C -- A-E SERVICES FOR REACTOR DECOMMISSIONING PLANNING SOL 3-115736 DUE 122498 POC Thomas A. Spicer, Contracting Officer, Phone (216) 433-2762, Fax (216) 433-5489, Email Thomas.A.Spicer@lerc.nasa.gov WEB: Click here for the latest information about this notice, http://nais.nasa.gov/EPS/LeRC/date.html#3-115736. E-MAIL: Thomas A. Spicer, Thomas.A.Spicer@lerc.nasa.gov. Architect and Engineering Services include, but are not limited to the preparation of a decommissioning plan for the Plum Brook Reactor Facility (PBRF) located at the Plum Brook Station, Sandusky, Ohio. The Plum Brook Station is a satellite facility of the NASA Lewis Research Center, Cleveland, Ohio. The PBRF consists of a 60 Megawatt (MW) test reactor and a 100 kilowatt (KW) mock-up reactor constructed in 1960. The facilities operated in support of NASA programs for about 11 years and were shut down in 1973. A major decommissioning effort was then undertaken and completed in July 1973 which included removal of all new and used nuclear fuel from the site (subsequently reprocessed at Federal facilities), decontamination of select equipment to the extent practicable, and placement of all systems in a safe, secure, dry storage mode. In response to NASA's request, the facility's operating licenses were changed to "possess but do not operate" licenses by the Nuclear Regulator Commission (NRC) when the fieldwork mentioned above was completed. NASA in 1984 completed a detailed Engineering Study which confirmed the calculated Reactor tank inventory of radioactive isotopes with actual measurements. It also included estimated costs for complete dismantling. In 1998 NASA agreed to complete a decommissioning plan by December 31, 1999 and to complete decommissioning of the PBRF by 2007. A study of decommissioning alternatives was completed in 1998 which lead to the choice of decontamination as the preferred alternative. Work includes preparation of a decommissioning plan which complies with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.82 and 10 CFR 20.1402 and could include related engineering studies, site characterization, and final designs. Fixed price contracts for all work shall be individually scheduled for award. The major disciplines required are nuclear, chemical, and environmental engineering, and radiation health physics, and within these disciplines specialized experience is required in preparation of decommissioning plans for nuclear reactors regulated by the NRC. Prospective A/E firms will be evaluated on the criteria listed below in order of importance: (1) Specialized experience and technical competence in the type of work required. (2) Professional qualifications of the staff to be assigned to this contract (including any consultants and subcontractors). (3) Capacity to accomplish work in the required time. (4) Past performance on contracts with Government agencies and private industry in terms of cost control, quality of work, and compliance with performance schedules; (5) Location of the firm in the general geographic area, provided an appropriate number of qualified firms respond therein. The above criteria which address the specialized experience, technical competence and past performance shall be limited to the immediately preceding ten years. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS: to be considered, firms shall submit a SF-245 and SF-255 and supplementary information as identified above. All responsible sources who wish to be considered should submit a SF-254 and SF-255 to be received in this office on or before close of business thirty (30) calendar days after appearance of this announcement in the Commerce Business Daily (should the date fall on a weekend or holiday, the SF254 and SF-255 will be due the first workday thereafter). This is not a request for proposal. Submissions shall be addressed to Spicer, Thomas A./ Contracting Officer (Mail Stop 500-312), NASA Lewis Research, 21000 Brookpark Road, Cleveland, Ohio 44135 Posted 11/24/98 (D-SN274455). (0328)
