Cryomodule Repair & Maintenance Facility (CRMF) Conventional Building and Site Infrastructure Construction Project

This Draft Request for Proposal (RFP) is a Sources Sought Notice to identify General Contractors (GC) who are capable of completing the planned construction of a new Cryomodule Repair and Maintenance Facility (CRMF) building, to support the future repairs to the LCLS-II and LCLS-II-HE cryomodules.  This is not a solicitation for proposal or quotations and no award will be made from this Notice. SLAC intends to issue a formal solicitation later based on responses from this Source Sought Notice. 

The site for the CRMF building is located North of the existing Linac Sector 11, along the North Access Road, adjacent the Sector 10 Adit Road located at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, 2575 Sand Hill Rd, Menlo Park, CA 94025.  CRMF is a project directly funded by the DOE's Office of Science.   

The draft attached construction documents consist of administrative and technical specifications and drawings approved by SLAC’s Building Inspection Office (BIO). The final documents will be used as the basis of a bid to construction subcontractors for formal construction design and technical proposals.

PLANNED SCOPE AND DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

The basis of the Construction effort includes two (2) Alternative Building Sizes: 21,743 GSF Building; or an 18,068 GSF Building. Each alternative building size includes site final grading, foundation preparations, utility improvements, conventional building structure, control room, shielded test enclosure, pits for Vertical Test Stands (VTS), and Central Utility Plant (CUP) including all mechanical, electrical, and communication equipment, wiring and control systems.

SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory is seeking to award a design-bid-build (DBB) construction subcontract to an experienced and highly qualified and skilled GC, to construct the Cryomodule Repair and Maintenance Facility (CRMF) Conventional Building. The GC is required to complete the CRMF Conventional Building as detailed within the Project Manual and Drawings. The GC is required adhere to the project schedule, as outlined within the Statement of Work (SOW), while working in conjunction with SLAC to deliver the utmost safety, quality, and meet or surpass the administrative and technical requirements detailed in the Project Manual and Drawings.

A construction contract will be awarded as a turn-key construction contract to the most qualified GC.  The GC will finalize construction by performing, testing and commissioning of all new building systems working with CRMF and SLAC Operations teams for a completed facility that will transfer to SLAC accelerator operations.

DRAFT REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL 

The Cryomodule Repair and Maintenance Facility (CRMF) DBB scope has an estimated cost range of $30M to $37M.
