2.4 The "Project" shall mean the Scope of Services required from the
Consultant as stated in the Task Order and/or Subcontract.
2.5 The titles "Project Manager", "Subcontract Administrator", "Engineering Department Head", “Project Engineer”, "Project Coordinator", and "Liaison" refer to Fermilab personnel where referenced in this handbook.
3.0 FESS/Engineering Procedures
The FESS/Engineering procedures are an established method of conducting the operation of the department that incorporates the best knowledge available. These procedures are the documented series of steps taken to accomplish the identified tasks.
The maintenance and distribution of the FESS/E procedures is the responsibility of the FESS/E Department Manager.
In order to better align with current Laboratory business practices, the FESS/E procedures incorporate applicable Department of Energy (DOE) and industry standards. While the use of these standards do not represent formal requirements, their use and reference is essential to the establishment of best identified practices in the FESS/E procedures.
The primary objective of DOE Order 413.3, Program and Project Management For The Acquisition of Capital Assets, is to provide “project management direction for the acquisition of capital assets that are delivered on schedule, within budget, and fully capable of meeting mission performance and environmental, safety, and health standards.” While the implementation of this order is required for projects with a Total Project Cost exceeding $20 million, FESS/E has chosen to incorporate these general principals in the execution of projects and the development of procedures.
The Project Management Institute (PMI) is a non-profit advocacy association for the project management profession. PMI defines project management as the “application of knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to a broad range of activities in order to meet the requirements of a particular project”.” PMI publishes A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) that describes a system of process groups and knowledge areas that provide a framework for the management of projects.

The FESS/E procedures provide a convergence of concepts contained in DOE Order 413.3 and the organizing principals of the PMI’s Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK).
4.0 FESS/Engineering Organization
Acting as Fermilab’s in-house Architectural/Engineering (A/E) firm, the Engineering department of the Facilities Engineering Services Section (FESS) provides architectural and engineering services for conventional facility design and construction activities and oversees outside A/E Consultants.
The FESS/Engineering vision statement is to:
Provide facilities and infrastructure that meet the initial requirements of the physics community, incorporate flexibility to adapt to changing Laboratory programs, maximize uptime, are economical to construct, operate and maintain, are environmentally responsible, and provide for human comfort and a creative workplace atmosphere.
The FESS/E vision statement supports the FESS mission of:
SECTION I • PAGE 6
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory / Kirk Road and Pine Street / P.O. Box 500 / Batavia, IL 60510 / 630.840.3000 / www.fnal.gov / fermilab@fnal.gov
Our mission is to establish and maintain a dependable base from which high energy physics and other Fermilab programs can be safely accomplished without interruption.
As part of this mission, FESS/E works with internal customer division/sections to develop and execute projects related tasks in order to support the FESS and Fermilab missions.
FESS/E also provides project management skill sets for others projects (including design, inspection, progress monitoring and payment approval for construction activities).
5.0 Project Phases
Projects are classified by size and complexity according to the necessary phasing of design, production, approvals, bidding and construction. Phasing of projects is done in accordance with the requirements of the U.S. Department of Energy.
The phases described below follow the guidance of DOE Order 413.3
5.1 Project Planning Phase
The project planning phase consists of those activities that describe and document the strategic goals and objectives, safety planning and design. The Project Planning Phase usually consists of two (2) sub-phases as listed below.
5.1.1 Preconceptual Planning
This phase of the project approximates the Programming Phase as described by the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and is tailored to meet specific Fermilab requirements. The integrated project team documents the goals, needs, and function of the project including design expectations, budget and pertinent building code, site restriction and ES&H regulations. The integrated project team prepares a written statement setting forth design objectives, constraints, and criteria for a project, including special requirements and systems and site requirements. The integrated project team also prepares a preliminary estimate of the construction costs based on current area, volume, or other unit costs.
5.1.2 Conceptual Design Phase
SECTION I • PAGE 7
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory / Kirk Road and Pine Street / P.O. Box 500 / Batavia, IL 60510 / 630.840.3000 / www.fnal.gov / fermilab@fnal.gov
This phase of the project approximates the Schematic Design Phase as described by the AIA and is tailored to meet specific Fermilab requirements. If a project has completed the Preconceptual Planning Phase, the integrated project team reviews the previous documents before proceeding.
It is not unusual for a project to begin with a Conceptual Design phase in which the integrated project team documents the goals, needs, and function of the project including design expectations, budget and pertinent building code, site restriction and ES&H regulations. DOE Order 413.3 defines a Conceptual Design Report as “an integrated systems engineering effort that results in a clear and concise definition of the project.” Also in this phase, the integrated project team documents the project requirements and prepares schematic studies, text consisting of a written statement setting forth design objectives, constraints, and criteria for a project, including special requirements and systems and site requirements, drawings and other documents illustrating the scale and relationships of the project components and site impact. The integrated project team also prepares a preliminary estimate of the construction costs based on current area, volume, or other unit costs. DOE Order 413.3 states that the “products produced by this planning phase provide the detail necessary to develop a range of estimates for the project cost and schedule.”
5.2 Project Execution Phase
The Project Execution Phase usually consists of three (3) sub phases as listed below.
5.2.1 Preliminary Design
This phase of the project approximates the Design Development Phase as described by the AIA and is tailored to meet specific Fermilab requirements and is also been referred to in the past as the Title 1 phase. In this phase, the integrated project team prepares more detailed drawings and finalizes the design plans, showing correct sizes and shapes for spaces. The design plans indicate significant equipment and experimental apparatus, staging areas, and related ancillary spaces. Of key concern is the documentation of the design process including notes, sketches and calculation that detail the evolution of the design. Also included is an outline of the construction
SECTION I • PAGE 8
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory / Kirk Road and Pine Street / P.O. Box 500 / Batavia, IL 60510 / 630.840.3000 / www.fnal.gov / fermilab@fnal.gov specifications, listing the major materials to be used, appropriate construction cost estimate and preliminary construction schedule.
5.2.2 Final Design Phase
This phase of the project approximates the Construction Document Phase as described by the AIA and is tailored to meet specific Fermilab requirements. In the past, this phase has been referred to as Title 2. In this phase, the integrated project team will produce the drawings, Exhibit A and Exhibit B (specifications) that set forth the detail requirements for the construction of the project. Also included are the detailed construction cost estimate and construction milestones.
5.2.3 Construction Phase
This is the Construction Phase of the project and has been known previously as Title 3. In this phase, the integrated project team provides professional engineering and architectural support for the construction of the project.
6.0 Fermilab Provided Services
Fermilab will provide the following services and information to support the A/E Consultant during the execution of the work.
6.1 Safety
The Consultant shall observe all Fermilab safety rules, regulations and procedures. Entry to any areas not open to the public must be arranged through FESS/E Contact. For on-site work where the Consultant will not be escorted by Fermilab employees, a Subcontractor Orientation Class and identification badging must be attended prior to beginning work. Other safety training specific to Fermilab may be provided by Fermilab.
Identification of required training will be established at the beginning of each project. The FESS/E contact will arrange for training specific to Fermilab as listed below:
• Subcontractor Orientation Class: This half-hour class consists of a video and retention of a card by each A/E

6.4 CAD/GIS Standards
It is expected that all drawings produced for Fermilab with comply with the FESS CAD and GIS standards. The intent of the CAD and GIS standards is to maintain uniformity in the creation of quality design and construction documents. The CAD and GIS standard documents are a FESS/E organizational asset that will be provided to the AE Consultant upon request.
6.5 Coordination
At the beginning of a project, the A/E Consultant and the FESS/E Contact shall together decide what information may be necessary to research a project. The A/E Consultant should plan to have its staff do some research in the FESS/E archives to aid in the identification of appropriate information. The FESS/E Contact will assist in copying and sending to the A/E Consultant any identified Fermilab documentation.
7.0 A/E Consultant Responsibilities
This section outlines responsibilities A/E Consultants may have when working on projects at Fermilab in addition to basic architectural and engineering design. As detailed below, some are applicable to all projects, while others may be required as part of the project specific tasking request.

Policy Name: Sustainability
Policy Identifier: FEP 4
Effective Date: April 15, 2008
Provide adequate stewardship of DOE assets.
Applicability
Design and construction work under the direction of FESS/Engineering.
Policy Statement
Fermilab incorporates sustainable design principals into the planning, design and construction of projects.
This direction is taken from the Fermilab Director’s Policy 3.
Sustainability is broadly defined as the design and implementation of projects to simultaneously minimize their adverse environmental impacts, maximize occupants’ health and well-being, and improve bottom line, life cycle, economic performance. The concept of sustainability is a desirable approach to development that recognizes that resources are limited, and that there is a responsibility of the present generation to preserve resources for future ones.
The United States Green Building Council (USGBC) has developed the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standard to provide guidance for builders who wish to incorporate sustainable elements into their projects. LEED for new construction (and remodeling) is a set of specific and quantifiable measures, each of which confers a credit towards certification of a project as a “LEED-certified” building.
While Fermilab projects are generally not intended to become LEED certified, the project processes and each project element will be evaluated during the final design phase to reduce their impact on natural resources without sacrificing program objectives. The project design will incorporate maintainability, aesthetics, environmental justice and program requirements to deliver a well-balanced project.
For General Plant Projects and other projects as appropriate, the implementation of guidelines is accomplished by the use of the LEED checklist throughout the life of the project.
Responsibilities
FESS/E Project Engineer will lead the implementation of this policy.

Policy Name: Tailoring
Policy Identifier: FEP 5
Effective Date: April 15, 2008
Provide a flexible approach to the level of detail applied to procedures based on the scale, complexity and particular nature of the activity.
Applicability
All FESS/E policies, procedures and standards that are not specifically mandated by law, DOE Order, or Fermilab Policies, except as provided by its self contained tailoring policy.
Policy Statement
Adjustments or applicability to the adherence of FESS/E policies and procedures shall reside at the level of authority and responsibility as determined by the organizations, documents and customs. In the tailoring approach, requirements are applied to a level of detail based on the size, risk, complexity or duration of the task. However, the tailoring is in the degree of detail, not in omitting the requirements altogether. Tailoring of policies and procedures shall be uniform for like or similar applications.
Reasonableness standards shall be applied to adjudicate the appropriateness of tailoring.
Responsibilities

LEED for new construction is a set of specific and quantifiable measures, each of which confers a credit towards certification of a project as a “LEED-certified” building.
This checklist serves as the template for the FESS/E process. The checklist is completed and included in the development of a Conceptual Design Report. The checklist is reviewed when the project is issued for proposals and again at the completion of the project. This review allows the project team to measure the design against the baseline objectives developed at the Conceptual Design stage.
II Responsibilities The following responsibilities have been identified:
Fermi Project Director
• Participate in evaluation process;
FESS/E Project Manager
• Assembly review team;
• Chair review meetings;
• Transfer project documentation to project file.
FESS/E Project Coordinator
• Participate in reviews
III Procedure

1.0 Establish Review Criteria
The review criteria will be tailored to each specific project and be driven by the project requirements. Listed below are general guidelines for reviews:
1.1 Review Types
Reviews commonly used are listed below
1.1.1 A Comment and Compliance Review (CCR) is used to determine the appropriateness of the proposed systems, impacts on existing systems and operations, specific technical requirements to be incorporated into the design and compliance with best and required practices of the authority having jurisdiction.
1.1.2 Other reviews, driven by project specific requirements may be undertaken. The type, distribution and length of these reviews should be based on the project specific requirements.
1.2 Number of Reviews
At least one (1) CCR is generally required for each phase of the project. For example, a General Plant Project (GPP) usually has a review during the Conceptual Design phase and another during the Final Design Phase. One (1) CCR may be appropriate for smaller scale projects. In the event that a project is not subject to a CCR, documentation should be included in the project file noting the circumstances surrounding this decision.
1.3 Review Timing
The review should occur when a project is sufficiently developed to a point where reviewers are able to determine the impacts on existing systems and operations.
1.4 Review Length
In general, a CCR is ten (10) working days in duration. In the event that a shorter time is provided by project driven requirements, documentation should be included in the project file noting the circumstances surrounding this decision.
