The Energy Department’s Office of Environmental Management on Tuesday released a request for information and sources sought inquiry for stack dismantlement at the Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island, N.Y.
The Environmental Management office is planning an upcoming solicitation for a contractor to decommission, tear down, and conduct site clearance for the High Flux Beam Reactor (HFBR) and related buildings at Brookhaven. The small research reactor operated from 1965 through 1996, when a tritium leak was discovered when the facility shut down for refueling.
Since it was permanently shut down in 1999, the reactor has undergone stabilization and partial decommissioning, according to the Brookhaven website.
The Energy Department is seeking input from interested vendors with the particular skills needed for major parts of the project. Responses are due Aug. 6. The contact is contracting officer Ian Rexroad, [email protected].
“Key market research goals include identifying and minimizing barriers to competition, evaluating small business capabilities, identifying risks, estimating price, evaluating specific methods for performance, and identifying appropriate RFP/contract terms and conditions,” according the DOE press release.
The Energy Department posted more details in a FedConnect notice.
The Energy Department’s Office of Environmental Management has extended the deadline from July 20 to Aug. 3 for prospective vendors to submit bids on a consolidated technical support services contract.
After issuing the request for proposals on June 7, DOE on July 3 announced an amendment that extends the deadline. The indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract would cover Environmental Management headquarters in Washington, D.C., and other sites operated by the nuclear cleanup office.
The solicitation seeks to consolidate more than a dozen technical support services contracts. The five-year deal would have a maximum value of $49.5 million.
The DOE’s Environmental Management Consolidated Business Center on June 21 and June 28 posted two rounds of questions and answers about the solicitation
Among other things, DOE clarified the RFP is a set-aside for section 8(a) small businesses. In response to a question, DOE defined a “major subcontractor” as one doing at least $2 million of work on the contract.
The Energy Department has said the contract could be awarded in December. The RFP indicates the winning bidder will provide technical support services covering a wide gamut of work, including project management, communications, security, safety, emergency preparation, construction, decommissioning, and demolition.
