Project Title: Utilities Infrastructure Modernization
Lead Program and Project Office: Science Laboratories Infrastructure, Office of Science
Total Project Cost Range (TPC): $25.0 Million (M) - $29.9 M
Total Estimated Cost Range (TEC): $24.3 Million (M) - $29.2 M
Critical Decision (CD)-0 Mission Need Approval: The Director of Science, William F.
Brinkman, approved the CD-0 for the Utilities Infrastructure Modernization Project on
September 18, 2009. The scope is unchanged since that approval. Consistent with the
approach at CD-0, the concept included upgrades and expansion of cryogenic, electrical
power distribution, cooling water, and communication systems. This concept will address
the mission needs identified in the CD-0, which were to address the aging of existing utility
systems including the TJNAF cryogenic, power distribution, cooling water, and
communication systems. These systems are no longer adequate to support SC mission
requirements for the ongoing program as well as research development and production of
critical components for current and future projects.
1. DESIRED OUTCOME AND REQUIREMENTS DEFINITION
1.1. Project Description, Objective, and Scope
The mission of the Office of Science’s Nuclear Physics (NP) program at the
Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (TJNAF or JLab) is to explore the
quark structure of matter. In pursuit of this mission, the Continuous Electron
Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) is used to conduct user driven research into
how nucleons are built from quarks and gluons, and how this structure leads to
the standard model-based picture of the nucleus.
The Utility Infrastructure Modernization (UIM) project is critical to the mission
of JLab and will include upgrades and expansion of cryogenic, electrical power
distribution, cooling water, and communication systems. Major elements of the
design are discussed below.
The key component of the cryogenic system that needs to be expanded and
better integrated is the Cryogenic Test Facility (CTF). The CTF building is
undersized for the current equipment and piping, and the current capacity is
inadequate to serve the load in the Test Lab. An expansion of the current
building will address the current overcrowding of system components and
allow for installation of additional equipment to meet the Test Lab demand. An
adequately sized building will allow installation of cryogenic equipment that
will double the cryogenic capacity with no resulting increase in energy
consumption.
2
Upgrades and expansion of the electrical power distribution system will include
replacement of primary and secondary feeders to approximately 26 substations
that are currently beginning to experience conductor failures. The system will
be expanded to ensure redundancy by increasing the site alternate power feed
from 400 Amps to 1200 Amps. This will be sufficient backup to the primary
feed to allow restart of the CHL in the event of a failure in the primary feed.
Cooling water upgrades will include replacement of up to 9 existing cooling
towers that are 20 to 40 years old. The replacement cooling towers will have
increased capacity and will be co-located to allow greater efficiency and
redundancy. This will also reduce replacement, maintenance, and energy costs.
Communication system upgrades will include replacement of 20 to 40 year old
underground communication and data cabling by providing distributed
communication huts with a new underground distribution pathway. This will
include a fiber optic backbone with approximately 630 miles of fiber optic cable
and 40 miles of building computer cable. State of the art telephone support
systems and an emergency broadcast system will also be provided.
1.2. Mission Need
Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (TJNAF) is a Department of
Energy (DOE), Office of Science (SC) Laboratory that supports a growing
national and international community of scientific users conducting forefront
science, applying core competencies to advance science and national goals,
producing annually one third of our nation’s nuclear physics PhDs, and
enhancing math and science education for our community in support of the DOE
mission. TJNAF has a central and unique role in the field of nuclear physics, both
in the U.S. and worldwide. TJNAF’s present and future program relies on
maintaining its role as the world leader in hadronic physics and
superconducting accelerator technologies.
The TJNAF cryogenic, power distribution, cooling water, and communication
systems are experiencing failure at increasing frequencies and have insufficient
capacity to meet current and forecasted need. This project is needed to address
performance gaps in respect to providing a work environment that meets safety
goals, current code standards and operational efficiency goals.
The current utility system gaps at TJNAF jeopardize its capability to provide the
unique competencies to deliver its mission, to perform a complementary role
within the DOE laboratory system, and to attain the vision for scientific
excellence and pre-eminence in the structure of nuclear building blocks, the
underlying quark-gluon structure of the nucleus; and symmetry tests including
the weak charge of the proton to test predictions of the Standard Model. In
addition, these gaps jeopardize TJNAF’s capability to contribute to enabling
technologies and emerging fields in photon science and electron-light ion
colliders including advance radiofrequency superconductivity, 2K cryogenic
3
engineering technology, photon science, advanced high power free electron
lasers, energy recovering linacs (ERLs), and electron-light ion collisions at ultra-
high luminosity. These enabling technologies also support the ongoing research
programs and projects at TJNAF including 6 GeV, 12 GeV, and the Free Electron
Laser as well as other DOE national and international projects including SNS,
FRIB, EIC, APS, and ILC.
The cryogenic, power distribution, cooling water, and communication systems
are 20 to 40 years old. The cryogenic system has insufficient capacity and
despite significant gains over the past several years on significantly improving
the efficiency of major system components, there remains a need for overall
system efficiency optimization. Currently the cryogenic capacity is inadequate to
support the needs in the Test Lab which is the key facility for Superconducting
Radiofrequency (SRF) development and production activities. The lack of
adequate cryogenic capacity is a limiting factor on scheduling SRF activities.
Cryogenic system operation at TJNAF accounts for over 90% of annual
electricity costs. Therefore efficiency gains in this system will significantly
contribute to a reduction in overall operating costs. Electricity energy savings
from an upgrade to the Cryogenic Test Facility (CTF), a key component in the
cryogenic system, are estimated to be 36%.
The capacity of the power distribution system is currently taxed to its limit and
will not support future projected needs. The power distribution system does not
have the necessary redundancy to maintain operation of critical systems during
partial power outages. The most critical element of this gap is the inability to
restart the Central Helium Liquefier (CHL) from the alternate power feed when
the primary feed has an outage. The CHL is the largest component in the site
cryogenic system and critical to maintaining constant cryogenic temperatures in
the accelerator cryomodules necessary to prevent degradation of accelerator
performance and costly repairs. Electric feeders are at the end of their service
life and are near failing. Insulation cracks have been observed on multiple
feeders. Recent interruption to accelerator operation due to failed components
of the electrical supply heightens this concern.
The cooling water distribution system is suffering frequent failures and has
insufficient capacity to support optimal experimental program scheduling,
computer center heat loads, and future expected growth. Over the past year
failure of the cooling water distribution system has caused several weeks of
down time for the Free Electron Laser facility. Cooling towers are well past their
efficient life cycle utilization and are requiring ever increasing amounts of
maintenance. In addition, there is an estimated energy savings from addressing
this gap of 10%. The computer center cooling and uninterruptable power
supply (UPS) capacity is insufficient to meet the Lab’s growing computing
requirements. A planned central chiller plant will be expanded to handle the
cooling load and additional UPS requirements.
4
Subsurface communications systems are outdated and unreliable. Because some
of these systems are over 40 years old replacement components are often
unavailable. Phone switch parts are difficult to locate and no additional cabling
capacity is available for telecommunications or data lines. Inadequate capacity is
impacting the ability to install communications to support staff growth and
replace degraded cables as necessary. This equipment has reached the end of its
life cycle. Consequently, instances of phone outages are impacting the efficiency
of operations. The underground copper wiring is also past its service life. In
addition, installation of an Emergency Broadcast System is necessary to meet
safety goals and improve efficiency of response.
These capabilities are essential to operation of TJNAF. Universities have
historically come to TJNAF for support because of the unique SRF production
capabilities at the Laboratory. Similarly commercial availability for SRF is
limited because of the intermittent nature and relatively small quantities of SRF
components that are needed nationally. When possible, commercial production
capability is used.
1.3. Performance Parameters Required to Obtain Desired Outcome.
The desired outcome will be obtained when the following work as outlined in
Section 1.1 above is completed in accordance with the contact drawings and
specifications, safety requirements and within the approved schedule and cost
baseline.
The Cryogenics Test Facility will be expanded and upgraded to allow
installation of cryogenic equipment that will increase the current cryogenic
capacity to meet current and projected mission needs. The electrical power
distribution system will be upgraded and modernized through replacement of
primary and secondary feeders to approximately 26 substations that are
currently beginning to experience conductor failures. The system will be
expanded to ensure redundancy by increasing the site alternate power feed to
allow restart of the CHL in the event of a failure in the primary feed. Process
cooling systems will be upgraded through replacement of up to 9 existing
cooling towers. The replacement cooling towers will have increased capacity
and will be co-located to allow greater efficiency and redundancy.
Communication system upgrades will include replacement of 20 to 40 year old
underground communication and data cabling by providing distributed
communication huts with a new underground distribution pathway. This will
include a fiber optic backbone, state of the art telephone support systems and
an emergency broadcast system will also be provided.

3. MAJOR APPLICABLE CONDITIONS
3.1. Environmental, Regulatory and Political Sensitivities
There are no environmental, regulatory or other institutional sensitivities that
would significantly impact the UIM Project. All work done at JLab will be in
accordance with Federal, State and local guidelines. Regulatory permits for
storm water pollution prevention will be filed with the appropriate agencies
prior to the on-site construction/modification work. Safety will be integrated
into all aspects of work performed at JLab per its DOE-approved Integrated
Safety Management Program. A Preliminary Hazard Assessment has been
prepared for this project.
The environmental risk is low. The project will comply with all requirements of
the NEPA and its implementing regulations.
3.2. Pollution Prevention Plans
TJNAF has a DOE approved Environmental Management System (EMS), and
construction requirements flow down to contractors and subcontractors from
the EMS. Oversight of construction activities is conducted by the Management
and Operating (M&O) contractor, Jefferson Science Associates, LLC, to ensure
subcontractors are in compliance with these requirements. Material that can be
recycled will not be disposed of in landfills, and new materials used will be
specified to contain the maximum amounts of recycled content practical.
7
3.3. Security
The project construction areas will be isolated into controlled areas during
construction. The construction area will be fenced and restricted to authorized
personnel only with appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
requirements enforced for entry in accordance with DOE and OSHA
requirements. Access to the construction areas will be monitored by JLab
security, the General Contractor and the UIM Project Management Team.
After construction is complete access to these facilities will be controlled in
accordance with JLab access control policies and procedures. These include
training requirements and proximity card access control. Security requirements
for this project will be coordinated with JLab’s Security Officer and the DOE
Thomas Jefferson Site Office (TJSO).
There are no additional laws, agreements, or other factors to significantly
influence this project.
3.4. Technology and Research and Development
There are no technology, engineering, or research and development equipment
issues that have been identified that could adversely affect this project.
3.5. Environmental Sustainable Design
Decisions regarding the planning, acquisition, siting, design, building, operating,
and maintaining the proposed new improvements will be based on the DOE
Guiding Principles of High Performance and Sustainable Buildings. New
equipment and systems will be selected to maximize energy efficiency and
“green” building technologies.
3.6. Safety and Health
ES&H issues of the proposed construction are typical of standard industry
construction. ES&H integration will occur at all levels of design and
construction.
The proposed project will be performed under the M&O’s Integrated Safety
Management System encompassing the Federal Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) 29 Code of Federal Regulations 1926, Subpart C, to
ensure protection of workers, the public, and the environment. Integrated
Safety Management will be implemented into management and work process
planning at all levels.
After construction is complete these facilities and improvements will be
managed under the JLab Environment, Safety and Health policies and
procedures as set forth in the JLab ES&H Manual and current Integrated Safety
Management policies and procedures as set forth in the JLab Integrated Safety
Management System Program documentation.
8
3.7. Funding
The funding range is supported by a project estimate that includes contingency.
The estimate was prepared by an estimator working for the architect retained to
assist in the conceptual design report preparation. The estimator retained by
the architect specializes in construction cost planning and worked closely with
the architects and engineers. The estimate is based on information provided by
the architect and engineers. The basis of the estimate is a combination of
vendor quotes, use of historical cost data and data obtained from RS Means and
was verified against projects of a similar nature. The actual project cost is
expected to be within the estimated cost range.
The estimate is based on receipt of funding as shown in Section 2.2, Table 2
(Funding Profile).
4. RISK AND ALTERNATIVES
4.1. Risk Management
The project risk management plan will address risks for the entire scope and life
cycle of the project, including both internal and external influences. Risk
analysis processes, conclusions and strategies will be completed during the
preparation of the Conceptual Design Report.
One overarching risk factor that has been identified for this project is the risk
associated with the funding profile constraints. This risk drives the planned
acquisition approach as discussed briefly in Section 5.5. The other major risks
identified at this point include the following.
The construction bids that are received are much higher than the
estimated cost due to market conditions and/or inadequate competition.
Escalation of labor costs and material prices is higher than estimated.
Excessive project changes result in increased cost and schedule.
The construction activities are not performed safely resulting in injury
or death of a worker.
The predominant consequence of these risks is a potential for cost and schedule
increases. In order to manage these risks, the following mitigation activities will
be taken by the project.
Implement the approved business and acquisition approach as described
in Section 5 to reduce the likelihood of unexpected high construction
bids.
Monitor and trend all deviations against the Performance Management
Baseline once established, quantify any cost impact of the residual risk,
9
and include in the project cost estimate. Utilize a Project Baseline
Change Control Board to review and disposition proposed change
orders.
Stress the importance of safe work practices, and monitor contractor
performance to ensure safe work practices are followed.
A preliminary Risk Management Plan with Risk Registry will be prepared prior
to CD-1. Risk identification and analysis will be continued throughout the
planning and execution processes. Each of the identified risks will be monitored
to ensure they have been satisfactorily addressed, eliminated or managed. The
project team will work to ensure all necessary resources are available to
implement identified mitigation strategies
4.2. Technical Alternative Analysis
Jefferson Lab is need of modernized laboratory infrastructure to support the
growth and continued operations at the lab. Two alternatives are available for
obtaining the required infrastructure improvements; Expand CTF & Modernize
Site Utilities (Alternative #1); or constructing new CTF, Aluminum Elect, and
Decentralize Computer Center Cooling (alternative #2). For the basis of this
analysis the ‘do nothing” approach (Alternative #3) was not considered viable
because of safety concerns and because this would have serious impacts on the
ability of the Lab to fulfill its mission. Although Alternative 2 would provide the
improvements needed, it is not the most life cycle cost effective approach. The
advantages and disadvantages for each of the three alternatives were
considered and described below.
Alternate 1 – Expand CTF & Modernize Site Utilities Alternate 2 – New CTF, Aluminum Elect, Decentralize Computer Center Cooling
Alternate 3 - Status Quo (Continue operations of the existing systems under
current conditions and procedures)
Alternative 1 – Expand CTF & Modernize Site Utilities: This is the
recommended alternative. This is the most cost effective solution to providing
JLab with upgraded utilities
Alternative 2 – New CTF, Aluminum Elect, Decentralize Computer Center
Cooling: This alternative is not recommended. A new CTF will be constructed
in lieu up upgrading the existing. Aluminum conductors will be used to replace
the existing in lieu of copper. This option has a higher life cycle cost without
providing any additional benefit.
Alternative 3 – Do Nothing: This alternative is not recommended. The utilities
are at the end of their life cycle and would need to be replaced under emergency
conditions. The additional capacity made available through the Computer
Center cooling would not be available
10
The above clearly shows that the best alternative to fulfill the mission of JLab is
to pursue alternative 1 – Expand CTF & Modernize Site Utilities.
4.3. Economic Analysis
An economic analysis was performed to evaluate the life cycle costs (LCC) of
Alternative #1 and Alternative #2 described above. For the purpose of this
evaluation the following cash flow data was considered: capital investment
costs, repair costs, energy consumption costs and costs associated with
productivity loss and opportunity loss. Building Life-Cycle Cost (BLCC) software
(specifically BLCC5) from the National Institute of Standards and Technology
was used for this life cycle cost analysis. The evaluation results for the
alternatives are summarized in the following Table.
Alternative #1 Alternative #2 Alternative #3
Total Life Cycle Cost $53,618,000 $58,371,000 $75,945,000
Table 4 - LCC Analysis Present Value Results for Alternatives
Alternative #1 has the lowest life cycle cost when compared against alternative #2 and alternative #3.
The evaluation shows that there is significant saving to be gained from pursuing
alternative #1. The $29.9 million investment for construction and renovation
will result in cost and productivity savings over the 50 year evaluation period.
The return on investment is estimated to be 3.93% and the simple payback is
expected to be 15 years.
5. BUSINESS AND ACQUISITION APPROACH
5.1. Acquisition and Contract Types
Acquisition for this project will be performed by JLab. JLab’s standard procurement practice is to use firm fixed-price purchase orders and subcontracts for supplies, equipment and services, and to make awards through competitive solicitations. Drawings and commercial specifications will be sufficiently detailed to allow prospective small business design and construction firms to effectively participate in most UIM procurements. This practice was employed during the design and construction of prior projects at JLab and has proven to be very effective for the projects as well as for small business vendors.
As appropriate, critical procurements will be evaluated according to pre-defined criteria for ranking prospective vendors competing for an award. An evaluation plan will include a technical review of each proposal as well as a review of business and cost factors (e.g., past performance, management, and environment, health and safety factors).
11
5.2 Incentives
All major construction subcontracts for work at the Laboratory site will include
penalty provisions for environment, health and safety factors. Other
performance incentives are not planned. A performance measure has been
established in the JLab PEMP for the Department’s M&O Contract with (DE-
AC05-06OR623177) to reinforce cost and schedule performance expectations.
The A-E subcontract will include a ‘Design-to-Cost’ clause which holds the A-E
responsible for redesign should the construction bids be higher that estimated.
5.3 Competition
The cost reduction benefits of competition will be promoted and maintained
throughout all phases of the project. JLab will issue firm fixed price competitive
solicitations. Sourcing will also be enhanced through use of JLab’s Vendor Portal
system (an extensive web-based vendor database accessible by JLab staff) and
major solicitation(s) will be communicated via posting on JLab’s web-based
Solicitation Bulletin Board.
5.4 Other Procurement Considerations
TJSO and JLab are committed to conduct work in accordance with the highest
regard for safety and the environment. Accordingly, all work at the JLab site will
require completion of JLab safety training as well as the vendor’s assurance that
safety will not be compromised in the interest of cost or schedule.
JLab will advance procurement opportunities for DOE’s Small Business Program
and Affirmative Procurement Program to the maximum extent practicable in
accordance with JLab’s approved Small Business Subcontracting Plan.
Procurement requirements will include status reporting requirements, the
extent of which will be determined by the scope and value of the procurement.
Major project procurements will require general management,
schedule/labor/cost, exception, performance, financial and technical status
reports which are consistent with this type of procurement. The type
(technical/cost/schedule) and frequency of progress information and the
follow-up required will depend upon such factors as the complexity of the
procurement and its significance within the project. This progress information
will be augmented as needed with on-site vendor visits.
5.5 Risk
The approach presented in section 5.1 for acquisition is considered to have the
least risk. The primary factor driving this acquisition approach is the
constraints of the funding profile. Phasing of the work and award of multiple
12
subcontracts will most effectively mitigate risk of project cost and schedule
overruns.

The membership, roles, and responsibilities of the IPT are defined in the IPT
Charter. The Project Execution Plan will serve as the primary management tool
for the FPD in executing the project.
The FPD will work closely with the program manager for this project to assure
that the project execution is consistent with program goals and objectives, and
to ensure the Acquisition Executive and appropriate DOE Headquarters
personnel are apprised of the project status.
6.2 Approach to Earned Value
The TJSO UIM Federal Project Director (FPD) will monitor the project
performance against the technical, cost and schedule baselines through regular
project reviews, and in-depth reviews as needed. ES&H and quality assurance
performance will also be monitored by conducting periodic field observations,
using subject matter experts as necessary. The FPD will measure and evaluate
progress against the project goals and milestones, budgets, and schedule, and
give advance warning of trends, deviations and other problems to facilitate
timely corrective actions that will minimize impacts on cost, schedule and
quality.
The UIM FPD will provide quarterly reports on the UIM project to the
Acquisition Executive and monthly updates to the Project Assessment and
Reporting System (PARS). In addition, the IPT core members will hold routine
progress conference calls with the program manager. JLab will provide formal
monthly reports to the FPD.
The WBS will be described in the preliminary Project Execution Plan (PEP). The
generation of a resource-loaded schedule will be completed by CD-2.
The Change Control process will be documented in the preliminary PEP as a part
of CD-1. Control levels for the project baseline elements will be defined in a
hierarchical manner that provides change control authority at the appropriate

6.3 Interdependencies and Interfaces
The primary acquisition interdependencies/interfaces for this project will be
between JLab and its subcontractors. These will be managed by the UIM JLab
Project Manager through contract terms and conditions that include defining
appropriate interface relationships and performance requirements, project
delivery expectations, and use of subcontractor reporting systems.
Planning for this project is being closely coordinated with the JLab Project
Management and Integration group to ensure that this project does not interfere
14
with ongoing operations at the Lab nor does it interfere with work associated
with the 12GeV or TEDF project schedules.
