The contractor managing construction of the Mixed Oxide Fuel Fabrication Facility at the Department of Energy’s Savannah River Site in South Carolina this week issued a request for proposals for a fixed-price subcontract to install HVAC ductwork for the project.
CB&I AREVA MOX Services said the subcontract will involve the installation of ductwork, supports, and in-line devices in ductwork systems in rooms at the MOX Fuel Fabrication Building, the manufacturing area that consists of the MOX Processing Area, the Aqueous Polishing Area, and the shipping and receiving area. The building contains roughly 1.3 million pounds of ductwork.
“The scope of work is for labor, construction supervision, tools, equipment, and consumable materials required to install the HVAC systems,” the scope of work document said. CB&I AREVA MOX Services will supply all necessary permanent equipment and materials.
The contractor intends to make one award for the work and will evaluate offers based on a determination of “best value,” with an emphasis on each bidder’s technical proposal. Bids are due by March 16; prospective bidders can find proposal instructions on fedbizopps.gov. A preproposal conference is being held today at the contractor’s Savannah River Site offices near Aiken. S.C.
