RFI -LBNF EPAs

The Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF) Project is seeking industry input on Economic Price Adjustment (EPA) provisions for construction contracts. The project aims to gather information on preferred approaches to EPA methodologies, including commodity-based, type-of-work-based, and general construction index EPAs. The scope of the project includes the construction of above- and below-ground buildings and facilities, roads, utilities, and sitework. Respondents are requested to provide input on the advantages, disadvantages, and best practices of different EPA approaches. • The LBNF Project is a world-class program in neutrino physics. • The project involves the construction of buildings and facilities at Fermilab in Batavia, IL. • The EPA provisions are intended to address cost volatility in construction contracts. • Respondents are encouraged to provide concise, experience-based answers to the market research questions. • The submission deadline for responses is March 12, 2026.
