Description

99-Bechtel BWXT Idaho, LLC (BBWI), P.O. Box 1625, Idaho Falls, ID 83415-4142. TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL OF INEEL WERF DEMOLITION DEBRIS Contact Mr. James A. Alberico. Bechtel BWXT Idaho, LLC, a management and operating contractor for the Department of Energy (DOE) at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL), is seeking an expression of interest from firms to treat and dispose of debris generated from the dismantlement of the INEEL Waste Experimental Reduction Facility (WERF) incinerator. The facilities for treatment must be privately owned and operated outside of areas managed by DOE and must have a mechanism for disposal of the treated waste. Appropriate licenses and permits obtained at vendor expense must be in place prior to treatment under the contract(s). The amount of waste for which treatment is estimated at between 11,000 and 15,000 cubic feet over the next three years. The waste to be treated includes the dismantled WERF incinerator system, air pollution control system (APCS), miscellaneous components, and personal protective equipment (PPE). The individual components range in size from 20 cubic feet to 1,100 cubic feet and weigh between 500 pounds and 70,000 pounds. The debris carries a high number of EPA waste codes and is potentially contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). The radioactive component of the subject waste is classified as low level radioactive material. The radioactive component is not classified as transuranic (i.e. alpha emitting radionuclides with an atomic number greater than 92, half life greater than 20 years, in concentrations greater than 100 nanocuries per gram) or high level waste. Services to be contracted include performing any necessary sorting and sizing of debris required prior to treatment, macroencapsulating the waste to meet applicable regulatory standards and requirements, any interim storage at the treatment facility, transporting and disposing of the macroencapsulated debris and any residuals in a permitted and licensed facility. The treated waste must meet all regulatory and other applicable requirements for disposal. Development of the request for proposal (RFP) and treatment of waste under the contract(s) will be contingent on availability of necessary funding. The RFP, if developed, will include detailed waste stream information. Qualified respondents must provide, in writing two (2) copies; company name, address, point of contact, phone/tax numbers, and a concise summary report that describes the capabilities of the respondent and a listing of all similar activities within the last 5 years complete with reference names and telephone numbers, and copies of licenses and permits held including NRC and agreement state licenses for radioactive materials and RCRA permits. The expression of interest is totally separate from all other solicitations involving facilities or services for the treatment of INEEL Mixed Low Level Waste. Firms interested in responding should forward the requisite information to: Mr. James A. Alberico, Bechtel BWXT Idaho, LLC, P.O. Box 1625, Idaho Falls, ID 83415-4142. Responses by fax or telephone will be considered nonresponsive. This solicitation will close 10 working days after publication.
