C.1 BACKGROUND 5

Contract Title: Summit Station Modernization and Recapitalization (SuMR) Integrator (henceforth 7 “Integrator”) for Final Design Phase and Major Research Equipment and Facilities Construction (MREFC) 8 Construction Stage. 9

Purpose and overall objective of the SuMR Major Facilities (MF) project. Summit Station is one of 10 the more unique research stations in the Arctic as it’s located at both high altitude (10,530’ / 3,216m) and 11 inland near the summit of the Greenland Ice Sheet (72° 36’ N, 38° 25’ W). Access to the site is limited to 12 ski-equipped aircraft. The site experiences typical daily maximum temperatures of 18 degrees Fahrenheit 13 (°F), and average daily low temperatures of 0°F in July. Temperature averages a high of -28°F and a low 14 of -50°F in December. Record highs of 34°F have been recorded in July, and record lows of -89°F in March. 15 Winds and storms occur sporadically and create challenges which require creative thinking to ensure 16 efficient execution of work. Design requirements are included in the PDD. 17

Summit Station began operations in 1989, supporting ice core drilling campaigns that have proven critical 18 to understanding current changes and processes across the ice sheet and the Arctic. Continuous 19 measurements of weather and climate since that time established Summit Station as an ideal hub for long-20 term climatologic, atmospheric and glaciologic measurements, and increasingly for physics and 21 astrophysics experiments. Located at the highest point of the Greenland ice sheet near the center, Summit 22 Station is the only high-altitude, high-latitude, year-round Arctic research facility in the world. 23

Summit Station requires recapitalization because the existing infrastructure at Summit Station, some dating 24 back to 1989, is nearing the end of its service life; indoor space is inadequate to accommodate the breadth 25 of research interests; energy production lacks integrated renewable energy sources; and surface structures 26 cause drifting and require heavy equipment operations to move snow and unbury structures. 27

The SuMR MF project will enable innovative science and replace aging infrastructure with modern 28 facilities that can withstand the harsh climate and perform as an efficient, flexible, and scalable year-round 29 observing platform that can house up to 42 individuals but can also operate with minimal human presence 30 or mothballed when not in use. This comprehensive, multi-year modernization and recapitalization effort 31 is geared towards enabling science for decades to come, ensuring that Summit Station will remain an 32 enduring platform at the forefront of Arctic research. 33

The SuMR project will construct station facilities and incidental infrastructure over a period of seven years 34 (anticipated 2027 to 2033) within the existing area allotment under permit from Greenland. The project will 35 replace approximately 16 existing surface structures with six primary buildings elevated on platforms above 36 the snow surface to mitigate the 1meter of annual snow accumulation and drifting. 37

Based on snow drift modeling results, to reduce snow accumulation effects from the current 38 infrastructure, the SuMR project will relocate and redevelop the station approximately 1.5 km north of the 39 current location and will continue utilizing the existing aircraft skiway (a runway made from compacted 40 snow). 41

The SuMR MF project primary scope components include: 42

Replacement of existing facilities at Summit Station through the construction of six energy efficient 43 buildings on elevated platforms configured with interconnected elevated walkways that will serve 44 the main station requirements. 45

Microgrid integrated power generation, renewable energy, energy storage and standby power. 46 Power distribution grid. 47 Wastewater and water treatment system. 48 Solid waste management minimization systems. 49 Replacement of information technology infrastructure. 50 Bulk fuel storage. 51 A new compacted snow apron/taxiway to serve the new station facilities as the area where aircraft 52 transfer passengers, cargo, and fuel. 53 Reusing, repurposing and repositioning existing facilities. 54 All SuMR MF project components shall have a minimum 30-year service life. 55

Most of the existing facilities at Summit Station will be dismantled and removed from the station. What 56 can be re-purposed at the new site will be incorporated into the new Station layout. For example, the “Big 57 House”, one of the existing facilities, will be repurposed as a clean air sector research facility and two soft-58 sided vehicle and storage shelters. 59

All SuMR project materials must be flown to Summit Station site. Transportation options include cargo 60 aircraft such as ski-equipped LC-130 aircraft, Chinook CH-47 helicopters, or air dropping from LC-130 61 and C-17 aircraft. 62

History of market surveillance, market research, and/or requirements development. The need to 63 recapitalize infrastructure at Summit Station and work toward a comprehensive plan has long been apparent. 64 Annual maintenance and incremental improvements have kept the station operational while at the same 65 time NSF has planned for wholesale recapitalization. Internal planning efforts started in earnest in 2007 66 followed by a facilitated meeting with stakeholders in 2009 that resulted in the first draft of a long-range 67 facilities plan for Summit Station. Follow-on efforts built on this draft, including planning for a new station 68 location to accommodate astrophysical observations (2011) an update to Summit Station’s Vision and Goals 69 (2012), a Summit Station Redevelopment and Scoping Document (2014), and the Draft Summit Planning 70 Document (2015) and an update to the Summit Station Vision (2017). 71

The science community played a key role providing input for development of the LRP. The SCO operates 72 the Geo-Summit website to facilitate the dissemination of comprehensive information on research and 73 research opportunities at Summit Station and the overarching vision of the Summit Station’s Long-Range 74 Plan. 75

A scientific research workshop held in 2017 validated the continued need for research infrastructure at 76 Summit Station and future infrastructure improvements to enable scientific research. In 2023, the Arctic 77 Research Support Logistics Service (ARSLS) contractor was tasked to produce the latest version of the 78 LRP to incorporate input from seven Summit Station planning workshops conducted in 2021 and to 79 benchmark planning for the SuMR MF project. 80

C.2.3 FINAL DESIGN PHASE 91

This section and the following sections describe what work the Integrator will likely perform during the 93 Final Design Phase and the Construction Stage of the SuMR MF project upon appropriate task order 94 issuance. This scope of work includes all major tasks, work elements and objectives and acceptance criteria. 95 The SuMR MF project PEP provides details of the organization and tasks necessary for successful conduct 96 of the Final Design Phase. A nominal timeline for completion of the major elements of the project is 97 included in Section C.2.7 of this Statement of Work. 98

C.2.3.1 Project Execution Plan 99

The RIG and the PEP requirements shall be incorporated by the Integrator into the SuMR MF project Final 100 Design. PEP references may define the award scope, cost, schedule, risk register, and related contingencies, 101 as well as configuration and contingency control, earned value management system, and project 102 governance. 103

Some key project management elements of the PEP include: 104

A deliverable-based Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) as described in RIG Section 4.2.2.7. 105 A Cost Estimating Plan and Cost Estimate, including a Cost Book and well-documented Basis of 106

Estimate (BOE), in accordance with FAR, RIG Section 4.2, and the GAO Cost Estimating and 107 Assessment Guide (GAO-20-195G, March 2020) that follows the GAO’s twelve steps and best 108 practices to meet the four characteristics of a high-quality estimate (well-documented, 109 comprehensive, accurate, and credible). 110

A Schedule Basis Document and Integrated Master Schedule in accordance with RIG Section 4.3 111 and the GAO Schedule Assessment Guide (GAO-16-89G, December 2015) that follows GAO’s ten 112 steps and best practices to meet the four characteristics of a reliable schedule (comprehensive, well-113 constructed, credible, and controlled). 114

Budget and Schedule Contingency calculations via probabilistic risk analysis (Monte Carlo) that 115 are based on a risk register and uncertainties, in accordance with RIG Sections 4.2.5 and 6.2, and 116 the GAO Cost and Schedule Guides. 117

An Earned Value Management System (EVMS) plan in accordance with RIG Section 6.8 and the 118 NSF EVM Gold Card that meets the intent of the 32 guidelines in the Electronic Industries Alliance 119 standard (EIA-748) for EVMS. 120

A Scope Management Plan in accordance with RIG Sections 3.4.1 and 4.2.5.1 121

Project personnel and competencies in accordance with RIG Section 4.6.6. 122

The Integrator is responsible for ensuring the overall project meets RIG and PEP guidance. Specific data 123 and documentation requirements should flow down to subcontractors to ensure sufficient supporting 124 information is provided to the Integrator to meet the overall project requirements. 125

The following is an excerpt from the NSF RIG that describes the purpose and scope of the PEP. 128

Typical components of a construction-ready Project Execution Plan (PEP) are listed in Table 129 3.4.1-1 of the RIG as an example of the extensive nature of the pre-construction planning that 130 should be conducted prior to expending construction funds to execute the project. Some topics will 131 continue to be refined during the Construction Stage, for example, Commissioning Plans and 132 related sub-plans. 133

The PEP should ideally contain or reference all project related documents and be the standalone 134 source explaining how and why the project meets all requirements and should proceed as planned. 135 Various components of the PEP may often be detailed in separate documents or as appendices, 136 especially, living documents for future operations such as cybersecurity and data management 137 plans. The PEP should reference these separate documents to summarize the complete scope of the 138 pre-construction planning. In addition to referencing these separate plans, the PEP should provide 139 a high-level summary, outline the associated goals, and/or identified responsibility for the specific 140 plan. 141

It is important for the PEP to document all assumptions and boundary conditions driving project 142 design and implementation. Additions or alterations to the typical PEP components listed below 143 are likely, due to the unique nature of each specific project. Any special construction elements 144 should be identified and addressed in the PEP or a separate document such as the work breakdown 145 structure dictionary or design requirements, drawings, and specification documents. 146

C.2.3.2 Final Design Development 147

a. Preliminary Design and Final Design Drawings and Specifications 148

The Integrator shall conduct a competitive selection of a Design Agent for the SuMR MF project Final 149 Design. The Integrator shall develop a SuMR MF project Design Services Scope of Work and a Project 150 Definition Document based on the 60 percent preliminary design and Summit Station’s Long Range 151 Plan. The Integrator shall use these documents in the competitive selection of the Design Agent. 152

Design Agent selection criteria shall be approved by NSF and shall be based on a best value evaluation 153 of Design Agent qualifications. 154

The SuMR MF project Final Design (Bid Design) shall be completed by the Integrator building on the 155 Preliminary Design documentation for the SuMR MF project construction specifications. The 156 Preliminary Design and PEP are currently being worked on by a separate Design Agent. NSF will 157 provide the Integrator with the 60 percent Preliminary Design documentation, Long Range Plan and 158 draft PEP. 159

The Integrator shall work concurrently the Bid Design and PEP. The PEP shall be finalized by the 160 Integrator to include all the information required by the NSF’s Research Infrastructure Guide and the 161 information derived from the Final Design. 162

Division (Level 1) Divisions serve as the highest level of the hierarchy. As detailed above, 206 MasterFormat consists of 50 divisions, each of which refers to a specific part of construction. Most 207 recently updated in 2020, the divisions are numbered from 00 to 49. Some of these are currently unused 208 to allow for potential future developments as the construction industry evolves. 209

Section (Level 2) Each division is then further divided into multiple sections which cover specific 210 aspects of work within that division. For example, “Division 05 Metal” is broken into sections “05 10 211 00 Structural Metal Framing,” “05 20 00 Metal Joists,” “05 30 00 Metal Decking,” and others. 212

Subsection (Level 3) Sections are further segmented into subsections, which provide additional 213 information regarding specificity of the work. For example, “05 10 00 Structural Metal Framing” is 214 partitioned into “05 12 00 Structural Steel Framing,” “05 13 00 Structural Stainless-Steel Framing,” 215 “05 14 00 Structural Aluminum Framing,” or “05 15 00 Wire Rope Assemblies.” Subsections allow 216 for a more detailed categorization as they provide a more precise classification within that broader 217 scope of work. 218

b. System Engineering 219

In conjunction with design activities, a robust system engineering process is required to ensure proper 220 requirements tracking and configuration control as defined in the System Engineering Requirements 221 of the PEP.
