About 30 people participated in a virtual pre-proposal conference Oct. 28 on the Department of Energy’s planned new infrastructure services contract at the Portsmouth Site in Ohio.
That is according to a registration list published recently by the DOE’s Environmental Management Consolidated Business Center for the event. The business center also posted slides and a video presentation on the solicitation.
The Department of Energy issued the final request for proposals (RFP) on Oct. 13 for a follow-up contract to replace the roughly five-year, $117-million agreement held by Portsmouth Mission Alliance, a team comprising North Wind Group and Swift and Staley.
The incumbent agreement is scheduled to expire in February. Bids on the new contract are due Dec. 1.
In addition to the two incumbents, other familiar firm names included Akima, Global Energy & Technology, Leidos, Navarro and Spectra Tech,
The winning contractor will act as a provider of landlord services to what is basically “a self-contained city” of more than 3,000 acres, according to a DOE’s RFP lead Tracey Duncan said during the briefing. The contract, which has a 60-day transition period, combines fixed prices for some services plus special task orders for others.
Services will include everything from pest control, safeguards and security, recordkeeping, to maintenance of roads, parking lots, and buildings.
