    Title
    Posted
    The Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF) / Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) project requires rigging services through a subcontract with Fermi Forward Discovery Group, LLC. This Statement of Work (SOW) outlines the responsibilities and requirements for the subcontractor in South Dakota, specifically concerning rigging personnel, equipment, and materials necessary for the movement of heavy materials during the installation of neutrino detectors underground at the Sanford Underground Research Facility. Key tasks include preparing materials, setting up rigging equipment, supervising the movement of loads, and maintaining safety standards. The subcontractor is responsible for providing personnel with the necessary qualifications and personal protective equipment, and ensuring compliance with safety regulations under OSHA and DOE standards. The schedule calls for two shifts of rigging services, and special requests beyond standard services may arise as needed. The subcontractor must also produce weekly activity reports and timesheets while adhering to all environmental and safety protocols set by Fermi Forward. This comprehensive SOW ensures effective management of rigging tasks essential for advancing the neutrino physics program, enhancing federal scientific research initiatives.
