Description

This solicitation calls for a firm‑fixed‑price subcontract to design‑build, construct, and commission an addition and extensive renovation of the Central Utility Building (CUB) at Fermilab. The work includes structural expansion, installation of large‑capacity chillers, medium‑voltage electrical equipment, mechanical‑electrical‑plumbing upgrades, site utility extensions, and associated civil works, all to be completed within the accelerator shutdown window (early 2028 – early 2030). The contractor must provide all labor, materials, safety and quality oversight, comply with DOE and FAR requirements, and meet rigorous bonding, insurance, and Davis‑Bacon wage rules. • Scope covers demolition, new foundation, structural steel, façade, roofing, HVAC, fire‑protection, low‑ and medium‑voltage power, and site‑utility upgrades. • Mandatory pre‑proposal site‑visit access request (7 days prior) and a submission deadline of 4 p.m. CT on 17 Nov 2026. • Performance must align with a tight construction schedule tied to Fermilab’s accelerator shutdown, with milestones culminating by September 2029.

Budget estimate

$50,000,000 – $150,000,000

The solicitation does not disclose a contract ceiling, but comparable DOE industrial‑facility construction projects of this scale (≈ 50 – 150 million USD) suggest a likely award value in the low‑ to mid‑hundreds of millions. Factors influencing the range include the extensive mechanical‑electrical scope, the need for high‑capacity chillers and MV equipment, stringent safety/quality requirements, and the requirement for performance and payment bonds. A conservative estimate is $50 M – $150 M.
