- Description
- National Sychrotron Light Source II Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC (BSA) is seeking an expression of interest by General Contractors for the construction of conventional facilities for the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) project, which is to be located at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), Upton, NY 11973. The NSLS-II will be an advanced, highly optimized third generation medium energy storage ring with full injection for top-off mode operation. The X-ray brightness and flux of NSLS-II will be world leading, exceeding that of any other currently existing or under construction. It will be 10,000 times brighter and have 10 times higher flux than the present NSLS. NSLS-II will meet the nation’s need for a high brightness, medium energy X-ray source. It will enable structural studies of the smallest crystals in structural biology, provide a wide range of nanometer resolution probes for Nanoscience, enable coherent beam scattering studies of the dynamics of condensed matter systems, and enable new methods for imaging the structure of disordered materials and biological systems. 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 the main accelerator ring, offices for the visiting user community, laboratory space, 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. BSA places great importance on worker safety and the maintenance of a safe worksite. A safety incentive will be included as part of this procurement. The safety incentive will be 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 value of conventional construction ranges between $180,000,000 and $205,000,000. The planned procurement method will be a Request for Proposal which will be evaluated based upon past performance and other technical factors. Interested contractors should contact David J. Paveglio for additional information related to this project.
