Critical Utility Revitalization Project (CURP)

Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) is a multi-program laboratory with recognized impact on national science needs.  BNL provides scientific leadership in Nuclear Physics, Photon Sciences, Energy Science for Basic Energy Sciences, and data-driven discovery for Advanced Scientific Computing Research, with leading programs in selected areas of High Energy Physics, Biological  and Environmental Research, Accelerator Science and Technology, and National Security and Nonproliferation.  BNL utilizes world-class facilities and core expertise to: advance energy and environment-related basic research and apply them to 21st Century problems of critical importance to the Nation; and advance fundamental research in nuclear and particle physics to gain a deeper understanding of matter, energy, space, and time.Although there has been substantial investment in recent years to modernize and construct new research facilities at BNL, much of BNL’s utility infrastructure serving these facilities is

over 50 years old and some is over 70 years old, dating to BNL’s origin as a U. S. Army base during World Wars I and II.  The utilities are aging and suffer from decreased reliability, lack of redundancy and limitations in capacity.  Key portions of the water, steam and condensate, electrical, sanitary, and chilled water utilities are beyond their useful life and substantial investment is needed to assure reliable service, meet capacity requirements and enable readiness of facilities critical to the research mission.The Critical Utilities Revitalization Project (CURP) will revitalize and upgrade critical utilities to ensure the success and mission capability of BNL’s research facilities is an efficient, maintainable and reliable infrastructure which includes all the major utility systems in support of research that operates 24/7, 365 days per year. To maintain the mission, there is a need to revitalize and selectively upgrade BNL’s existing major utility systems including steam, water, sanitary sewer, chilled water, and electrical systems. These utility systems directly support the entire array of Office of Science facilities and sponsors at BNL.This project will be solicited as a Design Build project with a cost capacity of $45M USD. The addached documents (Exhibits A-H) are for referance only, final documents will be released at the time of solicitation. Please do not submit questions regarding Exhibits A-H documents at this time.
