- Description
- The United States Department of Energy (DOE) plans to issue Requestfor Proposals (RFP) DE-RP30-08CC400015 for the operation of two conversion facilities on DOE sites at Paducah, Kentucky, and Portsmouth, Ohio. These facilities will convert DOEs inventory of depleted uranium hexafluoride (DUF6) located at the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant and the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant to a more stable chemical form, primarily uranium oxide, acceptable for transportation, potential use/reuse, and/or disposition. Related objectives are to provide cylinder surveillance and maintenance (S&M) and disposal of the DOE inventory of DUF6, low-enrichment uranium hexafluoride (LEUF6), natural assay UF6 (NUF6), and empty heel cylinders in a safe and environmentally acceptable manner as allowed by law and policy. A single solicitation will be issued that will result in award of two contracts (one for each site) to a single offeror. DOE currently has a contract with Uranium Disposition Services (UDS), LLC, for the design, construction and operation of the two conversion facilities which expires February 2011. The selected contractors responsibilities will include, but are not limited to, the following requirements: 1) conduct an orderly transition from the incumbent contractor to begin start-up activities for conversion plant operations at both facilities; 2) operate and maintain the conversion facilities, including disposition of uranium oxide and disposal of wastes; 3) provide surveillance and maintenance of DOEs inventory of cylinders; and 4) provide direct disposition of the DOE inventory of DUF6, LEUF6, NUF6, and empty heel cylinders. The selected contractor will fully support National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) compliance activities, as well as prepare and implement a wide variety of plans and reports which address: project management, NEPA data, regulatory requirements, quality, product management, waste, radiation protection, and other reports as required by the contract. The selected contractor will be required to utilize an Earned Value Management System (EVMS) that is certified to meet ANSI standard ANS/EIA-748-1998. A draft RFP consisting of Sections B (Services and Costs), C (the Statement of Work), L (Instructions) and M (Evaluation Factors) of the uniform contract format will be issued for comment in first quarter 2009, followed by a presolicitation conference for potential offerors. This will enable DOE to begin interactions with potential interested offerors at an early date on the technical aspects of the anticipated solicitation. Details for the presolicitation conference will be posted at a later date. Following consideration of comments received on the Draft RFP, the final solicitation will be issued with an anticipated offer due date for offers 60 days after issuance. The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item or service using FAR Part 12. The NAICS Code and size standards are 561210 and $32.5M respectively. The contracts resulting from this solicitation each will be for five year term. This is a full and open competition and all responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the Government.
