Statement of Work for the EIC B1pF Collar Lamination Welding

1 SCOPE

This Statement of Work (SOW) will be the basis for the procurement of Interaction Region (IR) Magnet Welded Collar Assemblies to be used at the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) managed by Brookhaven Science Associates (BSA). This document outlines the Contractor’s responsibilities and obligations necessary for completing the requirements as set forth herein.

1.1 Background

The EIC Project will design, build, and install the accelerator hardware for a new electron storage ring, an electron injector, and modifications to the hadron ring required to produce an electron-ion collider and infrastructure. It will include one interaction region, with an allowance for a second, and one detector. The facility is designed to meet requirements to ensure high reliability and availability for the user program.

This SOW will be the basis for the procurement of Magnet Collars required for the B1pF collaring assembly in the Interaction Region of the Electron-Ion Collider.

2 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS

In the event of a conflict between the Technical Documentation and this SOW, the Contractor shall immediately notify the BSA Contractual Representative who shall in each instance determine which document takes precedence and advise the Contractor accordingly. Failure to notify BSA of a document conflict shall not relieve the Contractor’s responsibility to ensure full compliance to all requirements.

The following documents are an integral part of the SOW; the applicable revision level will be the latest that is in effect at the time of award:

7 VALUE ENGINEERING

The Contractor is encouraged to make recommendations for changes that might lead to an improvement in performance, reliability, quality, safety, or reduction in cost. Simplicity in operation, ease of maintenance, and an improvement in the performance and reliability of the specific functions beyond the requirements of this specification are objectives which shall be considered in the production. Where it appears a substantial improvement in simplicity of design, performance, ease of maintenance or reliability will result from the use of materials, parts and processes other than those specified, it is desirable that their use be investigated. When investigations point to advantages that may be realized, the recommendation for change shall be presented to BSA for review.
