The Leidos-led landlord contractor at the Department of Energy’s Hanford Site in Washington state is shopping for a subcontractor to provide office and warehouse space at the former plutonium production site.
Hanford Mission Integration Solutions (HMIS) on Tuesday put out a request for proposals on an Information Management Field Support Services Replacement Facility at the site. HMIS would take a 10-year lease on the building.
Comments on the solicitation are due by 3 p.m. Pacific Time on Aug. 13. Proposals are due by Aug. 26, according to the notice that appeared in the online System for Award Management (sam.gov).
Information management work is currently based out of a mobile office leased from the Port of Benton, Wash., an HMIS spokesperson said in a Thursday email reply to Exchange Monitor.
Both the new information center and a planned new Data Center, which the contractor issued a solicitation on in June, would be outside the Hanford fence, the spokesperson said. The current data center is located at the Federal Building in Richland, the spokesperson added.
As for the information center, the subcontractor would provide a turnkey space, or build a facility, with a total of 45,000 square feet in downtown Richland, Wash., near the Hanford site. This would include between 10,000 and 15,000 square feet of office space, 5,000-8,000 square feet of warehouse-type storage space and an additional 30,000 square feet of parking and laydown yard, according to solicitation materials.
HMIS, made up of Leidos, Centerra and Parsons, is akin to a city manager for Hanford. HMIS provides DOE and its other prime contractors with needed infrastructure and site services to accomplish the Hanford Site environmental cleanup mission, according to the solicitation documents.
