Y -- CONSTRUCTION OF STRUCTURES AND FACILITIES SOL n/a POC Dale Jose, 925-424-2830, Subcontract Administrator E-MAIL: click here to contact the contracting officer via, jose1@llnl.gov. The University of California, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, seeks sources for construction of the National Ignition Facility (NIF) Infrastructure. This project will be "fast tracked" and may employ an owner controlled insurance program, fixed price award fee subcontracts, partnering, alternative dispute resolution procedures, prevailing wages, standardization of jobsite conditions, and other management tools in order to achieve cost and schedule objectives. The NIF Project Infrastructure will be packaged into (3) distinct subcontracts as follows (dollar amounts are rough order of magnitude): 1) Beam Path Enclosures includes installation of primarily Government Furnished Equipment such as beam tube bellows assemblies, interstage docking frames, rectangular beam tubes, round beam tube assemblies, structural steel support frames, mirror enclosures and the roving pick-off mirror assembly. This subcontract encloses the beam path for the Laser in an extremely clean, precision aligned environment. The work will be executed in a mostly finished facility and involves handling of large assemblies, structural steel, welding, clean construction protocol, precision alignment of assemblies including best-fit, and some in-situ precision cleaning ($10-25Million); 2. Laser Auxiliary Utilities includes extensive mechanical and electrical distribution through out the Laser Building, and Switchyards which are currently under construction. Systems include high purity argon, high purity nitrogen, high purity vacuum, tempered water, chilled water, tritium, clean compressed air, helium, hot water, low conductivity water, and demineralized water. In addition, extension of facility systems for fire protection, lighting and power, as well as catwalks, mezzanines and hoisting systems are part of this package. An extensive cable plant including installation of cable trays, cables and GFE racks is in this subcontract. ($25-$35 Million); 3. Target Bay Auxiliary Utilities and Beam Path Enclosure Buildout includes beam path enclosures, handling systems, and mechanical/electrical utility distribution in the Target Bay. Installation in the Target Bay requires extensive coordination, clean construction protocol and precision alignment. ($10-15Million). The University will pre-qualify all prime construction subcontractors who perform work on the Infrastructure. Firms responding to this announcement shall identify which subcontract package they are interested in and mail a completed Contractor's Qualification Statement (AIA Document A305, 1986 edition) along with a one page narrative in order to be considered for a short list. The narrative must include the company's EMR for the last three (3) years plus a description of previous projects with similar aspects. Submit one Contractor's Qualification statement and previous experience narrative for each package for which your firm wishes to be considered. A short list will be developed for each package from those companies submitting qualification statements. The short listed companies willbe requested to make a presentation to project personnel regarding their qualifications. A sufficient number of qualified subcontractors will then be chosen to competitively bid each subcontract package. A Best Value source selection process may be utilized for the Beam Path Enclosures subcontract. Best Value award criteria will be based upon price as well as other value related factors. Those subcontractors who fail to provide the AIA document and any required information will not receive further consideration. Facsimile and telephone responses will not be accepted. All qualification documents must be received no later than 4:00 P.M. on April 6, 1999. This notice is to assist the University in determining sources only; no solicitation is currently available.
