Site work for a water / sewer project in Menlo Park, California. Conceptual plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

This is a Sources Sought Notice to identify engineering consultants to provide necessary professional design services to deliver the design package for Subproject 2 of the Critical Utilities Infrastructure Revitalization (CUIR) Project. This is not a solicitation for proposal or quotations and no award will be made from this Notice. SLAC intends to issue a formal solicitation later based on responses from this Source Sought Notice. BACKGROUND Many of SLACs utilities were installed in the 1960s as part of the original laboratory construction. These original utilities were not designed to support the experimental parameters needed for science research today and in the future. The purpose of the Critical Utilities Infrastructure Revitalization (CUIR) Project is to modernize utility infrastructure to provide reliable and sustainable operations, enabling SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC) to remain mission-ready and enhance the impact of Department of Energy (DOE) scientific programs. CUIR is a project directly funded by the DOE's Office of Science. The project is organized into three subprojects to efficiently execute utility improvements in alignment with lab priorities and operational downtime schedules. PLANNED SCOPE AND DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES SLACs wet utility systems have exceeded their expected service life, posing risks to safety, facility operations, and regulatory compliance. The CUIR project team is initiating Subproject 2 project to replace and upgrade critical wet utilities, including stormwater, domestic/fire water, and sanitary sewer systems. Based on the existing conditions of the utility systems, SLAC has identified 10 priority areas for replacement and modernization. The improvement works include improvements to existing storm drain, domestic and fire water supply, and sanitary sewer systems. The selected Engineering Design Firm will play a key role in developing a high-quality preliminary design, which will be used to guide subsequent final design and construction phases of Subproject 2. DRAFT REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL This Design Engineering subcontract will be a Best Value Trade off subcontract with a firm fixed price. SLAC will identify the most qualified design engineering firm to complete the following services: Base Scope Preliminary Design Development (30% to 60% Design) Coordination with SLAC Optional Scope Final Design (90%, 100% and Issue-for-construction) Support during bid preparation Engineering support during construction The draft Request for Proposal and relevant references are provided. These draft documents provided are subject to change and should not be construed as a solicitation. This Sources Sought Notice is NOT A SOLICITATION, but instead is to identify interested vendors for the upcoming formal solicitation release.
