Y -- PREQUALIFICATION FOR INSTALLATION OF IMPERMEABLE BARRIERS WITH IN-SITU PASS-THROUGH AND TREATMENT SYSTEMS AT SITES WITH SOIL CONTAMINATION SOL A65383B DUE 061097 POC Charles E. Ries, Senior Subcontract Administrator (406) 494-7188 The Subsurface Contamination Focus Area of the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Technology Development and MSE Technology Applications, Inc. are evaluating methods for the control and treatment of contaminated groundwater plumes. Among the technologies being evaluated is impermeable membrane barriers with in-situ pass-throughs and treatment systems. Initially, the technology will be evaluated at the S-3 Ponds area of the U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge Y-12 site at Oak Ridge Tennessee. Several other potential Department of Energy sites for installation and evaluation have been identified and projects at those locations are in various stages of planning. Successful completion of these installations may lead to the implementation of similar installations at commercial sites in the Pacific Northwest. This is a Solicitation for Prequalification of Parties interested in designing and installing impermeable membrane barriers with in-situ pass-throughs and treatment systems. The following items are being considered: (a) parties with experience in a radioactive and/or hazardous waste environment with particular emphasis on transuranic materials and volatile organics; (b) experience in designing, manufacturing and installing impermeable membrane barriers with in-situ pass-throughs and treatment systems; (c) availability (e.g., time to mobilize); (d)company and personnel experience (including specific projects); (e) experience working at government facilities; (f) information on additional development/testing for the technology. Any willingness to provide cost-sharing opportunities should also be identified. A PRE-QUALIFICATION PACKAGE WILL NOT BE ISSUED. Parties wishing to prequalify should address each of the items listed above. Items a and b will be given the most weight in determining qualification. To be considered, interested parties should respond with 21 days of the date of publicaton of this announcement Respondents will be evaluated based on the verifiable information supplied. Project initiationis scheduled forlate summer 1997 for the Oak Ridge project. (0136)
