One day after the Energy Department issued a draft request for proposals for lab services at the Hanford Site in Washington state, an agency official said a final RFP could soon hit the street for another contract.
The final RFP for the potential 10-year, $4 billion Hanford Mission Essential Services contract could be out by the end of August, Norbert Doyle, acting deputy assistant secretary for acquisition and project management in DOE’s Office of Environmental Management, said Tuesday. The document is undergoing final tweaks, he said.
Incumbent Mission Support Alliance owns the current contract through May 2019, covering security, other emergency services, land management, and running the Hazardous Materials Management and Emergency Response (HAMMER) training site.
The Environmental Management office issued the draft RFP for the “landlord” contract in November 2017, Doyle said. “We received a lot of comments on that,” and they had to be addressed, he added during a meeting in Washington, D.C., on doing business with the department cleanup office.
On Monday, DOE rolled out the draft RFP for what could be a seven-year, $904 million deal for analysis services at Hanford’s 222-S Laboratory. Wastren Advantage owns the work through September 2020.
The Energy Department also in June issued a final RFP for a potential $125 million contract to provide occupational medical services to employees at Hanford. The contract could last for up to seven years, including options. The deadline for submitting bids is Aug. 14, Doyle noted. The incumbent is HPM Corp. of Kennewick, Wash.
In July, the agency delayed release of a draft RFP for Hanford’s Central Plateau cleanup pending meetings with prospective bidders from Aug. 14 to Aug. 16. CH2M Hill Plateau Remediation is the incumbent under a roughly $6 billion, 10-year contract. The contract was set to expire Sept. 30, but DOE said in June it plans an extension of up to one year.
