Plans for LOBs and Site Master Plan Martin Fallier, Conventional Facilities Division Director CFAC 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
Site Master Plan Development • 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
Site Master Plan Development • Sample Site Plan Showing Potential Added Facilities
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?
