Description
The Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab) is seeking information on the cost and schedule for different types of magnet coils for use in the Electron Ion Collider (EIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The magnet coils would be procured based on either drawing design or technical specifications. The RFI process is a tool utilized to gain industry input into the process on the strategy, specifications, and supporting documentation as they get finalized prior to any formal requests for proposal(s).
Some key points about the job and scope of work include:
• The magnet coils shall be Oxygen-Free High Conductivity (OFHC) copper coils.
• The coils shall be electrically insulated turn to turn and coil to ground with a fiberglass/vacuum impregnated epoxy system.
• The Contractor is responsible for designing and fabricating all the tooling necessary and developing the methods needed to consistently wind the coils and to install the water fittings and plugs.
• The coils will have detailed coil design requirements and a supporting coil drawing with tolerances.
• The Contractor shall maintain a documented quality assurance (QA) system, which provides the processes to ensure that each magnet produced for acceptance conforms to the requirements of the applicable technical specifications.
