Advanced Manufacturing Collaborative Facility

STATEMENT OF WORK

C-1 Introduction

The Contractor shall, in accordance with the provisions of this Contract, accomplish the design and construction of an Advanced Manufacturing Collaborative (AMC) Facility to be located on the campus of the University of South Carolina-Aiken (USC-A) in Aiken, South Carolina.

The DOE has aging government furnished facilities for the Savannah River National

Laboratory (SRNL) to perform the Department of Energy’s mission needs. The AMC

Facility will support DOE’s missions to: 1) complete the safe cleanup of radioactive and chemical waste from Cold War activities including nuclear and energy research; and 2) comply with legally enforceable environmental regulatory requirements while driving safety improvements and cost effectiveness in nuclear chemical manufacturing technology.

The commercial chemical and manufacturing sector currently uses a range of proven, advanced technologies which deliver significant improvements in cost, worker and process safety, product quality, environmental stewardship, and workforce training.

Adoption and utilization of these technologies is needed by the Office of Environmental

Management (EM) to better manage risk, improve program performance, increase safety posture and reduce life cycle costs and schedule.

To meet these challenges, the DOE needs an AMC Facility that will provide a modern, accessible Research and Development (R&D) environment to integrate and exploit the unique attributes of national laboratories, commercial entities, and educational institutions, to stimulate innovative thinking and to adapt innovative technologies to accomplish DOE missions.

This Statement of Work (SOW) provides the information necessary to design and build new laboratory and office space with designated public areas (i.e. classroom, offices, and conference space, etc.) that will meet advanced manufacturing research goals while providing highly flexible and reconfigurable laboratory space. It is envisioned that the

AMC Facility will be a facility ranging between 40,000 to 70,000 square-feet of space to support EM/SRNL missions while enhancing and expanding collaborations with academia, industries, and other government agencies.

The Contractor shall conduct all work in a manner that fully complies with all applicable laws, regulations, and terms and conditions of the Contract.
