Description

Amendment 2 has been issued for this statement of interest which replaces the NAICS code. The new NAICS code for this is 562910, Environmental Remediation Services (500 employees). CH2M HILL Hanford Group, Inc. (CH2M HILL) in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Tank Farm Contract, is soliciting interest and information from qualified firms having the capability of performing analytical services (laboratory management; inorganic, organic and radiochemical analyses; methods development and process troubleshooting) for the analysis of radioactive and/or hazardous waste samples. The DOE has announced the pending transfer of the 222-S Laboratory to CH2M HILL, the primary user of the Laboratory?s analytical services. In addition to supporting CH2M HILL, the Laboratory provides site-wide analytical services for the Hanford site. CH2M HILL is interested in contracting with a nationally recognized laboratory organization to gain commercial efficiencies in operations. This will be a local business preference solicitation. To be considered local, interested parties must be operating in the local vicinity of the Hanford site for the duration of any resulting contract. For interested parties not presently operating within the local vicinity, but plan to respond to the proposed solicitation, sufficient details showing such planning so as to be fully operational at the time of contract award (September 2003) shall be required to be submitted with their proposal. Further it is the intent of CH2M HILL to provide the maximum practical opportunity for small businesses to participate in contract performance. Therefore, small businesses, small women-owned businesses, small disadvantaged businesses, and small service-disabled businesses are encouraged to apply and/or participate in teaming agreements to participate in contract performance. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for determining size status is 541380. Interested parties are hereby requested to review and provide comments on the information provided herein. Closing date for this RFI is May 14, 2003. An informational session on the existing analytical services will be conducted on April 24, 2003. Tour schedules of the facility will be announced at the meeting. Participants will be advised where to meet for the tour. The tour will be restricted to two individuals for each firm who will participate. A draft Request for Proposal (RFP) is anticipated to be released on or about June 18, 2003. There will be a second tour conducted after the draft RFP has been issued for those parties who wish to attend. CH2M HILL is requesting interest and information on 3 options for analytical services: 1. Management and direction of the 222-S Analytical Laboratory on the Hanford site that is being transferred to CH2M HILL, as a member of the CH2M HILL team. 2. Becoming an approved subcontractor to CH2M HILL in charge of the analytical services scope performing the analyses for CH2M HILL including absorbing the current equipment and staff (augmented as appropriate) into the subcontract organization to complete the necessary scope. 3. Performing some or all of the analytical services scope at offsite operations The successful Contractor shall be required to accept the Labor Agreement in place with the Hanford Atomic Metal Trade Council (HAMTC-AFL-CIO) at the time of contract award. The terms of this Labor Agreement will be applicable to these employees until the Contractor executes a new labor contract with HAMTC. The successful Contractor will be required to offer employment to transferring HAMTC represented personnel. These bargaining unit employees will become employees of the Contractor as of the effective date of the Contract for Options 2 and 3.
