Exhibit O Director Safety Letter.pdf

This is a letter from the Fermilab Director's Office to potential bidders regarding Environment, Safety, Health and Quality (ESH&Q) requirements for work at Fermilab, dated August 6, 2014. The letter emphasizes Fermilab's commitment to workplace safety and environmental stewardship through an integrated quality assurance and safety management program.

The letter outlines key ESH&Q requirements for subcontractors, including: mandatory compliance with specific environmental, safety, health and quality requirements in solicitation documents; intense oversight of ESH&Q performance by Fermilab and the Department of Energy; non-compensable work stoppage for unsafe conditions; potential contract termination for repeated violations; and a zero-accident goal. The facility is owned by the DOE and managed by Fermi Research Alliance, LLC, with all incidents receiving high-level scrutiny and requiring immediate corrective action. The letter emphasizes that ESH&Q compliance is not considered an added cost but rather an integral part of operations that helps reduce overall costs and meet schedules.
