1 GENERAL SCOPE

1.1 Project Background: Argonne National Laboratory (Argonne) proposed a large-scale utility repair project, Argonne Utilities Upgrade (AU2) Project for Department of Energy Science Laboratory Infrastructure funding, to address numerous deficiencies associated with aging infrastructure. The AU2 Project will replace, repair, and upgrade several critical utility systems to eliminate deferred maintenance and reduce the risk of unplanned service outages, safety concerns, and other impacts to operations. This project will allow for the continued support of mission critical programmed growth, increased site resiliency, and integration of data analytics/machine learning.

The AU2 project achieved Critical Decision-0, “Approval of Mission Need” in Fiscal Year 2019, which resulted in a scope focused on the most critical repairs and investments associated with several major utility systems. Argonne hired Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc. to complete a Conceptual Design Report (CDR) for the AU2 project which included the summary of information from previous reports, studies, and new concept designs. The CDR and Preliminary Fire Protection Assessment (PFPA) are enclosed, reference section 13.

After analysis of the CDR and review with the Department of Energy (DOE), Argonne determined that the project will be designed and implemented in (2) subprojects. Subproject 1 base scope consists of new combined steam and chilled water plant and Subproject 2 encompasses new piping upgrades. This Scope of Work is for the design services associated with only Subproject 1 of the AU2 project.

The CDR analyzed (6) steam and chilled water plant alternatives. The design of the combined plant shall be based on Alternative 3B as recommended in the CDR, which is a new combined steam and chilled water plant with magnetic bearing. Reference the CDR for details on this alternative.

1.2 The Architect/Engineer (referred to hereinafter as A/E) will furnish the personnel, facilities, equipment, materials, and supplies necessary to perform Siting Verification, Preliminary Design, Final Design, and Construction Phase Services required for the implementation of AU2 - Subproject 1. The scope of AU2 - Subproject 1 is the construction of a new combined steam and chilled water plant at Argonne. The Argonne Facilities Design Guide (reference Section 13) defines the appropriate design codes for AU2 – Subproject 1.

1.3 The A/E’s services shall include all normal and customary professional services required of a qualified, professionally licensed A/E and its consultants in connection with the design, procurement, and construction phases of the project. The A/E shall furnish or provide the architectural and engineering services necessary to design the project in accordance with Argonne’s requirements as outlined herein, as well as in the CDR, PFPA and other specified supporting documents referenced in Section 13 and the CDR. The A/E agrees to prepare drawings, specifications, and other documents in which the A/E designates complete, definite, and clear assemblies and materials of construction. The A/E shall call for no result unless the A/E has furnished complete, definite, and clear drawings and specifications as to the construction results to be achieved. In particular, the A/E shall require of its consultants the level of quality recommended by industry standards.

2.4.1 At the start of the base contract work and at the start of each option’s contract work, the A/E is to provide a resource-loaded schedule of its work for Argonne’s review and approval. In addition, a schedule of values by month for the base contract and all options will be required. The schedule will be used to track cost and schedule progress using earned value measurement techniques.

3 DESIGN OBJECTIVES

3.1 The proposed combined steam and chilled water plant is to be designed as a state-of-the-art facility, enabling Argonne to meet its mission need to support scientific advancement through reliable, redundant, maintainable, and flexible utility systems.

3.2 The combined steam and chilled water plant is to be designed to provide the maximum practical flexibility to support changes in projected laboratory loads.

Argonne’s objective is for the combined plant design to provide sufficient flexibility to accommodate changes in projected site loads from future research buildings with minimal modification. One concept that illustrates the flexibility requirement includes provisions in the steam and chilled water system design to allow for expansion of the new heating and cooling systems to accommodate campus expansion.

3.3 The design of AU2 – Subproject 1 project must support compliance with DOE’s and Argonne’s environment, health, and safety requirements, both during construction and during operation. Reference Preliminary Hazard Analysis Report (PHAR) included with this Scope of Work.

3.4 Other AU2 – Subproject 1 design objectives include the following:

3.4.1 Economic Balance. The elements of the design should attain economic balance, commensurate with available funds and design objectives, between initial construction costs, building permanence, and operational maintenance costs.

3.4.2 Technical Adequacy. The elements of the design should achieve technical adequacy with respect to conventional combined utility plants.

3.4.3 Nature of Space. The design of the combined plant should comply with the requirements outlined in the Argonne Facilities Design Guide and in Section 3 of the CDR.

3.4.4 Completion on Schedule. The elements of the design should support, and not preclude, on-schedule construction of the facility.

3.4.5 Maintainability and Sustainability. The elements of the design should incorporate maintainability, energy efficiency, resiliency and environmental sustainability into the design solution. Optimal economy in operation, maintenance, and energy utilization will be sought. The design of the combined plant must comply with the Guiding Principles for Sustainable Federal Buildings requirements as detailed in Section 3.5.

3.4.6 Cleanliness. The A/E is to incorporate measures (such as special finishes, protocols for materials cleaning during construction, etc.) to achieve maximum overall cleanliness of the entire building at occupancy and during operation.

3.4.7 Environmental Considerations. The A/E shall propose measures to avoid adverse environmental effects and meet applicable national standards and Argonne guidelines. The design of AU2 – Subproject 1 must take these measures into account.

3.5 Sustainability Requirements. The design of AU2 – Subproject 1 must comply with the

Guiding Principles requirements. Argonne is a federal facility, and as such, this project is required to comply with Executive Order 13834, Efficient Federal Operations, dated May 17, 2018; DOE O 436.1, Departmental Sustainability, dated May, 2, 2011; and the Council on Environmental Quality Guiding Principles for Sustainable Federal Buildings and Associated Instructions, dated February 2016. The project is required to achieve a level of energy efficiency that is 30% or better than the current American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) 90.1 standard, as well meet other sustainable building requirements outlined in Guiding Principles. As a result, the A/E is expected to utilize energy-efficient, sustainable design and construction principles to achieve the Guiding Principles. Reference the Guiding Principles checklist (2016 Guiding Principles Checklist for New Construction and Modernization v2.0) included in the CDR Appendix G for details pertaining to the AU2 project. The project will not pursue LEED certification.

3.5.1 Decarbonization – In response to recent federal decarbonization goals, the AU2 project must consider incorporating decarbonization strategies. The A/E shall work with the Argonne team to consider a minimum of three (3) decarbonization strategies.

Additionally, the A/E shall ensure that the project design is flexible and supports Argonne’s ability to institute future decarbonization efforts post-project, including emerging technologies.

3.6 An additional design objective not discussed in the CDR includes the design & construction of utilities for the existing Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Building (Building 109) so that it can operate independently from the existing Boiler House (Building 108). These new utilities could come from the new combined plant as needed, or any other source that the A/E may identify. CHP system needs identified thus far include:

3.6.1 Steam – The steam line will need to be rerouted and connected back into the two steam headers past the Boiler House. It is currently connected inside the Boiler House.

3.6.2 Condensate – The condensate return system does not go directly to the CHP but it does feed the feedwater system in the Boiler House that does go to the CHP.

3.6.3 Feedwater – The feedwater will need to be routed from the new steam plant to the

CHP.

3.6.4 Boiler and Turbine Controls – The CHP process control system is pulled into the

Boiler House manned centralized control room. The CHP process controls will need to be pulled into the new steam plant.

3.6.5 Blowdown – The CHP blowdown goes to the Boiler House. This will need to be routed into the new steam plant from the CHP.

3.6.6 Air – Air compressors are utilized from the Boiler House to drive equipment in the

CHP. An air line will need to be run from the new steam plant to the CHP.

3.6.7 Domestic Water – Domestic water is used in the CHP for a janitor’s closet and at hose stations to allow washing the floor. A new source of water would need to be run from the new plant to the CHP.

3.6.8 Fire Protection – Fire Protection water is domestic water that is fed into the fire protection system of piping and is currently supplied from the Boiler House to the

CHP.

3.6.9 Fire Protection/PA System – The CHP is covered under the Boiler House Fire Dept fire detection system and Argonne PA announcement system. This would need to come from the new steam plant.

3.6.10 Electric – The CHP will need electrical feeds to run its equipment. Once the CHP is online it can feed the Boiler House electrically if needed. The throw-over transformer may need to be replaced in CHP. Also, the Boiler House diesel generator is used for black start capability of either plant.

3.6.11 Argonne Intranet – There is an Argonne intranet cabinet located in the CHP that may connect to whole system through Boiler House.

3.6.12 A preference for a Connecting Corridor/Hallway – The CHP and Boiler House have the above listed system connected through a corridor/hallway between the two buildings. The new steam plant ideally would require a similar corridor/hallway to carry these systems and allow Utilities Ops personnel to perform required walkdowns between the two plants. This will also allow for quick response to alarming equipment because operators will not need to go outside and possibly encounter slippery conditions during bad weather.

3.7 Other requirements are listed in the CDR and PFPA.

7.6.1 The FPA is to be prepared by a qualified professional. The A/E shall ensure that a full, independent review of the FPA is performed by a qualified professional. “Independent” is herein defined as a review by a person not directly involved in the preparation of the FPA. (The reviewer can be an employee of the same preparing firm.) Comments and findings of the review shall be resolved and incorporated prior to issuance of the FPA to Argonne.

The FPA shall be signed by the responsible preparer and independent reviewer to indicate concurrence. The FPA shall be formally approved and signed by the manager overseeing its preparation and by the A/E Project Manager.

7.7 Scoping: The A/E is required to include in its design a number of additive option scope items. These items shall support Argonne’s goal of soliciting overall competitive construction proposals that reflect the estimated price scope and incremental additive option items that will allow Argonne to award a construction contract scope ranging from 90% to 110% of the target construction contract price by utilizing the designed additive options. This approach is necessary to meet DOE requirements for designed-in project scope contingency management. The A/E and Argonne will work together to identify selected additive/alternative items. A preliminary list is provided in Section 2.

7.8 Design Reviews. The A/E will provide design documents and make oral presentations to an Argonne Design Review Committee at Preliminary Design completion levels and will incorporate all review recommendations in the design documents as agreed with Argonne. The PD documents are an integral part of Argonne’s CD-2 submittal and presentation to the DOE and subsequent approval for Final Design. Argonne will request the Argonne Preliminary Design comments to be incorporated into revised Preliminary Design documents to be resubmitted to Argonne in PD-4, the Revised Preliminary Design deliverable. The A/E will provide three-dimensional (3D) computerized renderings of key views of the project for Argonne’s. The renderings may be produced with “non-photorealistic” 3D rendering modeling software such as SketchUp or equivalent.

7.8.1 Project Progress Review. The A/E shall issue design progress documents and make presentations to the ANL Project Team at the 50% Preliminary Design (PD-1) completion level. A Design Review Meeting will be scheduled to occur within 5 to 7 Business days from the submittal date. The review period will be limited to 10 working days. Argonne will provide formal review comments to the A/E within 5 working days after completion of the review period. The A/E shall provide formal responses to all review comments and issue to the ANL Project Manager no later than 15 working days after the completion of the review period.

7.8.2 Argonne Design Reviews. The A/E shall provide design documents to

Argonne at the 95% Preliminary Design completion level. 95% Preliminary Design (PD-2) Review recommendations are to be incorporated into the 100% Preliminary Design (PD-3) documents. Design Review Meetings will be scheduled to occur within 5 to 7 Business days from the submittal dates.

The review period will be limited to 10 working days. Argonne will provide formal review comments to the A/E within 5 working days after completion of the review period. The A/E shall provide formal responses to all review comments and issue to the ANL Project Manager no later than 15 working days after the completion of the review period.

7.9 Owner-Architect Design Progress Meetings. During Preliminary Design, the A/E shall attend and lead Owner-Architect Design Progress Meetings on a weekly basis. At a minimum, the meeting shall be attended by the A/E Project Manager and Technical Lead. The purpose of the meeting is for the A/E to provide design progress updates.

The A/E will track issues and action items based on design discipline. The A/E will create technical committees based on discipline and assign a lead for each committee.

Argonne will designate a corresponding technical leader to enhance dialogue between the two parties. The A/E will maintain a master list of tracking items that are distributed at least 2 days ahead of each Owner-Architect Design Progress Meeting. Based on the list of open tracking items, the Owner will ensure key Owner project stakeholders are available when relevant topics warrant their attendance and participation so that timely direction can be provided to the A/E.

7.10 Critical Decision Support: The A/E will provide needed technical support to the AU2 – Subproject 1 Project Team to prepare for the Critical Decision 2 (CD-2), Directors Project Review (DPR) and Independent Project Review (IPR). Support includes (1) full day of attendance at each by A/E PM, mechanical lead and electrical lead to answer questions and provide technical information prior to and during reviews. Support includes preparing graphical materials to display facility floor plans and site layouts.

7.11 Independent Cost Review Support: The A/E will provide needed technical support to the AU2 – Subproject 1 Project Team to prepare for the CD-2 Independent Cost Review (ICR). Support includes (2) full days of attendance by A/E PM and lead cost estimator to answer questions and provide technical information prior to and during reviews. Support includes preparing graphical materials to display facility floor plans and site layouts.

7.12 Design to Cost/Budget: From the more detailed drawings and information developed, more accurate cost estimates and project schedules will be developed independently by both the A/E and the CM. This activity may reveal the need, at this stage of design, for revisions in scope or project features to keep the project within authorized funding and/or the need for early procurement of long-lead equipment to keep the project on schedule. Any necessary revisions in scope, project features, materials, and finishes that are required to stay within budget shall be made by the A/E at no cost to Argonne.

7.13 Value Engineering Workshop: The A/E will fully participate in a Value Engineering (VE) workshop to be conducted subsequent to Preliminary Design. The A/E will assist the VE effort by initially presenting a summary of each major element of the design to the VE team at the beginning of the VE effort. The A/E will then answer any questions of the VE team to clarify design intent. The A/E will also attend the out-brief presentation of the VE team to learn their recommendations and to make use of the opportunity to ask any questions. Argonne will then discuss the VE recommendations with the A/E to determine what VE recommendations to include in the actual VE design revisions.

7.14 Drawing Standards: The A/E PD drawings (excluding site, schedules, and code compliance drawings) shall be drawn at a minimum scale of 1/8-inch per foot and shall comply with Argonne drafting standards (reference FMS-PROC-108 Drafting Standards). Sections and elevations shall be provided as required to confirm that building floor-to-floor heights are optimized. A minimum of four (4) sections shall be provided for the MEP drawings to verify space adequacy and to ensure coordination of all utilities and services. The A/E shall, as part of the design activity, specify layers within the building elevation for each utility, including but not limited to electrical conduit, HVAC ductwork, heating and cooling piping, process piping, and telecommunications cable trays.
