1. INTRODUCTION

Under contract to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the Fermi Research Alliance, LLC (FRA), is leading the Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF) Project to enable a world-class program in neutrino physics.

Specifically, the LBNF Project (https://lbnf-dune.fnal.gov) provides the infrastructure for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), which will consist of two large liquid argon-based neutrino detectors located nearly a mile underground at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in Lead, SD. See Figure 1, LBNF/DUNE-US Schematic

The Far Detector & Cryogenics (FDC) subproject of LBNF/DUNE-US installs the cryostats, detectors, cryogenics and supporting infrastructure at the SURF laboratory.

2. STRUCTURE/COMPONENT DESCRIPTION

The vertical baler is a piece of equipment utilized to process waste consisting of cardboard, plastics, and non-ferrous metals. Two identical balers will be located in the underground caverns and will process this waste by means of compaction, resulting in a wired bale, which will then be transported to the surface for removal.

3. TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

The vendor shall provide a vertical baler that meets the following requirements.

• Total Equipment Dimensions (with retracted cylinder) – Must be less than 12’L x 4.4’W x 10.2’H cage dimensions to allow for transport to the underground caverns.

• Total Equipment Weight - <6,000 lbs.
