The Department of Energy’s waste tank management contractor at the Hanford Site in Washington state has issued a request for proposals (RFP) for a construction services subcontractor to support its work.
AECOM-led Washington River Protection Solutions (WRPS), which manages about 56 million gallons of radioactive waste in 177 underground tanks, issued the small business set-aside solicitation Monday for a potential $90 million subcontract.
A preproposal conference and work-site tour are scheduled for Nov. 29 at 851 Smartpark in Richland, Wash. Prospective bidders should file an “intent to propose” by Dec. 3, according to the blanket master agreement. Questions on the solicitation are due by Dec. 17.
The actual proposals deadline is 4 p.m. Pacific time on Jan. 3, 2019. The primary contact on the solicitation is Senior Procurement Specialist Mark Friend, at [email protected].
The subcontractor would provide WRPS with “fabrication, construction, and commissioning,” according to the RFP. The document indicates piping might be among the components made by the subcontractor. It is expected to be a three-year deal encompassing a one-year base and two one-year extensions. Work will typically be done inside the fenced-in tank management area, or next to it.
The award criteria will be based on factors such as prior experience, technical approach, key personnel, and cost, according to the RFP.
