Proposals are due by the end of February from subcontractors interested in overhauling the electric power infrastructure within Area 100 of the Department of Energy’s Hanford Site in Washington state, according to an updated procurement notice.
Proposals in response to the solicitation launched by Leidos-led Hanford Mission Integration Solutions, which acts as city manager for the nuclear cleanup property, are due by 4 p.m. Pacific Time on Feb. 29, according to the updated procurement notice posted online Monday.
Offers were initially due Jan. 25.
“At the Hanford Site, the current 13.8 kV [kilovolt] electrical power distribution configuration was primarily designed and built over 40 years ago, and many components are near or at the end of their design life,” according to new work scope documents posted this week. “There have been pole fires in the area, which are a common occurrence with aged poles, and the tracking phenomenon associated with buildup of foreign material on the poles with the addition of moisture.”
Existing electric demands in the area include Pump and Treat facilities scattered along the river, Bonneville Power Administration’s Hanford substation, the B Reactor, and river pumping stations, according to the documents.
While Hanford Mission Integration Solutions initially said it wanted a subcontractor utilizing a weekly schedule of four 10-hour workdays, it said Monday it would consider a schedule of six 10-hour workdays weekly.
