Exhibit AA - Director Safety Letter.pdf

This document is a letter from Nigel Lockyer, Director of Fermilab, to potential bidders addressing Environment, Safety, Health and Quality (ESH&Q) requirements for subcontractors. The letter emphasizes Fermilab's commitment to safety, workplace health, and integrated quality assurance, with the Fermilab worksite owned by the Department of Energy (DOE) and managed by Fermi Research Alliance (FRA), LLC.

Key requirements for subcontractors include: strict adherence to ESH&Q provisions in solicitation documents, contractual responsibility for managing a safe work environment, and expectations of zero lost time due to accidents. The document warns that incidents indicating unsafe working conditions will result in non-compensable work stoppage, potential removal of personnel, and possible contract termination. Subcontractors are expected to prioritize employee safety and health, with Fermilab maintaining intense oversight of ESH&Q performance, particularly given its close interface with the DOE.
