**Descriptions of Lab Proposed Modernization Projects**

Note: the projects described below are the laboratory's planned
modernization projects from their 2002 update of their Strategic
Facilities Plan. Programmatic projects are not included. This listing is
not to be considered SC's Lab Infrastructure Modernization Plan. A table
of these projects is also available from SC-82.

**AMES LAB**

[The Emerging Technologies Building]{.underline} (TEC \$26M, FY06
start) - Construction of a building (The Emerging Technologies Building)
will be required to house the proposed new initiatives. The building
site will be convenient to the other Ames Laboratory buildings and
various ISU buildings in which many of the scientific groups that will
interact with the staff of these proposed initiatives are presently
located.

**Fermi**

[High Voltage Distribution System Upgrades]{.underline} (TEC \$11M, FY05
start) will upgrade critical portions of the high voltage distribution
system that powers accelerators and support facilities throughout the
site. Upgrade system to meet current safety standards, improve
reliability and performance, provide flexibility and reduce maintenance
costs. Replace 2.4 miles 345kV, 340 MVA incoming poles and conductors
and over 9 miles 13.8kV, 750 MCM underground feeders and switches. 31
failures related to these feeders have disrupted accelerator operations
with the potential for loss of liquefied helium a total of 17 times in
the last decade.

[Advanced Manufacturing Facility Phase I]{.underline} (TEC \$14M, FY06
start) will consolidate Technical Division machine shop functions into a
new 18,000 sq. ft. high bay structure adjacent to the current industrial
area and add 13,500 sq. ft. of tech and office space to the existing
IB-3 building for super conducting magnets and accelerator component
R&D. This is the first of a two-stage master plan that will allow for
consolidation of all Technical Division machine shops into one central
facility. After completion of both phases, workers would be relocated
into modern, energy efficient "green" buildings and 60,000 sq. ft. of
existing structures will be demolished.

[Advanced Manufacturing Facility Phase II]{.underline} (TEC \$16M, FY07
start) is the second phase of a project that will consolidate all
Technical Division machine shops into one central facility adjacent to
the current industrial area. A new 18,000 sq.ft. high bay structure and
13,500 sq. ft. low bay link will connect to the Phase I high bay
building. The potential benefits of the AMF include increased
operational efficiency, increased productivity, avoided energy and
maintenance costs.

[Beams Division Consolidation]{.underline} (TEC \$13M, FY08 start) will
provide for the consolidation of approximately 70 Beams Division
administrative/engineering personnel in refurbished ground floor and new
mezzanine space in the central administrative building, Wilson Hall.
This location is near other critical functions; division offices,
directorate, accelerator control room, and provides easy access to the
accelerator complex. The potential benefits of this project include
operational efficiency, productivity increases, avoided energy and
maintenance costs.

**PPPL**

[Lyman Spitzer Building (LSB) West Wing Addition]{.underline} (TEC \$8.3
M, FY05 start) \-- This project will provide relief for the increasing
demands placed upon the PPPL maintenance and operating program due to
the increasing age of the PPPL Buildings. The LSB West Wing Addition
will be office space that will consolidate 80 members of the PPPL staff
currently located in two permanent structures (the Theory and
Administration Buildings) and one modular facility (Module VI) into a
single three-story structure, with basement, that can be located
adjacent to the west of the LSB. This proposal will provide the
following benefits: three existing structures consisting of 35,000 total
square feet (demolition costs included in TEC) can be removed from the
property inventory; associated maintenance liabilities (and deferred
maintenance) associated with the aging facilities can be avoided. The
new 25,000 square foot building will consist of three floors and a
basement which will function primarily as office-type space; the new
building will utilize current energy construction standards and will be
integrated with the computerized Building Automation System; a net
decrease of 10,000 square feet of building space at PPPL will result,
and; the project\'s simple payback is between 8 to 9 years.

[Infrastructure Services Upgrade]{.underline} (TEC \$5.6M, FY05 start) -
This proposed project is comprised of the following subprojects:
Installation of Safety-Related Improvements (with new state-of-the-art
systems that improve reliability and reduce maintenance), improvements
to the infrastructure (roofing, distribution systems, etc.) and
improvements to the HVAC systems (for modernization of HVAC systems due
to obsolescence, inefficiency, and compliance with CFC environmental
requirements.)

**SLAC**

[Safety and Operational Reliability Improvements]{.underline} (TEC
\$15.6M, FY04 start) - The proposed project will improve the safety and
operational reliability of the Laboratory\'s facility and systems by
specifically identifying and upgrading the most critical sections of all
failing underground mechanical utility systems, and by selectively
upgrading the most important mission-critical experimental and
manufacturing facilities that are seismically deficient. SLAC\'s piping
systems for natural gas, compressed air, low-conductivity water (LCW),
cooling tower water (CTW), chilled water (CHW), hot water (HW), fire
protection water (FPW), sewer, and storm drainage serve over 200
buildings used for offices, laboratories, shops support, storage, heavy
and light fabrication, and above- and below-ground experimental research
facilities including LINAC, PEP-II, BaBar, FFTB, Test Accelerator,
GLAST, and SPEAR. Since these piping systems were installed almost 40
years ago, and are prone to leaks and failures that can no longer be
prevented by good maintenance, the potential is high for serious
disruptions of mission-critical research, and safety and environmental
hazards. The mechanical utilities upgrade proposed is necessary for SLAC
to continue to provide first-class research facilities, cost
effectively, while complying with its ES&H requirements. Furthermore,
since SLAC is located in a seismically active geographic area, the
seismic upgrade efforts will enhance SLAC\'s ability to survive major
earthquakes by improving the seismic strength of several important
research and infrastructure facilities. While no one knows when the next
major earthquake will strike the San Francisco Bay Area, geologists
predict that the probability of such an event during the next 30 years
is 67%.

[LINAC Electrical Reliability Upgrade]{.underline} (TEC \~\$13.3M, FY07
start) - The proposed project will upgrade the existing electrical
utility systems in the two-mile linear accelerator (LINAC), which is the
source of high-energy electron or positron beam for many of the
experimental programs at SLAC. Its reliability is critical to the
successful execution of the planned experimental scientific programs.
The LINAC electrical systems, consisting of motor control centers, panel
boards, variable voltage transformers and substations, were all
installed at the time when SLAC was originally built, almost 40 years
ago. The equipment is obsolete and replacement parts are no longer
available. In addition, they are not in compliance with the current
electrical codes. Failure of the circuit protection devices to work
properly can result in either collateral damage for failure to open or
unplanned interruptions of operation. This project will upgrade the
below 600 volt essential electrical utility systems in the LINAC.

**TJNAF**

[CEBAF Center Addition Phase 2]{.underline} (TEC \$15M, FY05 start) -
Construction of 82,900 sq.ft.CEBAF Center Addition Phase 2 consists of a
double-wide three story wing and a single-wide two story wing to replace
an additional 9,980 square feet of existing trailers and, depending on
staffing level, a portion of off-site leased office space in the City of
Newport News Applied Research Center (ARC). This project will
consolidate an additional major portion of our staff and provide a
much-needed large meeting room to support the larger collaborations and
conferences. Completion of this project by the end of FY07 would
coincide with the end of our current lease. The labs and associated
office space would be retained in the ARC for at least an additional
five years until suitable replacements can be constructed or the need no
longer exists. The CEBAF Center Addition Phase 2 single wide two-story
wing would be used to provide office space for occupants currently in
the Test Lab Building during the proposed project to rehabilitate the
building and programmed growth.

[Support Buildings Complex]{.underline} (TEC \$7M, FY05 Start) -- The
Support Buildings Complex is a consolidation of four GPP level projects
(Technical Support Building, FY-04; Storage Building Ph 1, FY-04;
Addi-tional Technical Labs, FY-05; and Storage Building Ph 2, FY-05)
plus relocation of the Technical Stock-room. This project will
consolidate a major portion of our engineering and technical staff on
the Accel-erator Site in one building and consolidate
shipping/Receiving, the Technical Stockroom, and Warehous-ing in a
second building. Many of the staff impacted by this project work in
trailers or in service build-ings. The technical support building would
be a two-story structure with a high bay assembly area and adjacent lay
down area. The Shipping/receiving /warehouse building would be a single
story structure with a mezzanine. This project would replace more than
8,200 sq. ft. of trailers and 15,000 SF of shipping containers used for
storage.

[Test Lab Rehab]{.underline} (TEC \$6.8M, FY07 start) - The Test Lab
Building contains fabrication and shop areas, labs and clean rooms, as
well as offices. The building was constructed in 1965 and initially used
for NASA research. This project will correct building code compliance
items, mixed occupancy use issues, and discrepancies in building systems
as well as make improvements in the overall use of space to optimize
layout for current and planned use. .

**ANL-E**

[Building Electrical Systems Upgrade -- PH II]{.underline} (TEC \$9.1M,
FY05 start) -- This phase will upgrade critical portions of the 30-40
years old electrical power distribution system in twelve research
buildings and support facilities. Approximately 1,200 people work in the
affected facilities. Upgrade system to meet current safety standards,
improve reliability and performance, support the changed missions within
the buildings, and reduce maintenance costs. Total annual cost savings
of \$1,210,000 (\$1,180,000 loss in productivity due to power
interruptions and \$30,000 in maintenance savings),payback 6.8 years.

[Building Roof Replacement]{.underline} (TEC \$16.5M, FY05 start) - This
project involves comprehensive replacement of the roofing systems on
older buildings, including all original buildings in the 200 and 300
areas and buildings constructed between 1970 and 1990. The last
comprehensive roof replacement at Argonne-East occurred between 1983 and
1987 and used roofing systems with a predicted life of 20 years. Repair
of small leaks is now necessary with increasing frequency. Roof
replacement of the 400 area buildings will need to begin in 2012.

[Multiprogram Laboratory Office Building]{.underline} (TEC \$12M, FY05
start) - This project provides for the design and construction of a
multiprogram laboratory and office building 50,000 square feet). Systems
and components will be designed to minimize life-cycle costs and improve
environmental performance. The building will facilitate the
rehabilitation of laboratory/office space in other buildings by housing
dislocated activities, which is currently difficult to do.

[Mechanical and Control Systems Upgrades -- PH II]{.underline} ( TEC
\$10.5M, FY05 start) -- This is phase II of four projects to upgrade
critical portions of the mechanical and control systems. The projects
involve rehabilitation and upgrade of laboratory HVAC systems, exhaust
systems, drainage systems, and controls. This work is needed to meet
current environment, safety and health standards, improve reliability
and performance, and reduce operational and maintenance costs to better
support the programmatic mission.

[Building Electrical Service Upgrades --]{.underline} PH III (TEC
\$10.8M, FY06 start) -- This is phase III of five projects to upgrade
critical portions of the electrical power distribution system located in
the 200, 300, and 360 Areas and their support facilities. Scopes of work
will involve upgrading lighting and power panel boards, 13.2-kV
switches, 480-V switchgear, and transformers, replacing 13.2-kV switches
and 480-V switchgear with new equipment containing state-of-the-art
metering and protection devices, and provision of emergency power to
selected buildings. This work is needed to meet current environment,
safety and health standards, improve reliability and performance, and
reduce operational and maintenance costs to better support the
programmatic mission.

[Roads/Parking/Walks/Street Lighting]{.underline} (TEC \$13.5M, FY06
start) - Many roads, parking lots, and sidewalks at Argonne-East have
deteriorated beyond amenability to general maintenance and basic repair.
Other areas require additional parking and walkways. This project will
rehabilitate or upgrade the surfaces of selected roads, parking lots,
and sidewalks (and will use recycled materials where possible). A new
site wide high-pressure sodium lighting system will cut electrical loads
by approximately half and will provide better coverage at roadway
intersections and in parking lots.

[Fire Safety Improvements -- Phase V]{.underline} (TEC \$6.2M, FY06
start) - This project addresses remaining capital improvements needed
for fire protection. Work includes correction of deficiencies affecting
property protection and potential interruption or work, installation or
upgrading of fire barriers, replacement of halon systems and obsolete
building sprinkler water supply connections, and repair of hydraulically
deficient sprinkler systems not related to life safety.

[Laboratory Space Upgrades -- PH I]{.underline} (TEC \$12.9M, FY07
start) -- This project encompasses essentially all aspects of
modernizing laboratory space, including reconfiguration and upgrading of
laboratory space envelopes, laboratory interiors, work area furnishings,
communications, security, electrical distribution systems, plumbing
systems, and laboratory and process piping. The projects address safety
and health concerns by including upgrades of fume hoods, vacuum frame
hoods, canopy hoods, and glove boxes, along with associated utilities.
Also included are removal and disposal of potentially contaminated or
hazardous materials such as hoods, exhaust ductwork, piping, and
asbestos insulation.

[Mechanical and Control Systems Upgrades -- PH III]{.underline} (TEC
\$10.8M, FY08 start) -- This is phase III of four projects to upgrade
critical portions of the mechanical and control systems. The projects
involve rehabilitation and upgrade of laboratory HVAC systems; exhaust
systems, drainage systems, and controls. This work is needed to meet
current environment, safety and health standards, improve reliability
and performance, and reduce operational and maintenance costs to better
support the programmatic mission.

[General-Purpose Laboratory Facility]{.underline} (TEC \$5.9M, FY08
start) - This project will provide a flexible high-bay research facility
(25,000 square feet) to supplement current facilities and to more
readily meet changing needs. A freestanding location will facilitate
expansion and reconfiguration and will achieve proximity to laboratory
space with minimal physical obstructions. These capabilities cannot be
achieved through rehabilitation or reprogramming of existing high-bay
areas, because of the resulting disruption of current work and of the
type of construction used in the existing buildings.

[Building 362 Asbestos Abatement]{.underline} (TEC \$5.4M, FY08 start) -
Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are present in numerous older
buildings at Argonne-East. Damaged ACMs threaten building occupants and
workers and must be repaired or removed; undamaged ACMs may be left
undisturbed or sealed. This project will remove asbestos fireproofing
materials now under floor decks and attached to steel structural
elements in Building 362. Where needed, the project will clean up
friable asbestos. Portions of each floor will be done in turn, cordoned
off, enclosed with containment measures and remediated on a rotating
basis, including removal of ceiling tiles, where present, and
replacement with a new ceiling system. Occupants will be rotated from
affected areas while the building remains in service.

[Building Electrical Service Upgrades -- PH IV]{.underline} (TEC \$7.7M,
FY09 start) -- This is phase IV of five projects to upgrade critical
portions of the electrical power distribution system located in the 200,

start) -- This project will upgrade 5-kV overhead lines to 13.2-kV and
will increase the capacity of the 13-kV overhead lines in the 200, 300,
and 400 areas. The project will also replace 13.2-kV switchgear and
interrupter switch lineups that serve the 300 area, increase the
capacity of transformer T3, and replace transformer T6. Outdoor
automatic transfer switches will be installed to serve Buildings 201 and
221. Most importantly, additional electrical service capacity will be
brought to the site distribution system from Commonwealth Edison's
supply grid, allowing increased reliability and service levels.

[Laboratory Space Upgrades -- PH II]{.underline} (TEC \$13.6M, FY10
start) -- This is phase II of three projects to modernize laboratory
space reconfiguration including laboratory space envelope; laboratory

and electrical distribution systems; plumbing systems; laboratory and
process piping. The project also addresses safety and health concerns
such as fume hoods, vacuum frame hoods, canopy hoods, glove boxes, etc.
with associated utilities; and removal and disposal of potentially
contaminated or hazardous materials such as hoods, exhaust ductwork,
piping, and asbestos insulation.

**BNL**

[User Research Building]{.underline} (TEC \$15.4M, FY04 start) -- This
project will construct a new 54,500 SF, three-story office building to
support the growing scientific community using the RHIC facility. This
new facility will eliminate the current lack of space problem by
providing a permanent facility for the BNL/RHIC scientific staff and the
short- and long-term visiting scientific community to carry out the
program's vital mission. It will include centrally located offices for
154 personnel; various conference and seminar areas; state-of the-art
data information systems; public computer terminals to accommodate
transient visiting scientific staff; and a lobby suitable for public
displays and visitor orientation.

[Energy Sciences Building]{.underline} (TEC \$18.4M, FY05 start) -- This
proposed new building for the Energy, Environment, and National Security
Directorate (EENS) will provide 40,000 square feet of laboratory, office
and support space. The facility will include individual offices,
two-person offices, state-of-the-art laboratories, transient user space
for visiting collaborators, with access to computer terminals, and
conference rooms on all floors. This project will construct sorely
needed laboratory and office facilities to consolidate the Directorate.
EENS is currently dispersed in over twenty buildings on site. Many are
old, outdated, inefficient World War II-era facilities incapable of
meeting mission need. Execution of this project is essential to perform
multi-program DOE initiatives in environmental sciences, carbon
management, nano-technology, energy sciences and to promote industrial
collaboration and technology transfer.

[Central Chilled Water Facility -- PH II]{.underline} (TEC \$9M, FY05
start) - This project will add 1,250 tons of additional chilled water
capacity to BNL's Central Chilled Water Facility (CCWF) and provide the
baseline infrastructure needed to support expected chilled water load
growth. Consistent with strategic plans, the CCWF has seen substantial
growth in chilled water load with the addition of several existing
buildings which were added when their chilled water systems were no
longer economically viable. The available capacity is only marginally
capable of meeting peak load and is no longer able to provide firm
capacity. Additional new buildings are planned that will require
provision for additional CCWF capacity growth. This project will provide
improved operating efficiency, reliable firm capacity for current loads,
will utilize the latest environmentally benign refrigerants and will
provide the base infrastructure to support future load growth.
Construction will include a 3,000 SF addition to the CCWF, installation
of a 1,250 ton electric centrifugal chiller and associated cooling
tower, pumps, controls and piping.

[Support Shops Complex -- PH I]{.underline} (TEC \$5.5M, FY 09 start)
--- This project is phase I of a multi-phase project to consolidate the
Plant Engineering Division by relocating building maintenance, site
maintenance, and electrical-mechanical maintenance groups from their
present locations to a single consolidated facility. Phase I constructs
a 30,000 sq.ft. facility which addresses the Admin portion of the
Complex. Twenty-two excess facilities with a total of 216,000 square
feet will be demolished as part of the entire project. The current shops
are scattered throughout the site in inefficient WWII era buildings.
These buildings were retrofitted to accommodate shop operations. As
shops are separated, sharing of facilities and other resources is not
possible. By consolidating into a more efficient, co-located complex
resources can be shared and space requirements reduced. In addition,
several of the shops are located near the main entrance and at the
entrance to the core area of the site making for an unsightly
appearance.

[Multi-Program Science Laboratory Renovations (]{.underline}TEC \$15 M,
FY05 start) - This project will upgrade and rehabilitate existing
obsolete and unsuitable BNL laboratory facilities into modern, efficient
lab spaces compatible with world-class scientific research. The majority
of BNL's laboratories are in excess of 40 years of age and have not been
rehabilitated since their original construction. Approximately 33,000 SF
of laboratories will be rehabilitated including refurbishment of HVAC,
electrical, lighting, plumbing, services, casework, and architectural
surfaces. The renovated lab spaces will utilize modern modular
laboratory equipment wherever possible to provide maximum lab
flexibility and potential for reuse.

[Renovate Science Laboratories -- PH I]{.underline} (TEC \$27.3M, FY06
start)--- Phase I will renovate Bldg. 510 including interior finishes,
electrical and mechanical systems, and basic laboratory furnishings.
Some interior partition changes will also be performed aimed at making
these facilities more flexible and adaptable to changing program needs.
An emphasis will be placed on making the building more environmentally
benign ("green") and energy efficient. The renovations will modernize
the buildings and increase their functionality. In addition, this
project will significantly lower both the GPP and maintenance backlogs
allowing those funds to be directed to other needs.

[Central Steam Distribution System Upgrade -- PH I]{.underline} (TEC
\$8M, FY06 start) --- This project will replace the aged steam
distribution lines and associated condensate-return lines, and extend
the steam distribution system to support multi-program growth in the
northern area of the BNL site. Many of the oldest section of the steam
distribution system have poor to no remaining insulation and there are
some leaks in the condensate return piping, causing a loss of system
efficiency. With the aging of the steam system, pipe failure rates will
increase causing local outages. Outages during the winter months would
disrupt operations.

[Research Support Building -- PH II]{.underline} (TEC \$13.4M, FY07
start) -- This project is phase II of four phases and it will construct
a 33,500 sq. ft. modern office building. Organizations that support BNL
research are spread among numerous small buildings, most of which are
WWII vintage (over 50 years old) barracks or "temporary" construction.
The directorates affected are Facilities & Operations, Environmental
Management, ESH & Q, Community Involvement, and Finance &
Administration. The potential benefits of the RSC, include increased
operational efficiency and reduced energy use through shared resources.

[Research Support Building -- PH III]{.underline} (TEC \$17M, FY11
start) -- This project is phase III of four phases and it will construct
a 42,500 sq. ft. modern office building. Organizations that support BNL
research are spread among numerous small buildings, most of which are
WWII vintage (over 50 years old) barracks or "temporary" construction.
The directorates affected are Facilities & Operations, Environmental
Management, ESH & Q, Community Involvement, and Finance &
Administration. The potential benefits of the RSC, include increased
operational efficiency and reduced energy use through shared resources.

[Renovate Science Laboratories -- PH II]{.underline} (TEC \$12.3M, FY08
start) -- Phase II will renovate Bldgs. 515 and 535 including interior
finishes, electrical and mechanical systems, and basic laboratory
furnishings. Some interior partition changes will also be performed
aimed at making these facilities more flexible and adaptable to changing
program needs. An emphasis will be placed on making the building more
environmentally benign ('green') and energy efficient. The renovations
will modernize the buildings and increase their functionality. In
addition, this project will significantly lower both the GPP and
maintenance backlogs allowing those funds to be directed to other needs.

[Research Support Building -- PH IV]{.underline} (TEC \$9.2M, FY10
start) -- This project is phase IV of four phases and will construct
23,000 square feet of modern office space. Organizations that support
BNL research are spread among numerous small buildings, most of which
are WWII vintage barracks or "temporary" construction. BNL's Master Plan
suggests that a 4-phase approach constructing 4 buildings in close
proximity will be a cost-effective efficient solution that will provide
an enhanced image of BNL as a center for world-class science. The
directorates affected are Facilities & Operations, Environmental
Management, ESH & Q, Community Involvement, and Finance &
Administration. The potential benefits of the RSC, include increased
operational efficiency and reduced energy use through shared resources.

[Potable Water System -- PH II]{.underline} (TEC \$8M, FY08 start) --
This project will replace the aged potable water system distribution
lines. The area of most need is the housing area. The potential for
using third party financing for this in conjunction with third party
housing projects will be explored.

[Renovate Science Labs -- PH III]{.underline} (TEC \$21.3M, FY10 start)
-- This project is phase III of six phases and will renovate close to
800,000 square feet of the Laboratory's permanent laboratory/office
buildings, many of which were constructed in the 1960s. These
renovations include interior finishes, electrical and mechanical
systems, and basic laboratory furnishings. Some interior partition
changes will also be performed aimed at making these facilities more
flexible and adaptable to changing program needs. An emphasis will be
placed on making the building more environmentally benign ("green") and
energy efficient. The project will be carried out in phases and BNL has
suggested a 6-phase approach that prioritizes the buildings based on
mission needs and the asset's condition. This project will significantly
lower both the GPP and maintenance backlogs.

[Support Shops Complex -- PH II]{.underline} (TEC \$6.7M, FY13 start) --
This is phase I of three projects to consolidate the Plant Engineering
Division and will relocate the carpentry, painting, and cabinet shop
complex from its present location opposite the fire station. All three
phases will provide 154,000 sq. ft. of new space and demolish 216,000
sq. ft. of deteriorated buildings.

[Renovate Science Labs -- PH IV]{.underline} (TEC \$21.9M, FY12 start)
-- This project is phase IV of six phases and will renovate close to
800,000 square feet of the Laboratory's permanent laboratory/office
buildings, many of which were constructed in the 1960s. These
renovations include interior finishes, electrical and mechanical
systems, and basic laboratory furnishings. Some interior partition
changes will also be performed aimed at making these facilities more
flexible and adaptable to changing program needs. An emphasis will be
placed on making the building more environmentally benign ("green") and
energy efficient. The project will be carried out in phases and BNL has
suggested a 6-phase approach that prioritizes the buildings based on
mission needs and the asset's condition. This project will significantly
lower both the GPP and maintenance backlogs.

[Central Steam Distribution System -- PH II]{.underline} (TEC \$8M, FY09
start) -- This project will replace the aged steam distribution lines
and associated condensate-return lines, and extend the steam
distribution system to support multi-program growth in the northern area
of the BNL site. Many of the oldest sections of the steam distribution
system have poor insulation and there are leaks in the condensate return
piping, causing a loss of system efficiency.

[Halon Replacement]{.underline} (TEC \$5M, FY07 start) -- This project
provides for replacement of Halon Fire Suppression Systems with other
fire-suppression systems. The Clean Air Act requires the discontinuation
of ozone-depleting chemicals, including Halon. The Department of Energy
no longer permits its purchase. These systems must be changed to permit
continued ability to provide fire suppression.

[Building Roof Replacements]{.underline} (TEC \$11.6M, FY07 start) --
This project will re-roof those permanent structures whose roofs have
reached their end-life and require full replacement. (Note: roofing
projects associated with the buildings identified for demolition as part
of this plan are not included. However, if these projects do not come to
fruition, then these other roofing projects will also be needed. )

[Electrical System Modifications -- PH III]{.underline} (TEC \$10M, FY09
start)- This project will continue the efforts of previous phases to
replace outdated 13.8kV electrical distribution system cable and modify
substations to convert the existing radial system into a more reliable
loop-type system.

[Flexible Science Labs]{.underline} (TEC\$22.8M, FY13 start) -- This
project will provide 67,000 square feet of office/laboratory space. The
current BNL laboratory buildings were designed for the needs of discrete
scientific disciplines. The proposed labs will be specifically designed
for energy efficiency, will be generic and universal, and adaptable to
changing functional and operational requirements. This flexible
configuration will foster multidisciplinary interactions and
collaborations, as well as the scientific synergy that comes from
facilitating interaction of different viewpoints and ideas. We
anticipate that this project will be constructed in phases in a grouping
of two-story structures.

[Renovate Science Labs -- PH V]{.underline} (TEC \$19.4M, FY13 start) --
This project is phase V of six phases and will renovate close to 800,000
square feet of the Laboratory's permanent laboratory/office buildings,
many of which were constructed in the 1960s. These renovations include
interior finishes, electrical and mechanical systems, and basic
laboratory furnishings. Some interior partition changes will also be
performed aimed at making these facilities more flexible and adaptable
to changing program needs. An emphasis will be placed on making the
building more environmentally benign ("green") and energy efficient. The
project will be carried out in phases and BNL has suggested a 6-phase
approach that prioritizes the buildings based on mission needs and the
asset's condition. This project will significantly lower both the GPP
and maintenance backlogs.

[Sanitary System Modifications -- PH IV]{.underline} (TEC \$10.M, FY10
start) -- This project will continue the work of previous efforts to
replace leaky aged sanitary piping and thus ensure all discharges pass
through the treatment plant where they can be treated and monitored.

[Fire Protection -- PH IV]{.underline} (TEC \$5.3M, FY13 start) -- This
project continues the effort to install fire-protection
systems/automatic fire-suppression in laboratory facilities that house
over 50 people. Most facilities pose fire loss potential in excess of
\$1 million and are required by DOE's Property Protection Standards to
have automatic suppression systems. The scope of this project will be
reduced if the new buildings and renovations proposed in this plan are
funded.

[Support Shops Complex -- PH III]{.underline} (TEC \$6.7M, FY13 start)
-- This is phase II of three projects to consolidate the Plant
Engineering Division and will relocate the carpentry, painting, and
cabinet shop complex from its present location opposite the fire
station. All three phases will provide 154,000 sq. ft. of new space and
demolish 216,000 sq. ft. of deteriorated buildings.

[Renovate Science Labs -- PH VI]{.underline} (TEC \$10.2M, FY13 start)
-- This project will renovate close to 800,000 square feet of the
Laboratory's permanent laboratory/office buildings, many of which were
constructed in the 1960s. These renovations include interior finishes,
electrical and mechanical systems, and basic laboratory furnishings.
Some interior partition changes will also be performed aimed at making
these facilities more flexible and adaptable to changing program needs.
An emphasis will be placed on making the building more environmentally
benign ("green") and energy efficient. The project will be carried out
in phases and BNL has suggested a 6-phase approach that prioritizes the
buildings based on mission needs and the asset's condition. This project
will significantly lower both the GPP and maintenance backlogs.

[Surface Water]{.underline} (TEC \$5M, FY12 start) -- This project will
modify and improve BNL's surface- water and storm-water systems to
prevent flooding, and includes increasing pipe size, and construction of
additional permitted recharge points.

[Safeguards & Security Complex]{.underline} (TEC \$12M, FY13 start) --
Safety & Security functions are currently housed in several obsolete
inadequate structures. The existing wood frame Security building,
constructed in 1941, has no fire protection system and is not a hardened
facility. In addition, the space for physical training is located in a
separate building. This project will construct approximately 30,000
square feet of new space and demolish a similar amount of WWII wooden
structures.

[Fire Protection -- PH V]{.underline} (TEC \$5M, FY13 start) -- This
project continues the effort to install fire- protection
systems/automatic fire-suppression in laboratory facilities that house
over 50 people. Most facilities pose fire loss potential in excess of
\$1 million and are required by DOE's Property Protection Standards to
have automatic suppression systems. The scope of this project will be
reduced if the new buildings and renovations proposed in this plan are
funded.

[Materials Handling Center]{.underline} (TEC \$12.6M, FY13 start) --
This project provides for a new building in which all stores, issue
stock items, chemicals, shipping and receiving, certain bulk storage and
administration will be consolidated into one modern facility. The MHC
project will demolish 42,600 sf of antiquated, inefficient structures
and replace them with an efficient facility about half their size. The
MHC will complete BNL's efforts to consolidate and relocate its
warehousing and stockroom functions into a cost-effective operation.

[Fiber Optic Cables for SFAS]{.underline} (TEC \$5M, FY13 start) -- This
activity replaces the use of existing telephone lines with fiber-optic
communications for the Site Fire Alarm System. Our present communication
system is not as reliable as desired due to failures from electrical
disturbances and connection faults (one/week). Fiber optics would
alleviate many of the problems due to electrical isolation and through
the high quality of splicing/equipment methods.

[Support Shops Complex - Buildings Division]{.underline} (TEC \$6.7M,
FY13 start) - This is the second phase of a multi-phased program to
consolidate the Plant Engineering Division and will relocate the
carpentry, painting, and cabinet shop complex from its present location
opposite the fire station. Combined all phases will provide 154,000 sq.
ft. of new space and demolish 216,000 sq. ft. of deteriorated buildings.

 

[Science Museum]{.underline} (TEC \$9.3M, FY13 Start) - Although a major
contributor to American science with a substantial accumulation of
historical scientific documents and artifacts, BNL currently lacks a
place to display and conserve its history. BNL also has an active-though
inappropriately housed- children\'s science lab. The proposed Science
Museum will incorporate both functions in a protective structure that
not only will remember the past, but also encourage the future. This
project will construct 23,000 square feet of new display and museum
operational support space.

 

[Recreation Center]{.underline} (TEC \$ 15.5 M, FY13 Start)  - BNL has a
very strong and popular wellness and recreation program. While BNL\'s
recreational facilities are diverse and substantial, most of their
primary buildings date from WWII, and are obsolete and undersized. The
proposed Improvements will consolidate dispersed facilities into a new,
efficient and attractive building located within walking distance from
the proposed housing facilities.

 

**LBNL**

[Research Support Building]{.underline} (TEC \$15M, FY04 start) - The
new 25,000 gsf (15,500 nsf, eff. 62%) office building will replace the
structurally unsound and condemned Building 29 (which was demolished in
2002) and four associated condemned trailers. It will house \~70 people
from a variety of essential research support functions that are
currently scattered across the LBNL site including Library Services,
Center for Science and Engineering, Technology Transfer, Procurement and
Patent Department. Relocation of these functions from existing research
buildings will free up \~ 20,000 gsf of research space and result in
operational cost savings, efficient management and improved access for
staff and guest researchers. Payback \~7 years. The estimated cost is
\$15.0M and the project is identified as a FY 2004 start.

[User Support Building (TEC \$20M, FY05 start)]{.underline} -- This new
30,000 gsf building (20,100 nsf, eff. 67%) will replace Building 10, a
wooden 15,575 gsf structure constructed as a service building during WW
II, a building with contains structural and life safety elements that
restrict use. Building 10 cannot be cost-effectively upgraded to serve
modern science requirements.

The new User Support Building will provide critically needed modern
research support space for users of the Advanced Light Source and other
national user facilities. The building will support research in all
disciplines (condensed matter physics, materials, chemistry,
environmental, and earth sciences, biology, atomic and molecular
physics, plasma sciences, nanosciences, etc.). The new multi-user
structure includes a high bay for assembly of experimental
apparatus~~;~~ as well as modern analytical laboratory and office space
to support the over 2,000 scientific facility users. This space will
support activities to prepare experiments and to address other critical
but short term high-activity work activities. Demolition of sub-standard
space and improved productivity combine for a payback of approxi­mately
\~7 years. The estimated cost is \$20.0M and the project is identified
as a FY 2005 start.

[Building 62 and 74 - Rehabilitation of Building Operating
Systems]{.underline} (TEC \$19.5M, FY05 start) -

The rehabilitation of these two primary and large laboratory buildings
will eliminate operational problems that present hardships to
researchers in these buildings and correct structural safety issues --
this project will ensure many additional decades of beneficial
scientific use of these otherwise fine research buildings.

The scientific utility of Building 62, a forty-year old laboratory
building, is severely limited by inadequate and deficient building
systems. This project will improve operational performance and safety.
This project will replace aged wooden fumehoods, install a new
centralized laboratory exhaust system and make other HVAC modifications
to allow for constant air temperature and pressure conditions in the
laboratories. The project will upgrade the low-conductivity water (LCW)
system to meet modern chemistry research requirements.

Building 74 has serious utility and life-safety issues that make it less
than fully adequate for modern research. The building was constructed as
an animal research facility in four stages beginning in the early
cold-war period. As the use of experimental animals has declined,
conventional laboratory spaces have expanded in an incremental fashion
that now stresses utility services and operations. These stressed and
disjointed operating systems present difficulties to the research
function. In addition, there are both fire and seismic life-safety
concerns that will be corrected under this project.

This project will rehabilitate the infrastructure of two primary but
aged laboratory buildings so that they are able to meet the fundamental
operational expectations of the researchers, and are consistent with
modern life safety and engineering design standards. This Line Item
Project has an estimated cost of \$19.5M and is identified as a FY2005
project start.

[Operations Building]{.underline} (TEC \$15M, FY06 start) - The new
25,000 gsf (16,260 nsf, eff. 65%) office building will consolidate
Facilities Department functions in a single location. The project will
improve the efficiency of highly interdependent functions by co-locating
personnel from various fragmented and dispersed site locations.
Occupants will include Facilities Management, Administration, Planning,
Project Management, Architecture and Engineering, and Operations &
Maintenance personnel. The new facility will house \~100 people and
eliminate overlap and duplication of administration and support
functions, reduce travel time and strengthen communications. Payback \~
6 years. The facility has an estimated cost of \$15.0M and the project
is identified as a FY 2006 start.

[Engineering Support Facility]{.underline} (TEC \$15.3, FY07 start) -
This addition to B77A of 19,000 gsf (11,400 nsf, eff. 60%) of dry
laboratory, computer, and office space for 38 Engineering Support
Personnel will free up badly needed production and assembly space in the
Building 77 complex. Consolidation of engineering functions at a single
site will improve coordination, efficiency, and research support.
Payback \~ 8 years. The estimated cost is \$15.3M.

[Replace Building 25 (Seismic Stability)]{.underline} (TEC \$20.2M, FY07
start) - This project will demolish existing 50+ year old 28,000 gsf
Building 25. Building 25 was constructed in many increments and contains
structural deficiencies that can not be cost-effectively upgraded to
modern standards in order to meet the needs of modern science. Building
25 does not meet current seismic construction standards and would not be
usable after a significant earthquake. This project will construct a new
25,000 gsf (16,250 nsf, eff. 65%) office and support services building
at a nearby site and relocate the staff prior to demolition of the
current building. The new building will house staff from Building 25 and
Operations Division support personnel who are currently housed in
off-site leased space. The new facility will allow improvement in
overall service quality while reducing lease costs. Payback \~ 6 years.
The estimated cost is \$20.2M.

[Environment, Health, and Safety (EH&S) Support Facility]{.underline}
(TEC \$16.4, FY08 start) - Approximately 90 EH&S staff will be housed in
this new 21,000 gsf (approx. 14,000 nsf, eff. 65%) facility.
Consolidating these highly interactive staff will improve both internal
and external EH&S communications, increase productivity, improve
responsiveness, and further minimize potential risks of injury and
environmental contamination. This project will demolish an inefficient
trailer-complex and replace it with a building that makes effective use
of the site and which is suitable for EH&S staff and research. Increased
productivity, the removal of an inefficient trailer complex, and the
reassignment of space currently used by EH&S staff to address pressing
research needs combine for a payback of approximately 5 - 6 years. The
estimated cost is \$16.4M.

[Training Center and Auditorium]{.underline} (TEC \$16M, FY09 start) -
This new 14,000 gsf (9,000 nsf, eff. 65%) center will serve all research
groups and support staff. The Laboratory currently has no suitable
training/communication facility. The center will support effective
communication both within and among research disciplines, it will also
serve to coordinate group communications within virtual research
activities. The new multi-purpose training facility will also allow
staff to be efficiently trained in safe, secure, and efficient
approaches to their work, and support general conference and DOE
tele-conference needs. Reduced travel and training costs, productivity
gains, and reallocation of existing training spaces to research
functions combine for a payback of less than 10-years. The estimated
cost is \$16M.

[Site Support Service Facility]{.underline} (TEC \$9.5M, FY10 start) -
This new 13,000 gsf (approx. 8,500 nsf, eff. 65%) building and
associated yard space will establish a single facility for the
management and staging of Facilities Department field operations.
Currently larger equipment is stored along streets, in parking lots and
in general storage spaces where it is available; and smaller equipment
and supplies are housed in temporary shelters and cargo containers and
other otherwise un-usable locations across the site. The new facility
will house \~ 55 staff adjacent to their equipment and supplies in an
energy efficient facility that is fully compliant with OSHA and Clean
Water Act regulations. Demolition of sub-standard units, recovery of
parking and general storage spaces, and improved productivity combine
for a payback of approximately 5 - 6 years. The estimated cost is
\$9.5M.

[Replace Building 73]{.underline} (TEC \$14M, FY11 start) - This new
19,000 gsf facility will provide approximately 8,000 nsf of
multi-program research office and project-team space and 5,000 nsf of
seminar space and short-term housing for visiting graduate students and
post-docs (eff.65%). Approximately 75 staff and graduate students will
be accommodated. State of the art communications systems and
project-team workspaces will be coupled with facilities specifically
designed to assist graduate students and post-doc's to advance into the
ranks of the nation's top DOE/SC scientists. This facility will replace
a specialized research facility that is no longer used for its design
purpose and which is not cost-effective to rehabilitate for other uses.
Demolition of sub-standard space and improved productivity combine for a
payback of approximately 5 - 6 years. The estimated cost is \$14M.

[Rehabilitation of Building 90 Operating Systems]{.underline} (TEC
\$18M, FY12 start) & [Rehabilitation of Building 72 Operating
Systems]{.underline} (TEC \$12M, FY13 start) - These two Line Item
building system renovation projects are identified as FY 2012 and 2013
starts. The Laboratory is currently reviewing the condition of building
operating systems in these buildings. This planning analysis will be
completed in late 2002 and the outcome will be discussed in the 2003
SFP.

**ORNL**

[4500 North Wing 4, Lab Upgrades & Renovations (]{.underline}TEC
\$16.6M, FY04 start) - The proposed project is an integral part of the
new Facilities Revitalization Project (FRP) for revitalization of
ORNL\'s research capabilities and infrastructure in support of the
DOE-SC initiative to modernize their national laboratories. New
laboratories, supporting offices, and the necessary support facilities
are being proposed for construction as part of an integrated new campus
environment in the area north and east of the 4500 North and South
Buildings complex. The Wing 4 will be modernized to provide laboratory,
office, and support functions. The overall goals of this facilities
revitalization initiative are to reduce the burdensome costs of
maintaining the current inventory of facilities 50 years and older,
provide a safer environment for current staff activities, and ensure
ORNL\'s ability to conduct world-class science in the 21st century,
including attracting and retaining world-class research scientists.

[4500 North Wing 3, Lab Upgrades & Renovations (]{.underline}TEC
\$19.0M, FY06 start) - The proposed project represents Phase 2 of the
multi-year effort to upgrade the 4500N/S complex. This project will

state-of-the-art, space and energy efficient labs and support facilities
in accordance with the master plan for that complex.

[Primary Substation Upgrades]{.underline} (TEC \$7.8M, FY 05 start) -
The ORNL Primary Substation Upgrades project will replace and restore
components of the ORNL Primary Substation. It will replace an aged and
inefficient power transformer and regulating transformer, and will
replace the Bus No. 1 13.8-kV Oil Circuit Breakers (OCBs) with new
metal-clad switchgear-containing vacuum-insulated circuit breakers. The
project will replace existing mechanical relays with advanced
microprocessor-based protective relay systems. Grounding improvements
will be provided to improve the safety of the substation. Other aged and
deteriorated components of the substation will also be replaced. This
project is part of a phased infrastructure upgrade to restore the
electrical distribution system serving ORNL. The ORNL primary substation
is the only source of electrical power to the ORNL site. Most of ORNL\'s
electrical distribution system was installed in the early 1940s and the
mid 1960s. A phased upgrade of deteriorated and deficient electrical
systems was started in the 1980s. Estimated return on investment for
this project is 25.8%, with a simple payback period of approximately 10
years.

[Electrical Distribution System Upgrades]{.underline} (TEC \$7.0M, FY13
start) - This project is part of a phased infrastructure upgrade to
restore the electrical distribution system serving ORNL. Most of ORNL\'s
electrical distribution system was installed in the early 1940s and the
mid 1960s. A phased upgrade of deteriorated and deficient electrical
systems was started in the 1980s.

[Manipulator Repair Facility]{.underline} (TEC \$12M, FY05 start) - The
Manipulator Repair Facility will provide a consolidated facility for hot
cell manipulator repair and refurbishment in support of all of the ORNL
hot cell operations. It will consist of approximately 20,000 square feet
of clean and contaminated manipulator wash areas, a boot fabrication
shop, and all necessary support facilities to support the repair and
decontamination of master/slave and electromechanical manipulators. The
facility will be sited to best service the primary users of manipulators
and will include process and liquid low-level waste line tie-ins and
HEPA filtration systems for contamination control.

[Potable Water System Upgrade Phase I]{.underline} (TEC \$7.0M, FY 10
start) -- This project consists of two phases. The Potable Water System
Upgrade, Phases I will replace or refurbish aged water lines serving the
primary research and support facilities in the central campus area of
the Laboratory. Phase II is a continuation of Phase I. The main lines
running along Central Avenue and the north side of the Building
3508/3517 Area will be replaced in the first phase of the project with
the Laboratory facilities north of Central Avenue in the vicinity of
First Street and the 3047 Isotopes Area. Because of the subsurface
contamination concerns within the central campus, multiple technologies
are being evaluated for this project, including standard below-grade
pipe replacement, above-grade insulated piping, and in-situ lining of
existing lines where appropriate and feasible. A preliminary estimate of
return on investment (ROI) is 10% with a payback period of seven years.

[Laboratory Facility Ventilation System Upgrade, Phase I]{.underline}
(TEC \$7.5M, FY06 start) - The Laboratory Facility Ventilation System
Upgrades, Phases I and II, are projects that will modernize ventilation
and exhaust systems in approximately ten ORNL facilities, totaling over
200,000 square feet of space. Ventilation and exhaust systems in many
ORNL facilities are in serious need of upgrade to continue service at
any level. Some laboratory areas are not used for research because of a
lack of proper ventilation. Systems feature 35-year-old equipment
applied in a 35-year old design concept. In many systems, the exhaust
ducting and filter housings are seriously corroded and have only a
marginal future life expectancy. New exhaust fans, ducts, hoods, and an
EPA-compliant stack are needed for compliance with regulations. The
majority of these duct/housing units are contamination zones that will
require closely controlled work conditions. A preliminary estimate of a
payback period for this project is seven to nine years.

[Potable Water System Upgrade Phase II]{.underline} (TEC \$7.0M, FY12
start) - The Potable Water System Upgrade, Phases I and II, will replace
or refurbish aged water lines serving the primary research and support
facilities in the central campus area of the Laboratory. The main lines
running along Central Avenue and the north side of the Building
3508/3517 area will be replaced in the first phase of the project with
the Laboratory facilities north of Central Avenue in the vicinity of
First Street and the 3047 Isotopes Area. Because of the subsurface
contamination concerns within the central campus, multiple technologies
are being evaluated for this project, including standard below-grade
pipe replacement, above-grade insulated piping, and in-situ lining of
existing lines where appropriate and feasible. A preliminary estimate of
return on investment is 10% with a payback period of seven years.

[Laboratory Facility Ventilation System Upgrade, Phase II]{.underline}
(TEC \$8.5M, FY08 start) - The Laboratory Facility Ventilation System
Upgrades, Phases I and II, are projects that will modernize ventilation
and exhaust systems in approximately ten ORNL facilities totaling over
200,000 square feet of space. Ventilation and exhaust systems in many
ORNL facilities are in serious need of upgrade to continue service at
any level. Some laboratory areas are not used for research because of a
lack of proper ventilation. Systems feature 35-year-old equipment
applied in a 35-year old design concept. In many systems the exhaust
ducting and filter housings are seriously corroded and have only a
marginal future life expectancy. New exhaust fans, ducts, hoods, and an
EPA-compliant stack are needed for compliance with regulations. The
majority of these duct/housing units are contamination zones that will
require closely controlled work conditions. A preliminary estimate of a
payback period for this project is seven to nine years.

**PNNL**

[EMSL Expansion Phase I]{.underline} (TEC \$17.1M, FY05 start) - This
project expands the laboratory capabilities of EMSL to accommodate the
proposed 1.2 GHz Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) system, the 21 Tesla
FTICR Mass Spectrometer, a Catalysis & Exhaust Emission Science
Facility, and expanded high resolution imaging capabilities described in
the FY 02 SC Onsite Review. The 1.2 GHz NMR system will enable
structural solutions to complex problems in biology, materials
chemistry, and micro imaging. The 21 tesla FTICR mass spectrometer will
enable proteomics studies of microbial communities. The catalysis and
exhaust emission science facility will enable discoveries in catalysis
and chemical transformation, providing new insights and technologies for
emission control needed, for example, to meet challenging Diesel
Emission Standards in 2007. Finally, expanded high-resolution imaging
capabilities are needed to achieve the goals of DOE's Genomes to Life
program. This project takes advantage of the original EMSL design that
provides the capability to add a laboratory pod on the north end of the
building. This modification adds 36,000 GSF laboratory space.

[EMSL Expansion Phase II]{.underline} (TEC \$6.2 M, FY05 start) - This
project expands the office space at EMSL to accommodate the staff and
users who will operate and utilize the expanded laboratory capabilities
described in the EMSL Laboratory Expansion. This project takes advantage
of the original EMSL design that provides the capability to add an
office pod on the north end of the building. This modification adds
17,900 GSF office space.

[EMSL Expansion Phase III (]{.underline}TEC \$10.9M, FY06 start) - This
project expands the computer laboratory capabilities of EMSL to
accommodate proposed topical computing centers in chemistry and nano,
biology, subsurface science, and climate physics. The topical computing
centers support the Ultra Scale Simulation for Science Effort (Earth
Simulator response). The modification adds a 27,000 GSF computer room,
office and storage space, and a new mechanical and electrical room to
house additional chiller and UPS capacity. The computer room includes a
24" suspended floor system, utilizing computer room air conditioning
units for cooling, and providing electrical service from panels in the
room.

[300 Area Replacement Facility -- Phase I (]{.underline}TEC \$25.9M, FY
06 start) - Due to changing EM plans for cleanup in the 300 Area,
PNNL\'s strategy of consolidating critical research capability out of
weapon production and cold war aged buildings into a core set of old,
but relatively better PNNL facilities no longer appears viable. There is
an immediate need to relocate critical research activities out of PNNL
occupied 300 Area buildings that are at the end of their mission or
functional life. This project constructs a 43,000GSF replacement
facility near EMSL. The multiprogram facility is configured of \~25,000
SF laboratory, \~ 10,000 SF office, and \~4,000 SF storage space. This
project is the first step in making 750, 000 GSF of old, contaminated
buildings, and associated legacy waste available for EM funded removal.

[300 Area Utility Distribution Systems (]{.underline}TEC \$16.3 M, FY 07
start) - EM currently is responsible for delivering site and utility
services to PNNL buildings located on the Hanford site. The 300 Area
utility distribution system supports many PNNL occupied government owned
buildings. Large-scale EM cleanup of the 300 Area will require extensive
excavation and will result in severance of water, sewer, and electrical
distribution systems. Reconfiguration and replacement of these systems
will be required. Due to the still uncertain timeframe of the 300 Area
closure project, the CAMP score for this project is best represented as
a range between \"Moderately likely not able to meet mission
requirements\" and \"Cannot meet mission capability\".

[D-485 320-Building Infrastructure Rehabilitation (]{.underline}TEC
\$7.6 M, FY07 start) - The 320 Building, one of our core facilities that
support DOE missions, was constructed in 1964 and is deteriorating. In
1999, in an effort to decrease O&M costs and to provide a safer and more
productive work environment, PNNL requested funding from DOE-SC to
rehabilitate the building. Line Item Investment D-485 will provide for
strategic laboratory and facility system upgrades that will extend the
useful life of the building. Existing facility systems, including the
HVAC systems, will be modernized with efficient equipment and control
systems that will reduce energy consumption and operational costs.
Excessive vibration caused by the existing HVAC equipment interferes
with the performance of sensitive microscopes and spectrometers. We have
estimated that dealing with the effects of this excessive vibration
wastes 5 percent to 10 percent of our researcher's time annually
(amounting to \$300,000 to \$600,000). The facility system modifications
proposed for Line Item Investment D-485 will eliminate this problem,
thus improving the productivity of our research staff. This project was
not submitted as an FY 2005 line item based on preliminary information,
which broadens the scope of the 300 Area clean-up to include the 320
Building and accelerates the schedule to the 2008--2012 timeframe. More
definitive information will become available once DOE awards the
contract in early FY 2003.

[D-496 -- Laboratory Systems and Facilities Rehabilitation
(]{.underline}TEC \$9.7 M, FY 07 start) - This project is a part of an
ongoing revitalization effort that has focused on upgrading the physical
plants in strategic 300 Area facilities over the past 10 years. The
current project scope supports our continuing revitalization plan and
initiates the activities that will be undertaken over the next 10 years,
which are focused upgrading laboratory and administrative spaces. The
planned activities will ensure that the affected facilities can support
their research and development programs, will reduce utility and other
O&M costs, and will increase space utilization efficiency by optimizing
research and administrative office space use. Operating cost savings
will be realized primarily from converting existing HVAC systems to
variable-air-volume systems in the 329 Building laboratories. In the 331
Building, a new addition will be built to provide additional office
space, and in the 337 Building, space use will be improved by renovation
of open bay office areas.

The scope of D-496 will be reviewed based on new 300 Area clean up
information. The scope of D-496 will be modified or GPPs created to
include the rehabilitations required to maintain research operations
until replacement buildings are constructed. This project was not
submitted as an FY 2005 line item based on preliminary information that
broadens the scope of the 300 Area clean-up to include all PNNL
buildings and accelerates the schedule to the 2008--2012 timeframe. More
definitive information will become available once DOE awards the
contract in early FY 2003.

[Research Support Building (]{.underline}TEC \$25 M, FY07 start) -
Future noteworthy scientific advances will not come from individual
researchers or individual research institutions; rather it will come
from a worldwide network of contributors. PNNL requires a modern
facility to provide efficient access by the wider scientific community
to PNNL user facilities and to provide spaces for communities of
scientists to come together in collaboration. The Research Support
Building project will construct an approximately 60,000 gross square
feet facility to house conferencing capability, lecture halls, science
and technology demonstration space, seminar rooms, and leading edge
information technology and communication systems. The facility will
create the entrance point to the Laboratory campus and the gateway to
gain access to PNNL's capabilities---its staff, facilities, and
equipment. The Research Support Building also will house on-site food
services and other staff amenities, replacing the 300 Area cafeteria.

[300 Area Replacement Facility -- Phase II (]{.underline}TEC \$30 M,
FY07 start) - This is the second in a series of replacement buildings
that will house critical research capabilities relocated from the 300
Area clean-up zone to a central campus next to EMSL. This project will
allow the DOE-EM funded disposition of part of the 750,000 gross square
feet of facilities that PNNL occupies in the 300 Area while maintaining
critical research capabilities and programs. The project includes
construction of a 57,000 gross-square-foot facility to replace
laboratory, office, and storage capability consolidated from PNNL 300
Area buildings. If the 300 Area accelerated schedule is not supported
and replacement buildings are not constructed, continue rehabilitation
of PNNL 300 Area facilities will be required.

[300 Area Replacement Facility -- Outyear (]{.underline}TEC \$120 M, FY
08 start) - This project involves a series of replacement buildings that
will house critical research capabilities relocated from the 300 Area
clean-up zone to a central campus next to EMSL. This project will allow
the DOE-EM funded disposition of part of the 750,000 gross square feet
of facilities that PNNL occupies in the 300 Area while maintaining
critical research capabilities and programs.

[Engineering Research Laboratory (]{.underline}TEC \$80 M, FY08 start) -
Expanded mission responsibilities are anticipated for DOE programs in
fuel cell materials and technology, micro-technology, lightweight
materials research for energy-efficient automobiles and trucks, advanced
passive and active electronic sensors, advanced electronic systems, and
bio-based processing. New facilities are needed for prototype testing
and technology demonstration, materials synthesis, fabrication, storage,
and computations. We anticipate the need for segregated work areas to
accommodate the special confidentiality requirements of industrial
partners.
