F -- DECISION ANALYSIS SCIENCE MODELING FOR APPLICATION AND FIELDING SELECTION APPLIED TO EQUIPMENT DISMANTLEMENT TECHNOLOGIES SOL HCET010 DUE 033198 POC Leo Lagos, Phone No:(305)348-1810 OFFADD: Hemispheric Center for Environment Technology, Florida International University, Suite 2100, Center for Engineering and Applied Sciences, 10555 W. Flagler Street Miami, Florida 33174 SUBJECT:DECISION ANALYSIS SCIENCE MODELLING FOR APPLICATION AND FIELDING SELECTION TO EQUIPMENT DISMANTLEMENT TECHNOLOGIES POC: Dr. M.A.Ebadian, (305) 348-3585, Leo Lagos (305) 348-1810, DESC : The Hemispheric center for Environment Technology (HCET) at Florida International University (FIU) is seeking qualified suppliers to aid in an engineering study for the comparative analysis of equipment dismantlement technologies for a variety of test surrogates. The study is being performed to support the United States Department of Energy Office of Science and technology. The study will be conducted at the campus of FIU in Miami, Florida. The testing surrogates will be provided by HCET. The surrogates include 4"and 6" diameter pipes (schedule 40 steel), W6 x16 and W16 x 31 structural I -- beams (A36 grade steel), large process equipment, 1" thick metal plate (A36 grade steel), concrete filled 6" diameter metal barricades, galvanized electrical conduits, 1" diameter railings, 12" diameter drainage pipe (cast iron) and tanks (3/4" thickness, carbon steel) that would require dismantlement. The surrogates will not be radiologically contaminated. Each technology will be tested upon its ability of dismantling the given surrogates. The technologies in the study will include mechanical dismantlement and thermal dismantlement technologies. All other applicable technologies are encouraged to respond. The qualified suppliers will be asked to optimize the operation as it is applicable to each surrogate. Qualified firms shall have five years minimum experience in nuclear decontamination and two years minimum experience with the proposed technology. The qualified firms are to provide references of nuclear decontamination jobs completed. Interested firms should send a letter of qualification stating how the firm meets the minimum requirements including: address, contact person, telephone, and fax numbers to Mr. Leonel Lagos, Hemispheric Center for Environmental Technology, Florida International University, 10555 West Flagler Street, EAS Suite 2100, Miami, Florida 33174, no later than 03/31/98. The letter of qualification will be used to prequalify prospective companies. The request for proposal (RFP) will be available for the qualified firms approximately 04/09/98. (0050)
