MAKE A DEFINITIVE SEARCH FOR THE HO DIBARYON PRODUCED IN HIGH ENERGY NUCLEAR COLLISIONS AT THE ALTERNATING GRADIENT SYNCHROTRON (AGS). THE METHOD THAT E896 WILL EMPLOY IS TO LOOK FOR A PARTICULAR UNIQUE DECAY CHANNEL IN A DISTRIBUTED DRIFT CHAMBER (DDC) LOATED IN AN ANALYZING MAGNET. THE DESIGN PARAMETERS WILL BE SUPPLIED BY BROOKHAVEN, THE SELECTED VENDOR WILL TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ENGINEERING, DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION, TESTING, DELIVERY AND SETUP OF THE MAGNET IN A TESTED AND READY TO USE STATE AT BROOKHAVEN NATIONAL LABORATORY IN UPTON, NEW YORK. THE MAGNET SHALL OPEATE TO THE PARAMETERS SPECIFIED FOR A PERIOD OF ONE (1) YEAR AND BE REPAIRED IN A TIMELY MANNER AND AT THE VENDOR'S EXPENSE IN THE CASE OF A MALFUNCTION. THE SUPERCONDUCTING MAGNET MUST BE A COMPLETE TURN-KEY MAGNET SYSTEM. THE VENDOR SHALL PROVIDE A READY-TO-OPERATE INTEGRATED MAGNET SYSTEM COMPLETE WITH INTEGRATED POWER SUPPLY, QUENCH PROTECTION, WARNING SYSTEMS, INTEGRATED CONTROL HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE, ALL MECHANICAL AND CRYOGENI EQUIPMENT NECESSARY FOR THE MAGNET TO MEET THE PHYSICS CRITERIA. OUTER DIMENSIONS OF THE YOKE ARE LENGTH 1.2 M (ALONG THE BEAM AXIS), HEIGHT 1.91 M, AND WIDTH 2.5 M (NORMAL TO THE BEAM). ONLY THOSE FIRMS THAT PROVIDE TECHNICAL INFORMATION SOWING THEIR CAPABILITY TO DESIGN AND FABRICATE SUPERCONDUCTING DIPOLE MAGNETS, WILL BE CONSIDERED. QUALIFIED VENDORS MUST SUBMIT WRITTEN REQUEST WITHIN TEN (10) CALENDAR DAYS OF THE DAY OF PUBLICATION. NO BROKERS SHALL BE PERMITTED TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS PROCUREMENT. (0067)
