The University of California, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, seeks sources for Special Equipment Beam Transport System STEEL SPACE FRAME SWITCHYARD No. 2. The scope of this project includes material procurement, shop fabrication from detail drawings, on-site erection, and on-site installation of a large steel space frame referred to as "Switchyard No. 2". The completed structure is 92 ft. tall, with a 68 ft. X 76 ft. footprint, weighs 700 +/- tons, and is supported laterally to existing concrete walls with horizontal bracing. The main structural supports are constructed from ASTM A500 steel tubing with full-penetration welded, moment resisting joints. A36 wide flange floor beams are bolted to the main tubing members and support aluminum grating and monorails on each of 7 levels. On-site erection includes field welding four 150 ton sub-space frames outside the concrete building on temporary concrete footings installed by the space frame contractor, and hoisting each sub frame through the open roof using a crane supplied and operated by the LLNL. Tolerances for steel erection will meet one-half (1/2) the requirements of AISC Code of Practice. The contractor must be properly licensed, should have at least ten years experience in steel welded-moment-frame structure construction projects of similar scope, scale, and value. Responses are required no later than close of business three (3) weeks after publication in the CBD. LLNL will pre-qualify all firms performing work on Special Equipment Switchyard Steel. Interested firms should respond with a one page narrative of your company's capabilities and past experience in Structural Steel work, including your company's EMR for the last three years. In addition to the narrative, interested firms must submit a short list of projects completed that closely match the work described above. This list must include names and current telephone numbers of the owner, engineer, architect or General Contractor familiar with the work performed. A short list will be developed from those companies submitting qualification narratives. The short listed companies will be interviewed by project personnel to determine their qualifications and experience. A sufficient number of pre qualified firms will be chosen to competitively bid on the Switchyard No. 2 steel work. Firms responding to this announcement which fail to provide the required information will not be considered for inclusion into any resulting source list. Facsimile and telephone responses will not be accepted. Mail your response to LLNL; Attn: Vern Davis; PO Box 808, L-443; Livermore, CA 94551. This notice is to assist the University in determining sources only; no solicitation is currently available. (0126)
