- Description
- The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) proposes to enter into a sole-source contract with the North Bethesda Marriott Hotel and Conference Center to provide hotel and conference space in support of the annual Regulatory Information Conference (RIC) to be held March 8-10, 2011; March 13-15, 2012; and March 12-14, 2013. The proposed contract's period of performance is October 1, 2010 through September 30, 2011 with two one-year option periods. The objective of the RIC is to provide a forum to bring together diverse groups of stakeholders and to inform them of significant and timely regulatory activities. These activities include important research findings, rulemaking, significant regulatory issues, generic issues, regulatory process and procedure improvements, and other items of high interest such as license renewal. The annual conference is a communication forum that provides for informal open dialog between the public and the regulatory process and supports the NRC's strategic plan values. The NRC requires the services of a hotel and conference center within close proximity to NRC headquarters (HQ) and the capacity to accommodate approximately 2,000 attendees. To ensure NRC employee participation, the RIC must be held within close proximity to the NRC HQ. Historical data has shown that if the RIC's location is not within close proximity to the NRC HQ in Rockville, MD then NRC employee attendance decreases by 15 percent. By holding the RIC in a facility within Rockville, MD, NRC employees will save an estimated 35 minutes per day (approximately $13,440 per day in cost savings to the NRC) compared to traveling to a facility located outside of Rockville, MD. Furthermore, transportation (i.e., shuttle buses, metro fare cards) for NRC employees to attend the RIC at a farther location would add considerable costs to the NRC. NRC will save approximately $49,500 in shuttle bus and approximately $13,500 in metro fare cards costs. The North Bethesda Marriott Hotel and Conference Center (Marriott) is the only hotel/conference center that is located within a 5 mile proximity to the NRC HQ and has the capacity to accommodate approximately 2,000 attendees for the RIC. Therefore, the Marriott is the only hotel/conference facility that can meet NRC requirements for hotel and conference space in support of the annual RIC. This is not a request for competitive proposals. Request for copies of this solicitation will not be honored unless the respondent provides evidence showing their capability to perform the required services. Inquiries regarding this announcement may be made to Jennifer A. DeFino, Contract Specialist by phone at (301) 492-3637 or via e-mail at Jennifer.DeFino@nrc.gov.
