Plans for LOBs and Site Master Plan

Martin Fallier, Conventional Facilities Division DirectorCFAC Review

March 10-11, 2009


Outline

• LOB Current baseline• Advancing LOB Schedule• LOB Program• LOB Procurement• Site Master Plan Development


LOB Current Baseline

• Scope – LOBs 1&5 fully built out, LOB 4 shelled - ~24,000 GSF ea.• LOB Design Start Jan 2010 Complete Jan 2011• LOB Procurement Award Oct 2011• LOB Construction Start Nov 2011 Complete Aug 2013• Construction of LOBs would begin after building envelope is complete

and Pentant is occupied requiring temporary closure of exterior• Ring Building Contractor has indicated ideal time for LOB start would

be ~mid FY10 from constructibility standpoint as well as efficiency


Advancing LOB design

• To improve constructability and efficiency propose to advance LOB design and construction• Also resolves final CF bid uncertainty ~2yrs early

• Currently confirming existing program basis for LOBs with XFD before tasking A/E with design

• Accelerated design & construction schedule could be:

LOB Design Start - April 09 Complete – Sept 09

LOB Procurement Award – Jan2010

LOB Construction Start - Mar 2010 Complete April 2012

• Resulting design period is compressed but manageable per HDR


Lab-Office Building Program

Lab Office Building - each nominally has:• 72 Offices• 6 labs• Machine shop• 4 Conference Rooms• Loading/storage area


LOB Procurement

• LOB Procurement Issues:• Having two different contractors performing Ring Bldg & LOB significantly increases

potential for claims & delays but a >$25M procurement must be competitive• Advancing schedule compresses time for procurement to 4 months• Procurement >$25M requires DOE-HQ review & approval• RFP best value methodology worked well for Ring Building but requires more time

to evaluate & approve• IFB could be quicker but increases potential for less qualified firm to win award

introducing added risk• Proposed approach - Proceed with RFP methodology

• Previous experience with RFP and approval will streamline review/approval process• It is more important to accept some delay if needed then to have less qualified

contractor


Site Master Plan Development

• NSLS-II has always recognized potential for growth and development of additional facilities on the site• JPSI – NY state funded $30M project ($10M funded)• Other research agency facility requirements

• Varied User community and program needs may result in added facility requirements

• Potential for Life Sciences LOB and/or support bldg• Transition to Operations Plan development underway this year

• Will assess adequacy of existing NSLS to support long term mission needs• May identify additional facility requirements

• BNL still sorely lacks suitable on-campus short term residence facility • Given majority of visiting Users, this would ideally be near NSLS-II



• Currently working with HDR on Site Master Plan to confirm existing layout supports all reasonable potential changes• May identify some site layout (parking & roadway) modifications that

would be prudent for flexibility• May require some utility modifications (piping size and future

connection provisions)• Want to complete this effort soon (say May) to minimize potential site

development and utility design changes



Sample Site Plan Showing Potential Added Facilities


Building Utilities Plan


Issues & Potential Challenges

• LOB advancement puts added demand on CF team at critical time and increases overlap of two different contractors but potentially yields numerous benefits

• Are we selecting the optimum procurement method?• Uncertainty over how many, what size and when for potential

added facilities to account for in existing Site Master Plan• To what extent do we try to accommodate in current design & Ring Bldg contract?
