1 Introduction and Overview

This Statement of Work outlines the requirements for establishing a design-build contract for the SLAC Substation 515 Upgrade Project. The intent of this document is to provide the prospective design-bid-build subcontractor(s) with a basic insight into the type and magnitude of the project, safety compliance issues, and technical and project management requirements.

2 Purpose

The purpose of this project is to address the subcontract for the Substation 515 Upgrade near SLAC Building 140. This substation supports Building 140 which houses the SPEAR3 Injector. SLAC Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory (SSRL) requires full operation of the substation to deliver beam to the SLAC SPEAR3 synchrotron storage ring and meet the mission needs of SSRL and its users. The substation's existing 12k.47kV-480/277V transformer (XFMR) A5K and Low Voltage (LV) switchboard (SWBD) 4DPTXA5K

need replacement and retrofil. The duration to demolish existing and install new equipment are constrained by the SSRL User Run and is to occur during the scheduled summer down time when no beam is being delivered to SPEAR3. The completed power system delivery time is crucial to coordinate and align with SSRL's operation schedule.

3 Location

Perform onsite support work outlined in this SOW at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, 2575 Sand Hill Road, Menlo Park, San Mateo County, 94025, California, at the specified location.

***The Period of Performance for this project is estimated for construction to begin around late June 2025 and is estimated for construction to complete around September/October 2025.

SLAC is seeking qualified and experienced General Contractors for the upcoming SSRL S515 Upgrade RFP. Potential bidders will need to meet all necessary criteria outlined in the Statement of Qualifications in Section L of the DRAFT RFP.

• Neither the Offeror’s firm, nor any of its owners or officers have been convicted of a crime involving the awarding of the contract of a government (U.S. Federal, State, and City) construction project, or the bidding or performance of a government contract;

• Offeror has an established local office for a minimum of 2 years in the San Francisco Bay Area. The San Francisco Bay Area is defined as the following 10 counties: Santa Clara, San Mateo, San Francisco, Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, Sonoma, Solano, and Santa Cruz Counties;

SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC) is operated by Stanford University as a contractor for the United States Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science (SC). SLAC supports a large national and international community of scientific users performing innovative research in support of the DOE mission. Success of that mission is directly coupled to the general purpose infrastructure necessary to conduct this research. At SLAC, the accomplishment of that mission is currently at risk given substandard

buildings that do not provide the appropriate environment to conduct world-class science or the supporting Management and

Operations (M&O) functions.
