Department of Energy FY 2012 Congressional ... - The FIRE Place

and available for demolition since it also contains depleted uranium manufacturing facilities; ongoing
modernization plans for Y-12 are considering further consolidation of non-Special Nuclear Material
(SNM) manufacturing functions and determine the potential for the demolition of Buildings 9215 and
9998 as well as the possible reuse of Building 9204-2E. Accordingly, NNSA does not intend to
provide funding for the UPF D&D within the Integrated Construction Program Plan (ICPP).
The project will meet the requirement to eliminate facilities of an equivalent size of UPF as required by
the FY 2002 Energy and Water Development Appropriations Bill conference Report (107-258) by using
Y-12’s “banked excess.” Y-12’s confirmed “banked excess” balance, which was reported July 28, 2010,
is 815,768 square feet. It is anticipated that at the time UPF goes on line the square footage that can be
released for future demolition is twice the square footage of the UPF.
10. Acquisition Approach
The Management and Operating (M&O) contractor for Y-12 under the leadership and direction of the
Y-12 Site Office Federal Project Director and the Federal Integrated Project Team will be responsible
for the execution of the project. The Office of Defense Programs is the responsible NNSA organization.
The UPF will be executed under a design-bid-build project delivery system in which the design will be
performed by one or more Architect-Engineers (A-E’s) and construction will be performed by multiple
fixed-price Construction Contractors (CC’s). Both the A-E’s and CC’s will be subcontracted through
the M&O contractor.
To the extent practical, subcontracts for Title I & II design services, and Title III engineering services
will be competitively bid, cost-type subcontracts that are awarded on the basis of best value-based to
the Government.
To the extent practical, all construction work and procurements will be accomplished under
competitively bid, fixed-price subcontracts. The CC’s will be responsible for execution of all
construction including site preparation, building construction, equipment installation and contractor
acceptance testing.
The M&O contractor will provide project management, administer the A-E and CC subcontracts, act as
the design authority for UPF systems, provide designated Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) for
code interpretations, provide technical support to NNSA for the preparation and review of NEPA
documentation, prepare construction and operating permit applications, provide technical and
operational support to, and oversight of the A-E and CC manager, and be responsible for all
commissioning and start-up activities. The M&O contractor may also do limited design and
procurement of unique or specialty type equipment. The M&O contractor will provide maintenance
support to the CC as required to accomplish tie-ins to existing plant systems and will provide health and
safety oversight of the CC and his subcontractors.
