Estimates based upon redline CERN prints Fabrication Budgetary estimates of pricing and leadtime were obtained for the following: Yokes, Collars, Loadpads Master, False Coil Aluminum Shells Nitronic End Plates Axial & Tension Rods Estimates based upon redline CERN prints Updated for domestically available materials and correction to lengths
Yokes, Loadpads & Collars Budgetary estimates received from 6 vendors Focus on vendors with production capability Pricing for all Yokes, Loadpads & Collars Ranged from $100k – $700k 3 Vendors estimated between $280-$400k Leadtimes Range from 4-16 weeks Tolerances driving cost
Budgetary estimates received from 3 vendors Tolerances are issue Master & False Coil Budgetary estimates received from 3 vendors 2 No Bids Tolerances are issue Tight profile tolerance along length, slots positioning along length Possible mitigations Apply tolerances in constrained state, loosen tolerances Large pricing spread $50k -$450k 2 Vendors under $100k Leadtime 16 weeks
Leadtimes range from 16-29 weeks for finished machine parts Aluminum Shells Budgetary estimates from 3 forging vendors & 3 vendors for final machining Forgings – Pricing ranges from 25k-100k Rough Machining only vs. Honed & Turned Final Machining - Pricing ranges from $80k -$200k 2 vendors below $100k Leadtimes range from 16-29 weeks for finished machine parts No tolerance issues communicated
Nitronic End Plates, Axial Rods, & Tension Rods Budgetary Estimates – Nitronic End Plates (2 Each): Estimated Cost - $26.7k Leadtime - 10 weeks Axial Rods (4 each): Estimated Cost - $11k Leadtime - 8 weeks Yoke Tension Rods (8 each): Leadtime – 8 weeks
Procurement Costing Estimate Estimates (LBNL Burdened @ 24.5%) Yokes, Loadpads & Collars - $371k Master, False Coil - $100k Aluminum Shells - $148k Nitronic End Plates - $33.3k Axial & Tension Rods - $27.4k Total (No Contingency)= $680k 30% Contingency = $204k Total with Contingency = $884k
LBNL Procurement Leadtimes Processing Times after Requisition Submitted Up to $25k – 14 Days $25k-$150k – 25 Days $150k- $500k Requires competitive sourcing, leadtimes vary (likely 6-8 weeks) Above $500k Advance Acquisition Alert 30 Days prior to requisition required, additional approvals required, leadtimes on the order of several months
Timeline based upon completing assembly in June 2016 Procurement Strategy Timeline based upon completing assembly in June 2016 Plan to procure all items individually Focus on suppliers capable of production fabrication
