4. Project Description, Justification, and Scope
This project provides for Architect-Engineering (A-E) services for National Nuclear Security
Administration (NNSA) construction projects, allowing designated projects to proceed from conceptual
design into preliminary design and final design. The design effort will be sufficient to assure project
feasibility, define the scope, provide detailed estimates of construction costs based on the approved
design and working drawings and specifications, and provide construction schedules, including
procurements. The designs will be extensive enough to establish performance baselines and to support
construction or long-lead procurements in the fiscal year in which line item construction funding is
requested and appropriated.
Conceptual design studies are prepared for each project using Operations and Maintenance (O&M)
funds prior to receiving design funding under a PED line item. These conceptual design studies define
the scope of the project and produce a rough cost estimate and schedule.
The PED design projects are described below. While not anticipated, some changes may occur due to
continuing conceptual design studies or developments occurring after submission of this data sheet.
These changes will be reflected in subsequent years. Preliminary estimates for the cost of preliminary
and final design and engineering efforts for each subproject are provided. The final TEC and the Total
Project Cost (TPC) for the project described below will be validated and the Performance Baseline will
be established at Critical Decision 2 (CD-2), following completion of preliminary design.
Funds appropriated under this data sheet may be used to provide independent assessments of the
planning and execution of this project.
The project is being conducted in accordance with the project management requirements in DOE
O 413.3B, Program and Project Management for the Acquisition of Capital Assets, and all appropriate
project management requirements have been met or will be met.
