DOE EXTENDS DUE DATE FOR RESPONSES TO OAK RIDGE SLUDGE BUILDOUT

The Department of Energy has extended from April 16 to April 28 its due date for responses from firms interested in providing architect and engineering services for design of the Sludge Processing Facility Buildouts Project at the Oak Ridge Transuranic Waste Processing Center. Questions about the procurement should be submitted no later than April 14. The procurement is being competed on an unrestricted basis, and DOE plans to issue a cost-reimbursable-type contract that will run approximately three years for design services, with services to continue to provide assistance for construction oversight, according the notice. The estimated start date for the work is November 2014. 

 

The Sludge Processing Facility Buildouts Project is intended to address approximately 2,000 cubic meters of remote-handled transuranic waste sludge and associated supernate. DOE is seeking a firm to design and build a test facility and plans to conduct a separate procurement for a contract to build and operate the Sludge Processing Facility Buildouts Project.
