LBNF Under Ground Concrete Work at SURF

The contract solicitation RFP-LBNF-381525-RO issued by Fermilab, acting as a DOE contractor, seeks proposals for underground concrete construction work at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead, South Dakota, as part of the Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility and Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment. The scope of work includes demolition, installation of new concrete and rail systems, and placement of a modified sheave beam within the SURF Underground Chambers. Concrete mixing must occur in a designated space provided in coordination with the contractor, situated within 100 feet of a water supply and no more than 1,000 feet from all work locations. The SDSTA Bull Gang will deliver materials to either the underground mixing point or surface placement areas, but the winning bidder must supply all general-use forklift equipment required for underground operations. Bond beams are required as part of wall construction, as defined by the attached drawings, which were added via Amendment 01. The project has no set-aside designation and falls under NAICS code 236210 for construction of commercial and institutional buildings. Proposals must be submitted in accordance with the enclosed Proposal Preparation Instructions and other enclosures, with a strict deadline of June 17, 2026. The point of contact for procurement inquiries is Russell Olliff, with additional support from Brian McKenzie. While the place of performance is clearly identified as Lead, South Dakota, and key logistical and technical requirements are outlined, contract value, evaluation criteria, inspection protocols, payment terms, and special contract requirements such as insurance or bonding remain unspecified in the available documentation.
