November 5, 2026- Amendment 1 issued to clarify timne and location of the Pre-Proposal Meeting.

This scope of work is to rebuild and renovate the Kautz Road Substation (KRS), which is UIP subproject SP-2. The KRS supplies electricity to various lab buildings and systems. These systems serve both conventional facility needs, as well as process utility requirements. It is vital to Fermilab’s mission that KRS be revitalized and expanded, ensuring the ability to serve existing and future loads.

The General contractor shall furnish all required supervision, labor, materials, tools, plant and appurtenances necessary to perform diligently and fully all work as described in the drawings and technical specifications. All work includes transportation, overhead, bonding costs, safety oversight, quality control oversight, and supervision as required to construct the project described in the drawings, technical specification and the detailed description contained herein.

The critical schedule constraint for construction of this project is Fermilab’s accelerator shutdown, with an anticipated scheduled start on January 1, 2028, and anticipated end date of January 1, 2030- these dates may change depending on the needs of the Lab.  The General Contractor must start their on-site efforts, and complete the construction scope under this contract, within the shutdown window.
