The Energy Department is doing early planning on a potential solicitation for teardown and removal of facilities at sites including Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California and Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York state.
The department’s Office of Environmental Management on Aug. 9 issued a request for information (RFI)/sources sought notice for deactivation, decommissioning, and removal services.
Cleanup of facilities and waste would be done for the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) and DOE Office of Science at various locations around the nation. A DOE press release specifically cited the Livermore and Brookhaven labs, but indicated others could be included in a future contract.
Submissions are due by 5 p.m. Eastern time on Aug. 30. DOE Contracting Officer Kimberly Tate can be reached at [email protected].
The Energy Department is asking potential contractors to discuss their experience conducting teardown and removal work over the past five years, along with their expertise with complicated pension and benefit programs. The feedback will be a resource for market research intended to identify qualified contractors, minimize barriers to entry, examine small business capabilities, and reduce risk.
There is no performance work statement yet as planning is still in the early stages, DOE said. “The anticipated number of procurements, types of contracts, periods of performance, amount of funding, and set aside possibilities are to be determined,” according to the RFI from the Environmental Management Consolidated Business Center.
