Y -- CONSTRUCTION OF STRUCTURES AND FACILITIES -- POTENTIAL SOURCES SOUGHT POC Dale Jose, 925-424-5204 E-MAIL: click here to contact the subcontract administrator, jose1@llnl.gov. The University of California, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, seeks sources for the 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 distinct subcontracts which include the following (dollar amounts are rough order of magnitude): 1) Beam Path Enclosures includes installation of primarily government furnished equipment such as beam tube bellows assemblies, structural steel support frames, mirror enclosures and 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 for particulates and organics to level 83 and A/10. ($20-25 million) 2) 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. ($20-25 million) The University will pre-qualify all prime construction subcontractors which perform work on the Infrastructure. The University will not qualify lower tier subcontractors. Only prime construction subcontractors need to respond to this announcement. Firms responding to this announcement shall identify which subcontract package they are interested in and mail a fully 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 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. The University will request the short-listed companies to make a presentation to project personnel regarding its qualifications. The University may use a best value source selection process for the Beam Path Enclosures subcontract. Best Value award criteria will be based upon price as well as other value related factors. Those firms which 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 August 5, 1999. This notice is to assist the University in determining sources only. No solicitation is currently available. This notice was originally advertised on March 15, 1999. The estimated value of this scope of work has been increased. Those firms which have submitted qualification statements in response to the March 15 advertisement do not need to respond again. Posted 07/15/99 (W-SN354987). (0196)
