Proposal for the renegotiation of a contract for the supply of eight coil casings for the barrel toroid magnet of the ATLAS detector

This document concerns the renegotiation of a contract for the supply of eight coil casings for the Barrel Toroid Magnet of the ATLAS detector. The proposal for the award of a contract with ABB ENERTECH (CH) was presented to Finance Committee for information in September 1998 (CERN/FC/4089). In view of the developments outlined in this document, the Finance Committee is invited to agree to the renegotiation of a contract with ALSTOM SWITZERLAND (CH), for the supply of eight coil casings for the ATLAS Barrel Toroid Magnet for a total Ex-works price of 12 580 000 Swiss francs, subject to revision after 31 July 2001, with an option for an extra coil casing for an additional Ex-works price of 1 525 000 Swiss francs, subject to revision after 31 July 2001, bringing the total amount for the supply to 14 105 000 Swiss francs, subject to revision after 31 July 2001. The total amount of the contract, including transport to the integration site, will not exceed 14 490 000 Swiss francs, subject to revision after 31 July 2001. The increase in price for the eight coil casings, excluding the option for the additional coil casing and transport to the integration site, will not exceed 4 084 000 Swiss francs. The additional cost will be borne mainly by the participating institutes in Germany and Switzerland, according to their relative contribution to the original total price. Any outstanding balance will be financed by the ATLAS Common Fund. CERN's contribution will not exceed 500 000 Swiss francs. The option for the additional coil casing, if needed, as well as the cost of transport to the integration site will be covered by the ATLAS Common Fund. CERN's contribution will not exceed 300 000 Swiss francs. The firm has indicated the following distribution by country of the contract value covered by this adjudication proposal: DE - 57%; CH - 29%; NL - 14%.
