- Description
- The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is seeking a contractor to manage and operate the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL) in Batavia, Illinois, Kane and DuPage Counties, approximately 45 miles west of Chicago. FNAL was founded in 1967 and is a single program laboratory funded by the DOE Office of Science???s Office of High Energy Physics. Fermilab???s mission is to advance the understanding of the fundamental nature of matter and energy by providing leadership and resources for qualified researchers to conduct research at the frontiers of high-energy physics and related disciplines. To carry this out, Fermilab has a staff of approximately 2,000 employees and an annual budget of about $315 million. It operates the world???s highest energy particle accelerator, the Tevatron, on a 6,800-acre site. Approximately 2,500 scientists from 230 universities and laboratories in 35 states and 30 countries carry out research at the ???energy frontier,??? the highest energy environment for discovery of particle physics in the world today. Fermilab scientists also pursue research in particle astrophysics and cosmology, exploring the convergence of the inner space of the tiniest elementary particles, and the outer space of the structure and evolution of the universe. Fermilab operates the following user facilities: ??? The Tevatron, the world???s highest energy particle accelerator. The Tevatron creates millions of high-energy proton-antiproton collisions per second to allow physicists to study the smallest things human beings have ever detected and their relationship to the evolution and structure of the universe. ??? MiniBooNE, a neutrino oscillation experiment. MiniBooNE???s results will provide a stringent test of the Standard Model view of neutrino physics. ??? NuMI/MINOS, a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment. The MINOS neutrino detectors include a far detector located 400 miles away in the Soudan Iron Mine, half a mile underground in northern Minnesota, and a near detector located at Fermilab. It uses a beam of neutrinos (NuMi) from Fermilab to study the phenomenon of neutrino mass. In addition, Fermilab is the host laboratory for US/CMS, the U.S. section of the Compact Muon Solenoid Collaboration that will build and operate one of two large detectors at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. Fermilab is also the host laboratory for the U.S. efforts building components for the LHC and the U.S. accelerator R&D program with the LHC. When the LHC begins operations later this decade, experiments at the new energy frontier will provide profound new insight into the mystery of why particles have mass. Anticipated funding (from all sources) for fiscal year 2006 for FNAL is approximately $315 million. DOE expects to award a new performance-based contract during the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 and will include a two month transition period. All interested parties are requested to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) to Tonja Stokes, Source Evaluation Board Executive Secretary, RFP Number DE-RP02-06CH11359 at the following e-mail address: tonja.stokes@ch.doe.gov. While there is no specific format required, please reference the RFP number, list the name of a contact with a telephone number and an e-mail address, indicate your interest as being either a prime or a subcontractor, indicate whether you are a small business, and indicate if you are willing to have your expression of interest information published on the Source Evaluation Board???s solicitation website. Submission of an EOI does not commit an interested party to submit a proposal, nor does failure to submit an EOI preclude an interested party from submitting a proposal. Expressions of Interest should be received no later than 3:00 pm Central Standard Time on December 23, 2005. Future information regarding this solicitation will be posted on DOE???s Industry Interactive Procurement System (IIPS) at URL http://e-center.doe.gov and/or the RFP website at URL http://rfpfnal.sc.doe.gov. Offerors are responsible for frequently checking IIPS and the RFP website for information, notices, and updates regarding the solicitation. Offerors are advised of a SUBCRIBE feature on the website, which will allow interested parties to subscribe for automatic receipt of notice(s) regarding updates that are made to the RFP website. DOE anticipates issuing a draft RFP in the second quarter of FY06. Points of Contact Robert Gordon, Contracting Officer, (631) 344-3346, rgordon@bnl.gov; Tonja Stokes, Source Evaluation Board Executive Secretary, (630) 252-2136, tonja.stokes@ch.doe.gov.
