Y -- CONSTRUCTION OF STRUCTURES AND FACILITIES POC Dale Jose, Contract Administrator, 925-424-5204 E-MAIL: Click here to contact the contracting officer via, jose1@llnl.gov. The University of California, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), operating under Prime Contract W-7405-ENG. 48 with the U. S. Department of Energy (DOE), seeks sources for more than one firm for Cost Estimating Check Services for the installation of the Beampath Infrastructure System. Services include: project familiarization, preparation and submittal of a written cost estimate, meeting with the University to discuss and review the estimate, revision and resubmittal of the estimate per the discussion and review by the University, and presentation(s) of the estimate. The check estimates are intended to provide additional data regarding the cost for Beampath Infrastructure System, currently scoped in the range of $125M-$225M for installation. Additionally, as part of this effort, the University is interested in identifying qualified firms with the capability to provide Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC) or subtier contractor services for the installation of the Beampath Infrastructure System. While there may be changes, currently it is planned that a single CM/GC will be selected. The CM/GC will then hold multiple trade subcontracts of varying forms, competitively bid to pre-qualified contractors, to execute the installation of the remaining work. Ideally the CM/GC would self perform critical beampath hardware installations and other work to be identified. The National Ignition Facility, at Livermore, California, is under construction. Livermore is located approximately 50 miles southeast of San Francisco, California. The Beampath Infrastructure System includes conventional facilities, beampath hardware, and beampath utilities. Conventional facilities work is over 80% complete. Beampath hardware and beampath utilities include beampath vessels, enclosures, and beamtubes, auxiliary and utility systems, and support structures. A substantial amount of GFE -- government furnished equipment will be provided for installation by the infrastructure packages. Installation of beampath hardware and supporting utilities is a complex task. Multiple structures and utilities must be placed, aligned, assembled clean, tested, and maintained. Much of this work is in extremely congested spaces that are elevated 10 to 40 feet above the floor. The Beampath Infrastructure System is in varying degrees of design completion. Existing contracts are in place for construction of concrete laser support pedestals in laser bays and for fabrication and installation of switchyard space frames. The balance of the work remains to be awarded. The schedule for completion is extremely critical. Selection will be limited to Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC) or other full service Engineer/Procure/Construct (EPC) firms or joint venture firms located in the continental United States with demonstrated capabilities in execution of high technology construction while meeting difficult technical criteria including cleanliness and alignment, vibrational stability, and precise thermal control. Excellent safety program execution is critical, as is demonstrated cost and schedule management. Aggregation of capabilities is allowed if affiliations are through joint ventures, partnerships, consultant agreements, corporate structure, or other formal subcontracting agreements. Firms responding to this announcement shall a narrative describing how it meets the requirements listed in order to be considered. The narrative must include the company's EMR for the last three years plus a description of previous projects with similar aspects. Facsimile and telephone responses will not be accepted. All qualification documents must be received no later than 4:00 P.M. on January 7, 2000. This notice is to assist the University in determining sources only. No solicitation is currently available.
