- A/E Announcement AE Solicitation No. 5199 Building 84 Center for Isotope Geochemistry (B84 CIG Renovation) The University of California, Ernest Orlando Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), which is operated under a Prime Contract DE-AC02-05CH11231 with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), intends to subcontract for Professional Architectural/Engineering (AE) services for the Building 84 CIG Renovation Project. The construction cost for the project is estimated to be $4.1 million. This is not a request for quotation. It is an announcement for subcontracting opportunities with the University of California. Interested firms are encouraged to submit qualifications as indicated herein. A. PROJECT SCOPE SUMMARY The AE firm will provide design services for the LBNL Building 84 Center for Isotope Geochemistry Renovation Project (B84 CIG Project). This Project will consist of the following: 1. Reprogramming and upgrading of approximately 5,750 sf of the second and third floor labs of Building 84 into Class 1,000 clean rooms, a Class 10,000 mass spectrometry lab and general purpose labs. Building 84 is an existing general purpose lab building constructed about 20 years ago. The work will include selective demolition of interior finishes, lab equipment, walls and utilities and construction of new clean rooms and labs, including related structural, mechanical, controls, electrical, life safety and equipment upgrades within an occupied building. B. SCOPE OF SERVICES The work includes, but is not limited to, professional architectural engineering services based on a previously approved conceptual design, including: 1. Preliminary and final designs, including drawings, specifications and calculations. We anticipate hiring the General Contractor early in the design process and our intent is to have the General Contractor assist in the design process to streamline the construction phase. 2. Professional design support services during the construction phase. The University does not guarantee that any subcontract will be awarded as a result of this announcement and reserves the right to award a subcontract for only a portion of the work described. C.
