Mandatory Site Visit Registration Questionnaire_ARF_Sept 2024.docx

This document is a Mandatory Site Visit Registration Questionnaire related to RFP LBNF-357714-JD for the LBNF Argon Receiving System. The RFP is issued by the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and seeks a subcontractor to engineer, manufacture, deliver, install, and test an argon receiving system at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in Lead, South Dakota. The system will serve as the entry point for liquid argon to be used in the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) detectors, which will require almost 70,000 tons of liquid argon. The questionnaire requests information about attendees for a mandatory pre-proposal meeting and site visit, including names, job titles, citizenship, and clothing sizes to ensure proper personal protective equipment is available. The successful bidder will be responsible for providing two dedicated truck offloading stations, two 50 m3 storage tanks, equipment to vaporize and transfer the argon, and all interconnecting piping and controls. The system may be temporary or permanent depending on cost-effectiveness.
