Quick Summary
Brookhaven Science Associates, on behalf of Brookhaven National Labs, is conducting market research through a Request for Information (RFI) for Architectural/Engineering (A/E) Services for the Electron Injector Complex (EIN) Subproject at Upton, NY. This RFI seeks capability statements from interested contractors. Responses are due March 27, 2026.
Scope of Work
The required A/E services involve preliminary and detailed design for the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) Electron Injector Complex. This includes:
- Design Services: Developing designs for infrastructure, buildings, LINAC and Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) tunnels, RF Complex, power supply buildings, cryogenics systems, and transfer lines.
- Infrastructure: Encompassing electrical power distribution, chilled water/cooling, compressed air, plumbing, data/communication systems, and site preparation.
- Specialized Requirements: Addressing environmental controls for accelerator areas, shielding, vibration reduction, and high-reliability systems.
- Deliverables: Comprehensive design documents, drawings, specifications, reports, cost estimates, and construction schedules, with phased submittals (30%, 60%, 90% preliminary; 60%, 90%, 100% final detailed design).
- Performance Standards: Adherence to high-quality standards, compliance with federal, state, and local codes (including DOE, IBC, NFPA, OSHA), sustainable building practices, and climate resilience. Value Engineering (VE) studies are mandatory.
- Cost Management: Design must align with a target construction budget of $271M (Feb 2026 dollars).
