About this file
This document is a Statement of Work (SOW) for the Central Monorail Hoist Installation at the Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF) / Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) site in South Dakota. The project requires a qualified crane and hoist contractor to modify, install, and commission two 20-ton Columbus McKinnon (CMCO) electric monorail hoist and trolley assemblies in the North and South caverns at the Sanford Underground Research Facility. The existing central monorail beams were not installed in compliance with CMAA guidelines for straightness, necessitating this remediation work.
The SOW specifies a performance period from June 1st to September 15th, 2025, with an anticipated subcontract award on September 1st, 2025. The subcontractor will be responsible for rail inspection, trolley modifications, hoist installation, and associated electrical work. Deliverables include detailed inspection reports for the existing rails, design and fabrication of new trolley wheels, hoist assembly installations, and commissioning and load test reports. The project is managed by Fermi Forward Discovery Group (FFDG) for the U.S. Department of Energy, with electrical work to be performed by FFDG's electrical contractor. The hoists are currently warehoused in Omaha, Nebraska, and will require transportation to the underground facility.

Central Monorail Hoist Installation Statement of Work (SOW) Introduction
Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF) / Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) - US 1-1
1 Introduction
1.1 Background
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) at the Long Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF) was borne out of the 2014 U.S. Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel (P5) recommendations. The recommendations called for formation of a truly international collaboration for constructing a US-based long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment with a powerful neutrino beam (~MW scale), a massive liquid argon TPC (40 kt) sited several hundred kilometers downstream of the neutrino source and deep underground, and a smaller detector just downstream of the beamline. Together these elements will have the capability to unambiguously determine the neutrino mass ordering, search for CP violation in the lepton sector, search for proton decay, and observe neutrinos from core collapse supernovae.
The LBNF/DUNE-US Project is the DOE-funded construction project to create the facility and contribute
US scope to the international DUNE Collaboration. The major participants in the overall LBNF/DUNE enterprise are the international DUNE collaboration, the LBNF/DUNE-US construction project, the DOE, international funding agencies, Fermilab (in Batavia, Illinois) as the host laboratory, and the Sanford
Underground Research Facility (SURF, in Lead, South Dakota), where the far detector will be located.
Figure 1 illustrates the general underground work area at the SURF (far) site.
1.2 Purpose of SOW
The excavation of the caverns at LBNF has been completed. A contractor has installed the central monorail beams in both the North and South Caverns. Due to discrepancy in specifications, the beams were not installed in compliance with CMAA guidelines for straightness. Fermi Forward Discovery Group LLC is now requesting proposals from qualified crane and hoist contractors who are interested in performing the
Figure 1: DOE Underground Leased Space at SURF
Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF) / Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) - US 1-2 modification, installation, and commissioning of the new hoists/trolley assembly on the existing beams in both the North and South caverns.
Two 20-ton CMCO electric monorail hoist and trolley assemblies have been purchased and are currently warehoused in Omaha, NE. Supporting documentation for the hoists is provided in Appendix B.
1.3 Assumptions
▪ Work is to be performed at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead, SD. The address for the facility is: Fermilab
100 Ross Ave.
Lead, SD 57754
• The hoists and trolley assemblies may be shipped to the sub-contractor’s own workshop or warehouse (at the expense of the Subcontractor) to facilitate the installation of the new trolley wheels before installation at the Fermilab facility in South Dakota.
▪ All access to the work site is provided through the Ross Shaft which conveys personnel, materials, and equipment from the surface to the 4850 L.
▪ All equipment, tools, and support items must be able to be disassembled into pieces less than the weight and dimensions listed in Appendix “A” in order to be transported underground. (See
Appendix A)
▪ The work is to be performed in the North Cavern (4850-33) and South Cavern (4850-37). The entry into this cavern provides sufficient room to transport tools and equipment.
▪ Access to the work area is available 5 days per week, 24 hours per day.
▪ Material movement or rigging support is provided from 7 AM – 5 PM and from 7 PM – 5 AM on both surface and underground Monday through Friday.
▪ The contractor has the responsibility to deliver tools, materials and equipment to the Ross Shaft;
SDSTA has the responsibility of transporting material through the shaft and unloading the materials at the 4850L. FFDG Bull Gang/transport crews will move tools and equipment to the
“Ledge” of the North and South Cavern. Materials should not be transported loose but condensed into steel “gang boxes” or other tool storage.
▪ A 30’ Section of Monorail extends into the “ledge” of each cavern. This will permit assembly work to be performed at 18’-25’ above the floor surface.
▪ The CMCO hoist and trolley assembly have been purchased and are currently warehoused at
Nebraska Crane & Hoist in Omaha, NE.
▪ In addition to the scheduled holidays, expect various work stoppages due to extreme weather conditions. In South Dakota, on average, these additional work stoppages equate to approximately 7 days per year.
Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF) / Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) - US 1-3
▪ Equipment agreements and custody of the hoist and trolley assemblies will be coordinated with
FFDG’s General Contractor: Kiewit/Alberici Joint Venture (KAJV)
▪ Pictures and the technical specifications of the hoists and trolleys are noted in Appendix “B”
