The Department of Energy has scheduled a pre-solicitation conference and site tour for the Moab, Utah, Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action (UMTRA) technical assistance contract.
The event is scheduled for 9 a.m. local time on Dec. 14 in Moab. The registration deadline is Wednesday, Dec. 7. Interested parties must send their name, title, and organization to contracting officer John Blecher at [email protected]. No more than two employees from any organization can participate, and visitors should be citizens of the United States.
The contract recipient would provide a host of technical services — including program and records management, training, information technology and telecommunications infrastructure, safeguards and security, quality assurance, public affairs, and revegetation — for the UMTRA project.
The cleanup program involves relocation of millions of tons of mill tailings and other material from the onetime uranium ore processing plant and nearby properties in Moab to a final disposal site at Crescent Junction, Utah. Cleanup contractor Portage Inc. is doing the work under a five-year, $156 million follow-on contract that lasts to Sept. 30, 2021.
The current technical assistance contract is scheduled to expire on June 19, 2017, according to the sources sought/request for information from the DOE Environmental Management Consolidated Business Center (EMCBC).
DOE expects to issue the next technical assistance contract in the second quarter of 2017. It anticipates awarding a five-year indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract that will feature firm-fixed-price and time-and-material task orders. The procurement will be a full set-aside for the U.S. Small Business Administration’s 8(a) Business Development Program.
More details regarding the pre-solicitation conference and site tour are expected soon on the EMCBC web page for the contract.
