Award criteria: The most economic tender

Technical requirements: Design and build of NB power supply building (B 34) and NB high voltage power supply building (B 37), the fast discharge and switching networks resistor building (B 75) and control building (B 71)
The ITER project aims to build a fusion device twice the size of the largest current devices with the goal of demonstrating the scientific and technical feasibility of fusion power.
The fusion reactor is being constructed in Europe, at Cadarache in the south of France. F4E is responsible for providing the infrastructure and for housing the various components necessary for the Tokamak as well as providing some equipment. All this work is divided up into Tender Batches (TB).
— design and build contract including design, construction, test & commissioning and Taking-Over by F4E of the Neutral Beam Power Supply Buildings (Buildings 34 and 37),
The baseline scope of the TB12 Contract is Design and Build and includes design, construction, test & commissioning and Taking-Over by F4E of the following works:
1) PBS63/65 - B34 & B37 - Neutral Beam Power Supply Buildings (B37 is Safety Relevant), including civil, M&E, finishing works, and surrounding area.
2) PBS 61/65: Area 30 - Retention pits, foundations for transformers, segregation walls, embedded plates, base plates (all Safety Relevant) and associated M&E works.
6) PBS 63/65 - B75 Fast Discharge & Switching Networks Resistor Building non-PIC /SR, design and build of the civil, M&E (services) and finishing works’ activities and Taking-Over by F4E.
7) PBS 62 -65 Control Building (B71North, Non-PIC and B71 South, PIC), design only of civil, all fire topics, M&E, HVAC, C&I, architectural finishing works and surrounding area but excluding execution design for B71 South PIC.
The following options may be exercised in accordance with Sub-Clause 13.5 (Options) of the Conditions of Contract:
— Option 1: B71 North, Control Building, Non-PIC, construction, test & commissioning and Taking-Over by F4E including the PBS61 infrastructure works around the B71 North.
— Option 2: B71 South, Control Building PIC, execution design, construction, test & commissioning and Taking-Over by F4E including the PBS61/26/65/43 infrastructure works around the B71 South.
— Option 3: B75 Fast Discharge & Switching Networks Resistor Building, PIC, design, and build of the civil, M&E (services) and finishing works’ activities including design, construction, test & commissioning and Taking-Over by F4E. This option includes the surrounding PBS61/26/65/43 infrastructure works.
— Option 4: Cryoline Bridge from B52 to B74 (SR) and the busbar Plant Bridges from B32 and B33 to B74 (SR), design and build of the civil, M&E (services) and finishing works’ activities including design, construction, test & commissioning and Taking-Over by F4E.
— Option 6: 2 years Operation and Maintenance of the TB12 baseline scope and of exercised options after taking over.
