LBNL Response to Questions 01 Re: LBNL RFP MG-09272024 – 10/17/2024

1. This question pertains to suppliers that intend to submit a proposal to fill LBNL’s magnet assembly need (only). This requirement appears to be covered by Work Package 2. Is it OK if the supplier only submits a proposal for Work Package 2 in response to your RFP?

LBNL Response: Yes. Per the RFP, Section 1 “The offerors can submit proposals for either of the two work packages (not both), as described in the Statement of Work (SOW) AL-1685-4598 Titled Statement of Work for the ALS-U Storage Ring HBEND Magnets Revision B, dated, 09/12/2024, Section 2.1.”

2. If submitting a proposal to Work Package 2 only, it seems not all magnet assemblies are part of Work Package 2. Please clarify what is included in Work Package 2 and what is not. Reviewing your RFP, we concluded the packages covers the following scope with respect to magnet assemblies:

Work Package 1 covers the magnet assemblies in the chart below, including the ones in the left-hand column (such as Lower Adjuster Plate Assembly, etc):

LBNL Response (part 1): Both Work package 1 and Work package 2 require the delivery of one each AL-1208-2802 – Upper magnet core assembly and AL- 1195-4932 – Lower magnet core assembly. Correcting the graphics in the question, it would appear as below:

VERIFICATION PHASE

Is this understanding, correct?

LBNL Response (Part 2): The magnet-only work package is for the magnet cores only, no adjuster plates, this is a correct statement.

LBNL Additional Clarification

For suppliers that want to submit a proposal for Work Package 1, items 002 and 003 for both Work Packages 1 and 2 are the same - Magnet cores only, no adjuster plates.
