- Description
- Background and IntroductionFermi Research Alliance, LLC (FRA) will provide facilities to enable a world-class program in neutrino physics that can measure fundamental physical parameters, explore physics beyond the Standard Model, and better elucidate the nature of matter and anti-matter. The Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF) Project will involve building a new high intensity neutrino beam at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) aimed at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF), 1,300 km away, where the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) international scientific community will build a neutrino detector. The LBNF/DUNE Project will be optimized for precision measurement of neutrino oscillations with the goal of searching for charge parity-violation in the neutrino sector, as well as make other precision oscillation measurements.The LBNF/DUNE Project will construct the Near Site Conventional Facilities (NSCF) at Fermilab on the north side of Fermilab’s Main Injector, in the southwest corner of the laboratory. The LBNF NSCF main construction scope includes the buildings, enclosures, and site infrastructure that will house and support the LBNF Beamline and DUNE Near Detector, including the Pre-Target beamline facilities, Target Complex, Absorber Complex, Decay Region, Near Detector Complex, and project-wide Site Work to support the facility and experiment. This construction will involve deep surface excavations, protection of existing buried structures, deep foundations, complex concrete structures including mass concrete placements, shaft construction, rock excavation and rock support, geosynthetic water barrier systems, mechanical-electrical-plumbing fitout, utilities, access roads, grading and drainage, and other site improvements.LBNF NSCF is a large, complicated underground project with a large amount of specialty concrete (over 100,000 cubic yards). The scope is dominated by the need to protect the environment from the adverse effects of radiation leading to the following requirements: the use of conventional materials in unconventional ways to construct a barrier between the conventional facilities and the groundwater; placements of massive amounts of radiation shielding concrete in a manner that minimizes cracking that would serve as paths for radiation; earthwork performed in a manner that allows for construction of a high-quality groundwater barrier and ensures its integrity.Scope of ServicesThe fundamental purpose of the Independent Design Review (IDR), commonly known in the industry as a “Peer Review,” is to review design documentation with a detailed, unbiased, analytical approach. An IDR shall occur at the completion of the NSCF preliminary and final design phases. Design documentation will include, but is not limited to, drawings, specifications, calculations, and design reports. The IDR team is composed of resources outside the project team. Areas of focus include: Quality of the design Design is sufficiently developed for the stage of the project Design documents comply with the design criteria Operational and functional objectives are met Interfaces identified and compatible Identify risks to the designThe IDR team shall: Review the documents for compliance with the Project program and purpose as well as with accepted standards of professional and technical practices. The IDR is to be for objective acceptability, and not personal preferences. The IDR team shall refrain from recommending or advocating changes that are merely personal preference. Recommend modifications and revisions as appropriate for the improvement of the Project. Prepare and present a comment matrix of the IDR team’s technical findings when review of the Documents is complete. Prepare and present a written report of the IDR team’s findings and recommendations when review of the Documents is completeTasks and Estimated ScheduleThe design will occur in two design phases, “Preliminary Design” and “Final Design,” each with a series of progress deliverables. An IDR shall occur at the completion of each design phase. Pricing will be Firm-Fixed Price for each Task.Task 1 Preliminary Design IDR: March-May 2020Task 2 Final Design IDR: September-November 2021For more details regarding deliverables and meetings, please see Attachment J-3 of the RFP.QuestionsQuestions and inquiries are to be submitted via e?mail to Chris Allen at callen@fnal.gov no later than December 20, 2019.
